[ He hums. Later he might feel bad that working through his has made him stop thinking about Gareth, but at the moment it's, you know, made him stop thinking about Gareth. ]
The people who would take issue with it—some Resolutionists. Libertarians who already disliked you personally. I do not think it would become a real issue unless someone wanted to argue you should not be trusted, and if there are rumors or denials it could easily be worse. If you do not hide it, you can explain why. Mage freedom is not the freedom to stand on the backs of slaves and the poor. The Aequitarians would like that.
Yeah. Those who honestly think it's wrong are probably either too cozy with Tevinter and exactly the kind of problem me doing this will help counter, or those with weak stomachs for everything else we do anyway. I doubt it will make any real difference in terms of Skyhold's assessment of me, and anyway their opinion hasn't seemed to have any real impact so far anyway. But if I tell Coupe not to tell them it will look like I'm hiding it and make her think it's leverage she can use.

[ The end of the world suddenly becomes imminent, but don't worry, he's going to avert it: ]
Short of making us all phylacteries, [ he adds, like self-deprecating small print, ] and giving them to the Chantry.
