A short request regarding the eluvian. As the only two in Skyhold who definitively know a great deal about them, I would prefer if knowledge of being able to enter them remained between ourselves for the moment. After my own fell into the hands of the enemy, and with Skyhold being such a large place where not all loyalties can be known, to keep such knowledge safely guarded is the most sensible course of action until it must be known. I am sure you can imagine the possible panic that might spread if such news became common knowledge - you could hardly have missed Beleth Ashara's shouting when she became aware of what it was we were rescuing, after all.
The advisors are aware that it is of great value, and all should know that our enemy was of Tevinter once, so it would be no surprise that he wishes to have something that came from the elves once.
[ It takes a bit longer than perhaps expected for the note to return, but that's probably because Merrill went through several drafts before finally settling on one that sounds professional. ]
Morrigan,
My Clan drove me out for wanting to restore one, all out of fear; I completely understand. While it will cause some discomfort for me to hold it back from my kin, we simply don't know where any other eluvians may be and who might have them, and who might then pop out among us. My own is in Kirkwall, should you ever need to make a trip or a hasty escape. It's safely locked up in the Hawke estate.
When you have time, I'd like to speak to you about what my clanmate saw when he discovered the eluvian I worked on. Considering it was tainted at the time, I think there are some implications there that might be concerning, especially as no one ever found his body afterward.
Whenever you are available, I would very much like to speak with you in person. Perhaps I have seen your eluvian through my own though given the trouble in Kirkwall, I would prefer to avoid it even now, though I thank you for the generosity.
My study is always open, and I can take you to where the eluvian is housed within Skyhold so we make speak privately too. One does not know who may be listening after all.
