She really likes her analogies, doesn't she? She manages to lose Beleth once or twice in all of it--maybe if she knew a little bit more about groups of musicians, rather than being a lone bard. But Beleth knows how to look interested when she doesn't understand something, and nods along at what seems to be appropriate moments.

Except now she has to acknowledge what Herian has said--well, the last part seemed easy enough to understand, and there's plenty to say on it. "I agree, I don't think that honor nor responsibility will get people to go along with our plans. I suspect, however, that there is one thing that will. One thing that's gotten groups across Thedas to work together before."

She makes a small gesture to the area around her, a dry smile on her face. "Self-preservation. Make it clear that Corypheus is a threat to all of us. He's already done half the work for us in Nevarra, with his stunt in Perendale. I just hope that we can be convincing without more demonstrations that get innocent people hurt."
