It's relief enough to hear that Leliana is safe, at least for now, and she continues to clasp the other's hand, squeezing weakly. The safety of her group, of her friends, has always been the most important thing to her, and... at least they've managed to go without harm thus far.
"It was careless," the Warden breathes, gaze drifting automatically to her arm, raising her hand to thumb around the bite, beneath where her bracer had once been. "But I couldn't leave those left in the mansion to flee, myself. You know I couldn't."
Safety for herself means nothing, not if others are still fighting and trying to protect their temporary home and loved ones despite the danger.
"Please look after him. But, keep yourself safe, Leliana-- more than anything, I want you to be safe."
How long does she have before she's more monster than herself? Is this any indication of what's to come for her after her Calling? ... Of course, it isn't long after that thought that she remembers her future, one in a battle with the archdemon, and... maybe that's better, after all. A death for Ferelden, against the blight, and not one wasted under the ground.
