"It doesn't seem like enough," she admitted.

At this point, she'd grown accustomed to the way he seemed to read her mind. The Elves back home would find it intrusive, but it was saving them time, she supposed. She couldn't keep her secret from everyone. And as long as someone knew, he might as well know it all.

"I have talents that I could put to use back home," she continued. "Like...if someone wanted something, but someone else had it, I could go and find it and give it to them."

"Silent and stealthy. A hand in his pocket, and you slip out like a shadow. He never saw." That was certainly a skill that could be put to use in the Inquisition.

"You should talk to the Nightingale."

She appreciated not being called a thief. That was always people's first reactions. But it simply wasn't true.

Thieves had bad intentions. She never did.

She tilted her head to one side. "Who's that?"

"The Lady Leliana. Spymaster. She knew the Herald. She won't be afraid."

Ariadne could deal with people being afraid of her. If necessary. It wasn't something she'd go out of her way to deal with, but she knew how.

There was a more pressing matter. "Is she a good person?"

"The Left Hand lives in the darkness, but she still likes to sing." Leliana did what she must given her position, but she was kind, warmhearted, never with ill intentions. Ariadne might get that from what he said.

Cole was decidedly a curious puzzle. One she very much wanted to solve. But that could wait. She had a feeling he would be around. There was no need to rush into that.

She nodded slightly, offering him a small smile. "I'll have to meet her, then." No point in letting her skills go to waste.
