Figuring out how to permanently strengthen the veil to prevent further tears, who and what rifters are, and how to prevent the anchors from eventually killing those who have them are all high priorities. Kirkwall's particularly thin Veil makes it a good—if slightly dangerous—testing ground for many of these efforts.

He can't run with it, he's under constant guard. [A light, mirthless laugh.] Sometimes we have to be uncomfortable to get the results we're looking for. And I'm willing to take the risk. I don't expect anyone else to, but it would be nice to have your permission.

[wontforgetyou]

Maybe so, but that's not exactly stopped the Venatori before. Give him half a chance and he'll be taking advantage before you know it. Or more than that, even.

If he does that, it'd be more than a risk you're taking. It's no something that's only uncomfortable, Sina. And I'd know.

[eolasemah]

[A hitched breath and a pause.]

...apologies, Jamie, I wasn't thinking. [It wasn't so very long ago, and she was lucky enough to not be part of that contingent.]

[wontforgetyou]

[There's a pause on his end, too, long enough for him to take a deep breath or two. He's upset, but it's Sina, and he doesn't want to be upset at her.]

Look, don't apologize. It's no like any of us had a choice there. Just- why? Why do it?

[eolasemah]

[A long pause, as Sina deliberates. Tell him? Or let him operate as her other friends do, under the ignorance of her condition, to maintain normalcy as long as she can?]

...I.... I just want it gone.

[wontforgetyou]

Aye. I see.

[Given where her shard is, he does understand wanting it gone, but he doesn't think that trusting a Venatori's a good idea. At all. Still, it's her life, and her choice, and he's got to respect that - even if he doesn't entirely agree with what she's doing.]

Hope I'm wrong and this'll work for you, Sina, but- promise me you'll be as careful as you can? I don't trust him one bit.

[eolasemah]

I promise. Because... I don't either.
