She winces, just a little. Beleth can divert conversation without other people even realizing she's doing it, but even when she's feeling great, Merrick is a hard person to distract. He has so much focus and intensity--Traits that Beleth usually finds admirable. Right now, she'd rather discuss dragons.

The last thing she wants is for Merrick to start some kind of blood feud between the Dalish and the Templars.

"It's not a big deal, Merrick. It's just--I fell off some of that stupid scaffolding. The stuff that doesn't have any railings." But the excuse sounds lame even to her. She can't make herself look him in the eye, either, glancing down and to the side instead. "It was just...a stupid accident."
