I suppose I...don't have much faith in them. That much is true. There was a moment in there that I remember where I agreed with Yseult, and she looked at me like I'd declared that I was the second coming of Andraste. I do wonder if - perhaps I've been too skeptical. If it seems so unlikely that I'd call an idea good when it's good.
[ Though - and this is directed at Bastien, an accusation because he the one who likes her for Maker's sake - ] In my defense, though, I still don't bloody know who she works for. She won't tell me. It makes her damn hard to trust when I don't know what other agendas she has. At least Flint is open about his allegiances.
