Mia is the one who needs to be focused on now, but Ellana's greatest weakness is compliments (and tiny cakes, but mostly compliments). Whether real or imagined, she's felt underappreciated for so long that anyone giving her a compliment just sucks her in completely. The Inquisition is filled with people who have shown they appreciate her, and while she soaks it all in, it makes her want to work all the harder to be worthy of their acknowledgment.
"Oh, Mia," she says, moving to her friend's side. "You take care of everyone. But sometimes you need someone to take care of you too."
