“The Arishok. They’ll turn a blind eye to Tal-Vashoth out of expediency, but one bearing the marks of saarebas? The Qun demands that they act. He’ll have been told.”

“Don’t need to Sparkler,” Varric said softly, “he’s here in Denerim.” He tossed a coin to the girl who ran off with a big smile on her face clutching her reward.

“Would you keep your voices down,” Cassandra growled at them. “You draw too much attention. We should go back to the palace. Inquisitor?”

Eluned gave herself a mental shake; she needed to keep her wits about her and not fall to pieces as much as she wanted to. Rethala’s life depended on it. She nodded. “Yes, I’m fine. Let’s go back.”

“What about the Venatori? Won’t our presence there tip them off?”
