"That is why you are not in trouble. You did not desert, you used your best judgment, told us where you would be, and left accompanied. We didn't have a process in place for the situation, so you did what you could. You did what was right. You should never have been put in a situation where you had to make an unsafe journey in order to do the right thing."

After a moment's hesitation followed by a well why the hell not, Nathaniel takes two glasses and a bottle of Fereldan peat whisky from a drawer, pouring about a finger for each of them and sliding one glass toward her.

"We accommodate a number of our people and their exceptional circumstances--Alistair is technically banished from Ferelden, Anders doesn't go into tight spaces, et cetera. What do you need from your leaders?"
