Leliana opted to return to Skyhold following her brief and delightful sojourn in the Fade. Some reasons were practical; she had overseen matters in the Approach, and there was much work to be done.
Others were perhaps less practical, and she lingers outside the door to Morrigan's territory (there was no more apt word for it) before knocking. "It's Leliana," she adds after a beat of silence, as if to prove that she should be allowed in and not ignored, voice clear and steady and sounding extremely businesslike, for the benefit of anyone else.
(There is no one else, and yet she does it anyway.)
