"Oh, well he's not visiting anymore. He's a Warden now." She draws in a breath, about to explain, but then hesitates because she doesn't know how common the knowledge is that Felix was dying and now he suddenly isn't.

But that doesn't mean she won't say anymore. So far, she's really only revealed some of what she feels to Sabriel. She's been holding all this close to the chest, because she's an elf and he's of Tevinter. What will her clan think? Add in the fact that she worries her romantic nature is making her rush ahead again, like she did when she was seventeen, and that ended with her heart broken. She wants to be smarter this time, but her heart isn't listening. Maybe talking to Mia will help. The woman is so sensible and straight-forward that she would be able to tell Ellana if she's rushing ahead.

"He's so very kind," she begins. "Giving, selfless, brave. He doesn't hold the same views on elves as his country does. He believes in me, even when I don't believe in myself." She recalls him asking if she would join the Mage Council and gently encouraging her when she worried she wouldn't be any good at it. "I-- I like him very much." It feels good to say it, and she exhales a soft breath of relief. "I'm... I worry I'm too much of a romantic, and feeling things too fast. Do you think it's possible I might be?"
