[Cassandra shakes her head a little.]

I can only explain the world from my perspective.

[killedwithlove]

Yes. And I understand that perspective better that I do Varric's.

[openhands]

[Surprisex2. You'd think Cassandra would be used to people placing value in her opinions and perspectives without questioning it, but she's still really not. But that's not a bad thing, she supposes. It'd be arrogant to assume others should take her opinions without question.]

Then I'm glad to do what I can to help you understand, Cole.

[Cassandra sees the world is simple, yet complex ways, like a spirit might. She's a little bit Faith and he's human enough to learn and change and her explanations match that.]

I knew Faith once. Twice, now. I'm not powerful like Faith. If I was, I could've saved Cole, but there was no Faith there.

You'll be a good Lord Seeker.

[openhands]

That...

[...wasn't something Cassandra really considered for herself.]

[She has every intention of helping the Seekers rebuild, of making the secrets that had been previously kept from them and from others known in due time. But that's not assuming command. And she's never been one to take the lead. She carves out a path for others, but she is simply making way for others. That's a very different set of skills.]

[killedwithlove]

[He looks at her, blinking and tilting his head in that bird like fashion.]

Seekers don't need supervision. Just someone to look up to, a role model to show them what they should aim to be. You can do that for them.

[openhands]

I suppose it's...simply not something I had considered before. Thank you, Cole.

[killedwithlove]

What for?

I don't want someone like Lambert having that power. We know what happens with bad leaders. We've lived it.

[openhands]

It's still a kind thing to say.

[Regardless of intention or reasoning.]

[killedwithlove]

All right.

[There's a small pause while he thinks and settles on a reply.]

You're welcome.
