[They could. Easily. Frighteningly. It wouldn't take anything before the Gallows would be empty. It's already nearly that, and then subtracting those of their number that have fallen, they're still less.]
'Cos--what would there be, then? Except the Inquisition.
[ Oh. The thought occurs to her suddenly - Is he asking because he might...fight for them? ]
We're working to end slavery in Tevinter. We're - elves, most of us. A lot of slaves are elves in Tevinter, and - you know - some of the groups of escapees only let humans in. But we welcome everyone. And we're dedicated to putting a stop to slavery in Tevinter.
Oh. Yeah? That's good. I mean, that sounds stupid--weak, like--but I mean it, really. Good. It's brilliant that there's a place for anyone to go after escaping. And that's where you were, before Riftwatch--and it'd be easy to go back to it?
Er-- well, maybe. I might. Yeah. [A little pause before he tacks on, with some uncertainty--] If they'd have me. I know you said it was for anyone, but--that'd be anyone of Tevinter, right, what escaped. Which isn't me. Obviously.
That - We'd definitely have you. It's not - We want anyone who'll fight for us. I mean, you'd have taken non-mages into your group, if they'd been willing to help, right?
Well--yeah. I reckon. [--though he sounds somewhat uncertain.] 'Cos you wouldn't turn away help, would you. Not if it's really needed. It'd be... different. I've only ever fought with mages--I mean, and then Riftwatch, but there's loads of mages here, so.

Date: 2023-08-05 01:37 am (UTC)I dunno, for my part. Like--Riftwatch'll need us, if [when] it doesn't work. More'n ever. They'll be out, what, a dozen people?
