The question confused Bethany for a moment, before she turned thoughtful. "Well, I suppose a bit," she conceded. "Father always witty, and he did have a knack for being entertaining. Probably helped him be seen as less of a threat and more likely to be let out of the Circle." Merrill's question, innocent as it may have been, did put a bit of a spin on what she'd always thought of as a rather adorable meet-cute.
"Do you mind if I ask what it's like being a mage among the Dalish? It seems you're very well respected." The Dalish had a very different approach to things, and Bethany simply didn't know a lot about it. She was curious though - it was hard to imagine magic not being considered a curse, something to be watched and feared. Oh sure, she knew it was the opposite in Tevinter, but nothing about Tevinter ever sounded good.
