I... do not feel it's my right to discuss how she passed, my apologies, Mariane. [ Rhys radiates sympathy and empathy, his brows drawn down. He can see her pain, her shock. It feels wrong to be the one to inform her, to inform her now and here of all things, and it's worse knowing that he doesn't feel right sharing the exact details of her demise. He wonders if Wynne would want him to, if Evangeline would want him to. ]

But she gave her life for others. [ He bows his head a little, frown controlled. He could have lost everyone that night and it's no easy memory to look back upon, filling him with profound sorrow and rage in equal proportion; it didn't need to end that way but it did, all because of the actions of the thoughtless and fearful. ] She was instrumental in rescuing mages during the revolt of the White Spire; without her, I don't know how many of us would have made it. Her, Shale, Leliana... Without them, I imagine Lord Seeker Lambert would have have found a way to invoke the Right of Annulment.

[ She was a hero, again. He doesn't know how things would have gone if Wynne and Evangeline hadn't managed to escape and, honestly, he doesn't even want to know. ]
