"And your mages have had no uprisings then?" What she has heard of Tevinter outside of books that look old even to an outsider with their cracked bindings and thin pages would fill a thimble. Better to confirm it and make certain of just how different it must be from where she finds herself now, a place where freedom comes at such a premium.
Of course all this means seeking out some loyalists, she's too good at her job to not have as full a picture as possible. But a change of subject is welcome, especially when it's Korrin.
"According to her she was never Qunari, not when it means their religion." That's all she'll say on the matter when it's Korrin's business though she never made much of a secret of it; Araceli wanted to get the terms right from the start so as not to offend, so lapsed doesn't sound quite right to her. "A long joke, we have the same sort." That's familiar enough too, though there is always a pirate or a whore, usually both and a merchant, and the pirate and whore are the ones who come out the winner because the merchant is a greedy man, the kind that never prosper.
In this case, the pirate is also the priest, at least when it's a Castilean telling the joke, because that much must always be assumed.
"The way you speak about the Maker is far less dour than here in the south, I much prefer your idea of sinning." Others might not but lives are to be lived with passion. Giving a roll of her eyes in return, she takes a drink before she replies. "There are few who speak so kindly and openly to us rifters of our homes without saying that it must be very strange for us here, and given people seem to have a certain belief about Antivans, the 'compliments' I receive in passing in the tavern are less than flattering."
