Was it his job to be diplomatic, sure. Was it his job to intervene in another clan's disputes with the shemlens, not really. Had the Shemlens struck first or had they been Orlesians, Taegen probably would have stepped in to offer assistance, but as it stood it was the elves that had struck first and there was a part of him that couldn't argue with the women's perspective on the fact that Dalish didn't settle, so what claim did these Dalish really claim to have on the forest. What were they trying to do with the land that had the shemlens all bent out of shape about it. He definitely had questions, but standing there watching the fight break out, well he honestly didn't see the point of getting involved at the moment.
Not all Dalish are smart and not all shemlens are dumb, it's a matter of statistics really. Silly thing to argue about over land, but then that's something that greatly concerns the shemlens, always arguing over borders, always trying to take more. Never happy with what they have.
