[It's definitely cheating, but if it works isn't that what matters? Food and drink forgotten for the moment, Korrin's face softens and tears spring to her eyes as she holds onto that hand as thought it's a lifeline. Her voice has been wavering between the calm of despair and the roughness of that raw hurt, and right now it's more the latter, though there's a warmth to it as she gazes at her kadan with tear-filled eyes.]

I love you, too, kadan. Always. I'll find a way to reach you first before I go off the deep end, promise. [She's pretty good about that, normally, but a reminder never hurts, and Araceli's words make her heart ache in a good way.]

...and I know. If it was just me, I wouldn't give a nug's ass what anyone else thinks of me or how I am. I still don't, mostly. But there are too many people who'd look at me and judge everyone else like me for it. [That's the hardest part about being in Kirkwall, having to keep herself in check far more than she ever needed to in Skyhold. Recent events hardly help that strain.] I may be selfish, but I'm not selfish enough to drag people down with me.

[At least, while she's in her right mind. Korrin has to make that willpower last, though, she'd hate herself if any of her actions end up costing the very people she's trying to help. She draws in a deep breath, turning her gaze to their hands and seeming to gain some strength from it. What she can't accomplish alone, they can together.]

...I can do that. The gambling and moving and anything else in that area. I didn't join the project to sit on my ass, so whatever you need you'll have it from my end. And if we can sail away from Kirkwall for a while to do whatever needs doing...all the better. [If they can get some new -or at least different- sights while she processes all this, it might help. It can't hurt, at least.]
