open; with or without your approval
WHO: Cassandra Pentaghast and you
WHAT: Cassandra, in and around Skyhold
WHEN: First half of Drakonis, before the ball
WHERE: Various
NOTES: Does your character want to yell at Cassandra about Anders? About Galadriel? About her choices in general? Alternatively, do they want to celebrate her on a job well done and thank her for her vigilance in keeping Skyhold safe? Maybe try to finally get a straight answer about exactly what is going on? This is the place!
For timeline purposes: post-Anders announcement; before/in the midst of/after rifter interrogations; either pre-Galadriel's imprisonment or while she still languishes in the cells.

She might be found swinging angrily at the dummies in the yard, assisting Cullen in training what recruits they have, or nursing a large ale at the Herald's Rest. More than likely, she's dodging Vivienne and her endless preparations, instructions, and reminders for the ball. Wherever she is, Cassandra is likely not in the best of moods, and there is a certain righteous fire in her gaze whenever she is challenged. Leliana's words and the way she had looked at Cassandra still sting, but she does not regret what she has done.
Still, no one can possibly be angry all the time, right? Maybe you'll catch her on a good day...
no subject
oh no you di'int"Is that so?" Cassandra's temper, always short, is quickly reaching its end. "You suggest that I imprisoned her because she displeased me, you claim that trusting me would kill you all as surely as the Lord Seeker has. You compare my words to those spoken by rogue templars in the Spire - such templars as I have helped suppress. If these are not baseless accusations, I do not know what would be."
She shakes her head, stepping closer. "I am the Right Hand of the Divine, and a Seeker of Truth. I do not answer to you and I never have. Would you have me submit my every decision to you - to your Council?" She cannot quite keep the disdain from her voice. "Galadriel has been imprisoned because to let her walk free would put all of us at risk. She has not been harmed. She has not been made Tranquil. I have killed apostates with no announcement and no explanation - apostates that posed far less danger than Galadriel. And I have done it, always, to keep the people of Thedas safe. Who are you to question me?"
