Simon,

[ count one, two, three, ]

I need you to listen to me, and to listen well.

That fury you feel now, it would be shared by every templar in the Inquisition. Every knight we need yet court in Kirkwall. How many do you believe would join with us after such a thing? How many would stay?

It is not in the Inquisition's interest to execute him. They yet need us. What they do not need is the appearance of old trouble brewing on the Viscount's doorstep.

Darton has power, but not so much of it as he thinks, not so far from the Lady Seeker as we are. The context about him has shifted, and he is slow to adapt. We need be faster. We need tread carefully, and we need to consider appearances, because that is the axis of pragmatism upon which our presence here turns.

And therefore, I need you to hear me when I tell you, that what Harriman did cannot happen again.
