*grumbles to self* All my stuff is spoilery right now! Okay, I found a bit that's canon...with a twist, of course.

“So much beauty to behold here, even hidden away in this fortress,” Giselle said by way of greeting. “The Maker's hand is always a wonderful mystery, no?”

Imogen looked at the windows herself, seeing the light pouring through the stained glass, turning the Hall into a kaleidoscope of colors. But she was well aware the Maker had nothing to do with it. “You wanted to see me, Mother Giselle?”

“Ah, yes.” She folded her hands in front of her, the picture of grace and dignity. Imogen knew this conversation wasn't going to be so easy. If Giselle was looking for her, that meant Dorian's father had sent his letter. “There is something I wish to discuss, Inquisitor. I have news regarding one of your companions...the Tevinter.”

“The Tevinter has a name, Revered Mother.”

“Of course.” She cleared her throat somewhat guiltily and Imogen knew she didn't like this particular duty, but felt it incumbent upon herself to see it through. She knew of Giselle's distrust for Dorian, as both a mage and a Vint. “I have been in contact with his family, House Pavus. Out of Qarinus. Are you familiar with them?”

“Only in that they're not on good terms. And isn't it called Ventus now?”

“I would not know, Inquisitor. I do not take note of Tevinter should it not be necessary. In any event, I believe you are correct that the young man is estranged from his family. They have sent me a letter describing the...difficulties with their son and pleading for my aid. They have asked to arrange a meeting. Quietly, without telling him. They fear it's the only way he will come.”

“They wouldn't be wrong.”

“I would speak to the...to Dorian myself, but he does not care for me.”

“Can't imagine why,” Imogen said dryly.
