Maker's Breath. I don't even know why I'm surprised.
[With the Chantry all situated in Orlais, Alistair's actually surprised more Divines aren't murdered, if he's honest.]
And I'm guessing that this Conclave thing has to do with the fighting between the mages and templar order, right? I offered the mages Redcliffe as a base after the Circles fell?
[He runs a hand over his face, trying to process it all.]
[ There is a remarkable lack of murder in the South among its rulers. There's not a party in Tevinter that isn't interrupted somewhat by either a murder or an attempt. ]

Other people's idea of manners.]
I can't... And you're certain? Of course you're certain. This isn't a joking matter, right? Sweet Andraste's left foot, this is... I can't... Mages in Redcliffe and a Magister.

[If Dorian thought Alistair's brain might explode before, it's nothing like it is now. His head is swimming and he feels like he can't breathe.]
Magisters in Redcliffe...

[ He waves a hand in dismissal. Honestly, they act as if no one has ever been assassinated before. ]
Correction. One Magister in Redcliffe, and he was dealt with.
