"No, ma'am." Kitty shakes her head as she drags the cards closer to herself. She spends a few moments shuffling, practicing according to what Leliana showed her. Just enough time to think.
Is this a good idea? It means revealing a bit too much of herself, perhaps. Kitty is a wanted woman - far away, yes, but still wanted. More, she's a woman with an agenda that's not going to be popular, because everyone is going to think there are higher priorities; as soon as she speaks honestly about what she thinks the Inquisition ought to be doing, people are going to become aware of what she'll be pushing them to do subtly. And subtlety is - advantageous, sometimes. It's advantageous for people not to know what you want of them.
But...she wants to help. Especially now. When things are dire.
She sets the cards down and takes a long draught of the wine. It's warming, and steadies her a little bit. Gives her enough courage to ask, "How...do you find your spies?"
