[She nods grimly at mention of assassination. Elise has too many detractors for that to be anything but a likely outcome.]
Gertruda is a problem...though the wishy-washy one could be just as bad, if she has those strongly in favor of the old system without any changes to influence her. Anything that could grin the ascension of either one to a halt would have my approval. [A small smirk forms.] If the northern Grey Wardens are going to throw away any pretense at avoiding politics, I won't hold back either.
I've no love for Clorentine, but given the Inquisition's overall position, I assumed cooperation there was more or less given. Not that I can see why she'd have many supporters anyway -- too risky. Give me someone I disagree with who holds a consistent, coherent position any day.
So far...research. I want to know more about all the candidates involved; their strengths, their weaknesses, their opinions about dogs. [Mostly joking about the latter. Mostly.] And of course if anything uncovered might compromise certain candidates, I would love to see it fall into the right hands. Those voting might not care about the same things that we hold dear, but that isn't to say that the candidates hands are clean. Everyone has skeletons in their closet.
Information is never a bad thing, though we don't have as much time for gathering it as I'd like. In fairness, we probably should have been keeping a closer eye out before now, but... Corypheus.
He may not have caused all of the issues we now deal with, but he's certainly manipulated them. No wonder we didn't have time or energy to spare for this until now. And you're right, there isn't much time for research or even action. But...I hate waiting for whatever is to come without doing something to influence it. It shouldn't matter to me anymore, I'm a Warden. They won't make me return, but....
[...she gestures at him, also meaning all the colleagues and friends she's made in the Circle and now outside it. Whatever will happen to them is something she can't ignore.]
