The Shadow decided not to take her up on her offer, instead pursuing her own line of questioning. At the mention of Solas, Vela's features immediately hardened, her jaw clenching as she took a slight step back and looked out into the darkness.A lot of things about what happened with Sol-... Fen'Harel bother me.Her words came out sharp, the hurt of all that had happened and not happened between them simmering below the surface. But she was not about to discuss her complex feelings for the man that had brought down the veil with a complete stranger.
There was a silence between them again and Vela swallowed down the lump in her throat, and her next words were said with less hurt as she composed herself and looked back to the Shadow.We both wanted this. We just... wanted to get here in different ways.She shrugged and held the base of her severed arm. It was aching again.What's done is done.She was just glad that it had not been as catastrophic as they had once feared. And if she'd known, if she'd been there to help...
No. There was no point in languishing in what-if scenarios. She'd learned that a long time ago.
