Don't worry, Hermione, it's not personal. Emma struggles even admitting upsetting things to herself, when it comes to other people her track record is even worse. She's more likely to tell her boyfriend than she is her parents, and that's because she suspects she's not going to get any judgement from him. She's experienced first hand, multiple times, that's not the reception she gets from her parents. Maybe that's the problem with being the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming — there's no way to measure up to the standard they'd left behind.

"That's got to be hard, not to have it," Emma frowned. She had used a wand a grand total of once, so her magic wasn't really predicated on it. If that was what Hermione was used to, it had to take a lot of dedication to circumvent the way she had learned. Dedication, and bravery; what if something went wrong?

At the offer, Emma is quite conflicted. Being open about the fact she has magic does not seem like a good idea to her, not when it's discouraged in the natives and she's not exactly welcome in Skyhold just being a Rifter. That said, it would be good to have an ear to the ground, and an understanding of how others were able to manipulate their magic in a new world. Maybe it could help her manage her control a little better. "I don't like everyone to know, not with things the way they are." She doesn't regret that decision, either. "But if we can find a way to be careful, that might help."
