"Don't we all."

For all the work he'd put into helping Alexius develop that particular brand of magic, Dorian no longer cared if he ever saw it again-- once upon a time, it had been a revolutionary theory, something he thought they would be lauded for, but he'd only seen it bring forth pain and suffering, ruin, and he would rather see its secrets buried before it fell into the wrong hands once more.

He trains his expression to be carefully neutral as he reaches out to smooth Brennan's hair back, choosing his words with care.

"I went home to Tevinter, for a time," he begins, deciding that's as good a place to start as any. "I returned to the south with the token title of Ambassador. An Exalted Council had been called. Ferelden wished to see the Inquisition disbanded, Orlais wanted it and you beneath its collective thumb. Our dear Divine had stalled it as long as possible, but it could no longer be avoided. If it had been the Council alone, I've no doubt that things could have turned out favorably, thanks to the Divine's backing and Josephine's silver tongue, but-- there were complications."
