"Believe me, I'm well aware of what I am." Inessa manages a wry smile, since practically everywhere she goes, she is never allowed to forget that she is a Warden, elf or mage. Though for the most part, she doesn't want to; there's no shame in being any of those things, whatever common folk might think. However, standing out can become tiring when it colors every interaction she has in the world outside the Circle. Sometimes, she would just like to buy a drink and leave it at that. "I have heard about King Markus, yes. Do you believe that Inquisition intervention on the level of the Winter Palace will be on the horizon?" That is a thought she doesn't personally relish, but if Inquisition leadership believes it necessary, her own opinion will not matter.

Inessa raises her eyebrows at mention of Gwenaelle's impressive gift, not expecting to match that. Still, that doesn't mean Kieran can't have more dragons for his playtime. Considering the question, Inessa shrugs a little. "I might purchase one for Kain, he is far more interested in dragons than I. For myself, an exotic tea blend and some books unavailable elsewhere would be more my style." She pauses, about to ask something but the shouting is more insistent and the angry mutters of the crowd are hardly promising.
