Whether she really has held her tongue as well as others, is certainly up for debate. But she tries, however well or not, she does try.
But - there is a limit even to that, and she gives them a faintly incredulous look to Wren. "If you take it off me regardless, I will die, that isn't a choice I am making, Commander. You can't keep me like a suckling lamb, mewling at your feet. I will die, maybe slowly by weeks, or I don't, that is it." And she laughs sharply, bitterly - all vile things she's done her best keeping inside her mouth. "As for who it should be discussed by. You are who it should be discussed by least of all. It should be discussed by every damn ruler in Thedas, not one outsider group who is only half recognised by every one it meets. I came to you in good will, yes, later than I should, I admit my mistakes, but don't pretend you're doing anything less than I just did when I only sort an audience amongst many different groups as fairly as I could because it never should have been one group's discussion. If someone isn't here and they should be, by all means, invite them, it's only my lack of knowledge and personal contact with them that I did not extend them the invitation and I am glad to rectify it. So call for them, please, we can wait." Fixes, sharp and mean. It's comforting to not bother with the politics of it a moment. " - However, before you become horrified with telling everyone - " wait for it " - I also recognise your governments are corrupt, both internally and externally, as much by Corypheus as their own selfish, piteous moaning and there is no government to fall on my knees too except a bunch of stuck up, self-righteous, boot-licking noble whores or disingenuous religious fanatics."
Tell us what you really feel, Lakshmi.
And she likes Herian, and she sees her point well enough, but that makes her round up and bite more surely than anything else. "How dare you assume it has anything to do with how the Inquisition looks? Why does my faith mean less than yours? This is how death is found honourably for my people, these are the tenets by which I have lived all my life by. I am a daughter of Brahmins, and whilst that means nothing to you - it means as much to me as Andraste to the Chantry. Fire for us is the way to cleanse the soul to prepare for the next life. If my act of devotion makes you look like tyrants, perhaps you should consider how you run the Inquisition."
