All things considered, Gwenaëlle is a very sensible girl.
"I am sure I could twist opinions I desire out of people," Leliana agrees, with little hesitation. She knows what she is, knows what others understand her to be. "But you wrote on the matter voluntarily. It was of interest enough that you gave it your time, even when a friend lay ill, and when it might have been forgivable to lend your writing less time than you otherwise might. You, for all your disinterest, care."
Leliana pauses, and leans back very slightly. "I apologise. I did not invite you here to issue a lecture. That is hardly a fitting way to thank someone, I think."
The apology is both sincere, and playing a part. Just because it is one does not mean it cannot be the other, and she picks up the plate of tartlets to hold it in offering to Gwenaëlle. "I highly recommend the caramel."
