Katniss had, through the kindness of Varric Tethras himself gotten a list of all of his books that were there. She went late at night, when she couldn't sleep, leaving Buttercup to hunt the mice in their tower.

Most of Skyhold is quiet, this time of night, and Katniss is able to avoid most of the servants and guards without disturbing anyone's rest or work. So she is faintly surprised to find green eyes glaring at her out of the darkness -- but the Dalish woman isn't the only one with feline in her genes.

She glares right back, offering up a challenge to question why she doesn't have a right to be where a Dalish elf is.
