He's like a child, Hanzo thinks. He had been something similar when he had been very young; filling shoes that were not quite ready for him, trying to be bigger, better, with a bold face and the emotionless expression to go with it. It's a difficult situation to manage, but Hanzo is now the one who is going to have to do it. With tensions rising across the country and people from Tevinter moving around... It's important that he figures this out as soon as he can.

"Do you trust me to handle this?" He lifts his head, looking over at Benedict. "You want nothing to do with this. Your mother expects... Whatever she expects. She knows my name but is aware that I am in no position to do anything when it comes t our home." He shakes his head. "I will fix this on your behalf. Do you trust me to do that?" If this gets out and too much comes out... Benedict will not be the only one to suffer. Hanzo had been on that trip as well, left unharmed for it. Blame will be pinned to him just as easily.
