This is not the first (nor likely the last) time that Vivienne has sat through an angry Dalish tantrum. Sometimes she does wonder if it's something they are taught at their mother's breast, or if the milk is simply laced with fury. The Iron Lady has very little patience or tolerance for such outbursts. She herself has found her whole life forced into a system with a history of abusing the occupants; she has chosen to rise above it and carve her own place in the world. It is a place of dignity and respect, hard won, and she doesn't care to have it tarnished by cries of oppression by a people who seem unwilling to improve their lot themselves.
But in all that rant, she merely watches, silently judging with an impassive expression to mask her inner thoughts. By the end, the little protector seems to have adequately chastised and deflated herself.
"My dear, I do hope you realize that outburst is hardly productive and does nothing to improve the poor state of your clanmate." Yes, she's scolding the elf with some cool disdain. For personal bad behavior, and not being an elf. She's not going to justify herself in regards to providing gainful employment to her servants either. They lead better lives in her home than roaming the countryside scrabbling for food and shelter.
Moving on to the pertinent issue at hand. "I presume the healers have been to see her. What have they to say of her condition? And does anyone know what happened?" Because knowledge of what caused this might hold the answers for a cure.
