She can't help but grin when Myr seems to approve of her goals. Sometimes, she wonders if she isn't just...deluding herself, whether it would work, or whether anyone else would want it to.
"Not all of them will be interested," Beleth admits, not wanting Myr to get the idea that she thinks this will be any kind of easy goal. "There will always be some who will never be convinced, who will never admit that city elves could be part of us. But they are short-sighted fools, who have forgotten the very mission of the Dalish." Her words are laced with derision, and in this, at least, she's openly judgmental.
"There will also be plenty that are initially opposed, but can be convinced. It will just take time, and persuasive speech. They aren't short-sighted, they're just cautious, and when they see that this isn't a fool's errand, they're agree." She nods firmly. "I know that the picture I'm painting won't be easy. It'll take a lot of effort, and a lot of time. Maybe more than I have. But that doesn't mean I should just...not do it. Establishing a foundation is just as important as the rest of it will be."
She pauses, then gives a dry laugh. "I'm sorry, I--I don't talk about this a lot, so when I do, I tend to...go on. And on. But I'm glad that you're on board, Myr. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that I'm not...trying to be rude. Or convert you."
