She's relieved there is no reciprocation, in some way. Comfort is not her area of expertise, and physical contact is better reserved for those of close acquaintance. Generally, contact comes hand in hand with conflict, and she better reacts to it when it comes in the shape of sparring or battle.

"Very well." And so they move to the boat over the moody slate of the water.

She takes a moment to reply, briefly wondering if he means the recent trip there, and then realising that probably makes little sense.

"A number of the Starkhaven mages were sent to Kirkwall. I had a relative already in that Circle, and across the Circles of the Free Marches, so I was sent to the White Spire." Val Royeaux was very far from home.

"Orlais," Was it quite different? He knows the answer to that already, can at least extrapolate from his own years — "We'd a Senior Enchanter Amsel, of Hasmal. I'd not wanted to presume."

He knows the mechanics of elven blood well as anyone; even so.

"I don't believe she accompanied the Inquisition," But he'd been later to depart, and they'd never been close. "Was it your first such journey?"

"A cousin to a great aunt, on my father's side, I think." Honestly, it was hard to place, to find how things fitted together when you were taken from your family so very young. Many things are forgotten, and there is no one able to remind you. She wondered, at times, if that might be better - not be reminded, not to feel.

"Myrobalan said she did not. Apparently she wanted to explore Thedas, a little." She's not sure if she approves of an old woman going off alone, or if she applauds it, or if she is upset that she didn't consider duty and attend the Inquisition, or if she's simply upset that she isn't here so that Herian could meet her. She is finding herself more and more aware of selfishness in herself that seems without end.

"From Starkhaven to Val Royeaux? Yes. I had... only once left Starkhaven, before. It was not nearly so far a journey."
