[ Nell laughs, low. It doesn't take a second to connect the subjects, to see were Wren is looking. That would be... fucking bold, to say the least. She thinks about it for a long silent moment, letting it hang in the air between them as she examines it from all sides. ]

I would not see him return to power.
[ in part, because he's shown too much weakness. if they need to support another archon, they'll do better for a different face. ]
There, you have me. I was hiding amid the Antivan cargo through the entire discussion.
[ an oubliette might be traded for a guillotine. his head's too good a gift to sink to the bottom of the sea. skyhold might prove willing of that, too. ]
