No, it's— Well, I suppose there is some similarity. Only, I chose it. I wasn't meant to have been apprenticed at all, you see. I picked it.

[Not the assignment, or how dreadful her company had been maybe. But still. They're circumstances which she herself designed.]

It's not like an ordinary apprenticeship or even like the Circles here, and Kalvad is very different from Orlais— It would be dishonest, [she resolves, as if it's only just occurred to her given how closely they've hewn to the subject] To pretend otherwise only for the sake of talking about it.

[Abruptly, and more honestly still:]

I don't wish to talk about it.
