Leliana makes a mental note of the instruction, and as the scout eases himself up to go leave, she adds, "Report to me after you take the mixture this evening." A dismissal and a reminder, masking her concern and her inherent need to check on her scouts, make sure they are all right. If they are hurt in service to the Inquisition, that is on her shoulders.

"I hoped to speak with you more generally," Leliana replies, after a bit of a pause, turning matters over and examining them from each side, as is so much her habit, waiting until her scout is gone before she continues. "You have done much to aid our people since you arrived, I hear. You and Adelaide both."

It sounds pleasant enough, complimentary and grateful, and perhaps it is. Perhaps this is just a friendly acknowledgement from the spymaster, for looking after her people. "Have you worked as a healer long?"
