Well, it's a shard, yes? A part of a whole.

[ He's seen a few, over the years. Studied it when it was whole, even, lodged in Evelyn's hand, and when Solas wasn't looking. Not that his research took him very far, but the sight is familiar regardless, acknowledging it with a glance. ]

[altusimperius]

I suppose so.

[He flexes his fingers over it, then withdraws his hand.]

It was no secret that the Rifters are here. That we collect them, and the others from Thedas who have shards.

[He purses his lips, his eyes going distant.]

...I just. Shouldn't have confirmed it.

[ Dorian smiles at him. It's not a particularly nice smile, save for in a strictly aesthetic sense. ]

If wishes were sovereigns.

[altusimperius]

We'd all be millionaires.

[Said grimly, but with a smirk in return.]

So, that's that.

[liberalum]

Is it?

[ Page flip. ]

Perhaps so. Perhaps if you allow it to be.

[altusimperius]

I can't undo what's been done, much as I might wish it.

[He looks up.]

...but I have a future. One I don't intend to squander.

[liberalum]

The future's no guarantee at all, you'll find. The present moment tends to make all the difference.

So when I ask you if you're a spy or a turncoat, you'll say--

[altusimperius]

I'm not.
