[Open] Diplomacy: The Art Of Restraining Power

[sunshinethroughgrey]

WHO: Bethany Hawke and You
WHAT: After Bethany speaks to the Inquisition., she opens a public forum
WHEN: A week after the announcement about Anders, before they return to the Western Approach
WHERE: Camp Shady, aka the Warden Camp outside Skyhold
NOTES:Probable cursing, possible violence, and a whole lot of being reasonable and dimples.

True to her word in her sending crystal message, Bethany placed herself outside of the Warden camp with a table, and a chair on either side, to discuss 'formal complaints' against the Wardens for what occurred with the 'Anders' situation. Those who approach will find her calmly sitting there, knitting needles in hand, as she works and waits for people to arrive. Once they call her attention, or sit in the chair, she puts the knitting aside and opens the dialogue.

Her entire body language screams serenity, and calm. Whatever happens, happens. She's here to help her brothers and sisters, in one of the ways she knows how. By being extremely kind, and a good listener.

"It will be something more for him to consider, with all future actions. It will be a reminder that what he did, did not just affect mages. It affected everyone around Kirkwall who had nothing to do with how the mages were being treated." She looked at Alejandro, her brown eyes quiet, "It is very easy to miss the trees, just to take in the scope of the forest."

A sigh, as she looks off. "That's something my father always taught us. Take responsibility for our actions. Whatever they might be."

"Well, too bad Anders didn't know him, because that's some solid advice."

For a moment, he's quiet as he digests the entire conversation he's just had with Bethany. Frankly, it wasn't a topic he'd been thrilled to go over with anyone; he hasn't decided how to tell Zevran about Noah yet, not that the two of them knew each other well but it's worth mentioning.

Talking about it now, he doesn't know if it's helped, but at least someone's listened. He's still angry about the decision made for Anders, but Bethany seems intent to ensure that it is a responsibility that they aren't taking lightly.

"Thank you. For takin' the time to hear me out."

"I think it's a shame that no-one outside my family got to know my father."

Bethany stated quietly, before she looked up at Alejandro again with a quietly intent look.

"Thank you for coming to speak to me about your concerns. Please, let everyone else know they can feel free to speak with me."
