It'll be nice to get cleared to go back to coffee or standard teas, instead of various herbs and lawn clippings. The meetings seem to do better than breakfast, but I think some of that is due to Mr. Kenway's excellent baked goods. Perhaps I should try something with a bit more sugar and carbs before aiming for something healthy?

Master Ffamran is supposed to be arriving soon, along with a group of other people. From the sound of it, he's accompanied by a Balthier who is also heavily injured. I was worried about the Bunansa siblings, since their father showed signs of madness. He talked to thin air, and grew more and more fixated on deifacted nethicite and his own invention of manufactured nethicite.

The fact that he forced his children into the army far too young - that is not uncommon, but it was worrying.

And some convictions are not for you, though you do not stop others from holding them. An urchin on the streets fears things I have not had to fear in years, and would gladly do things to survive that I would say should not happen.

And yet, it is not their fault to be cold and hungry.

You're a good man, Master Dorian. It is not easy to weigh your own heart and decide that it may be wanting in things. If Tevinter ate their own as easily as you say, it must not be easy to casually say you'd like someone to flatter you.

Ah another good point. I have seen so many elves so badly treated that it seems so different from how some of the people in Tevinter treat their slaves, for instance. Neither way is right, but I would have once argued that the first was by far worse, condemning them to live in slums and such,and also that is not their fault.

Oh you would be surprised what you must do there to survive, what of yourself you lock away. But...thank you. That is surprisingly comforting to hear.

It is odd, isn't it, when you discover something which you've rationalized to normal.

For example, in the Archadian army, medical care was fast and - impersonal. I did not know the names of half the people that crossed my path, and probably could've had a complaint every single time. I was a terrible patient.

And yet, I said it was fine, because they had to move quickly and triage things as efficiently as possible. Here, I've had medical care that was just as fast, but entirely different.
