"Aye, I know it's not the end of the world, either, but it'd be nice. Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and some'll fall through a rift sometime."
There's a note of enthusiasm as he says that, but he doesn't really expect there to be a crate of whisky - or bourbon - falling through any time soon. And the stuff they have here is passable enough, all things considered, but there's times where something from home would be nice. Still, at least he's still here to want it, so maybe it's not so bad, something that gets him to lift his chin a touch proudly.
"Ah, it'll take more than a knock on the head to keep a McCrimmon down. Might have to hold off on playing the pipes a bit longer, but I'll get back to that soon enough."
Sorry, Skyhold.
But in the meantime, her words also spark a look of regret on his end, not too dissimilar to the expression he'd had when he'd had to take care of the guard back in the cell. He reaches for his mug, picking it up and taking a drink from it, but even after that there's still echoes of it there in his expression.
"Look, I know it probably won't help much but...I'm sorry for what happened. Don't think any of us thought that it would turn out like that when we all went to close the rifts. You shouldn't have had to go through that."
