Mentioning Alayre's name does Araceli no favors. Cassandra snorts in disgust, rolling her eyes. If there is anyone less qualified to judge what is reasonable and what is not -
Her disdain nearly prevents her from noticing the uncertain waver in the girl's voice. Cassandra glances to her, frowning thoughtfully.
"You are in no danger here," she tells her, in her best attempt at reassurance. As much as she hates to admit it, Araceli has a point. The Inquisition soldiers she had assigned to track down and bring back the rifters are hardly the comforting sort. And while intimidation is a great help in many aspects of her work, she had never wanted to frighten innocents.
She sighs, leaning back so that her posture is a little less threatening. "You are here because you have come through the rifts, and because the Inquisition must know what sort of people now live and fight alongside us. If you are truthful and swear to do us no harm, you will have nothing to fear."
