You can think anything you like. You can even say it out loud, to whomever you want. Nobody's going to shut it down around here. [The Inquisition doesn't forbid us from talking without armed sentries, or disband our discussion groups outright, he doesn't say. But he doesn't think he needs to.
His eyebrows arch to his hairline when Myr, for once, is the one to make a too-soon sort of a joke, but he doesn't comment--he knows it'll be taken back, or something like, quickly enough.
He hasn't spoken to Anders, at least not in any capacity he can remember well. Myr honestly knows the man considerably better. But--he'll believe that, even from a loyalist's perspective.]
I told you it was bad in Kirkwall. [It's not a moment for 'I told you so,' but for Vandelin, every moment is an 'I told you so' moment. Still, he doesn't mean it like that, not exactly.]
Look. If there's one thing the rebellion's given us--one thing even you have to admit--it's the chance to talk to people from other Circles without interference. We've all been shaped by our own, but--they weren't all the Gallows, so tell people that if you want. Tell them what Hasmal was like for you. Tell him that, if it's not just going to upset you more. He might not listen, but who knows. Someone will.
