[Jove doesn't try to argue any of that, because it's all true enough. Solas is a strange elf, having none of the characteristics of a city elf and for the most part filled with disdain for her own people, so it would make sense that people who hadn't spent a lot of time around him would think he was a little off.

And really, many of the people who had spent plenty of time with him still thought he was odd.]

Solas spent much of his time wandering to explore the Fade. He's seen things of the past that the Dalish have gotten wrong, so he faults us for clinging to false knowledge even while he praises us for trying. He's a bit of a conundrum at times.

[She says all that, but there's still a note of respect to her tone. There usually is when she speaks of people she cares for, but it's a little more pronounced when it comes to Solas. She's always thought highly of him, ever since it became clear what a wonderful source of knowledge he was.]
