Morrigan works long hours; she lived her research for years in a way most can't, most won't but settling a boy Kieran's age after lifting him out of a comfortable year and more in Skyhold now into Kirkwall takes more planning than people realise. The careful lie, for instance, for those not part of the Inquisition. A precarious household of Gwenaëlle's making, the lady herself, Thranduil, Kieran, Alistair and Ser Coupe invited guests along with whatever else, Morrigan's standing invitation of course but this is Kirkwall not Orlais, Morrigan does not have quite the same shields she had previously.

Orlais did not settle in Sundermount's shadow where her mother took flight again, stretched her wings wide and went hunting. Morrigan knows the truth in that part of the tale, and people don't know that fear. They will never understand waiting for Flemeth to reach out her hand and grab her and Kieran both by the hair in the black night.

"I have made arrangements for the eluvians currently present in Skyhold; I was one of the last to walk beneath the gates. Until such times as Kirkwall can be deemed suitable for such things, they should remain there, after all, I recall the getting of the eluvian from Kirkwall to Skyhold." Not a pleasant undertaking by any stretch of the imagination so if Pel wishes to talk of work and business then let them talk of it. "There are other matters not entirely related to the Inquisition precisely but should they bear fruit, the Inquisition will learn of them. I have a need to go to Sundermount."
