Cyril sighs in a shaky way and nods. He will prepare himself to do this for Pel. She needs to be protected.

"What else do we need to know?"

He takes a slow breath, going over the mental checklist: don't trust what you see, don't kill Pel, oh.

"Accept no deals. I've seen a couple of non-mages accept deals in the Fade and they did not wake up damaged, but I've also seen possessed templars. There is no guarantee that someone who isn't a mage can walk away without being harmed. Some of you have never endured demons before; remember that even if they could give you whatever they're promising, would it be worth your twisted form attacking the people you care about here? Because you will likely die and considering how many people will be asleep in this room and vulnerable..."

He figures they can all finish that thought by themselves, and that it will have more impact like that as well.

"If something seems too easy, it likely is. Be wary at all times." He presses his lips together, trying to think of anything else. "And don't die. Nothing else comes to mind."

All of this is nothing new to a mage--but one part, which Myr files quietly away along with all the sick dread it brings with it. Make her Tranquil. Maker forfend.

But better not to ask about it. "Don't think there's anything we could add to that," which is a gentle half-truth, but now's not the time for theology, "unless Saoirse and Sorrel have something else. If you've the lyrium ready, Warden Anders--"

Best to get this done.

He nods, face a little paler than usual as he gathers the vials up and starts handing them out one by one to each person.

"You'll want to be in position before taking this. It's fast-acting." The nervousness he feels, sending a group into the Fade that has friends in it, to try to save another friend, makes him wish there was so much more to say. "I know some of you already know that."

Of course, saying more edges into babbling territory, and Anders takes a breath and stops himself from saying anything else obvious.

"Good luck." Bring her back goes unsaid; that's what they're here to do.
