Warden Mac Tir assumed RIGHT.
The few scars on his face might have suggested another story, however, he could only hardly call the brawl where he had gotten them from combat experience: Knocked UNCONSCIOUS by a precise punch to the mouth.
A painful jolt through his arm, a brief flicker of green at the edge of his field of vision and his hand instantly clenched into a tight fist again, dim light glowing through his closed fingers. His heart beat resounded almost DEAFENING inside of his ears, his hands visibly trembling as a shaky hiss escaped him.
BRANDED; the clear evidence of his guilt for a crime he hasn’t even committed.
He hadn’t been supposed to be at the Conclave in the first place, merely a formal ERROR. But now those who didn’t were of the opinion that he has killed the Devine expected from him - merely a bureaucrat in the service of the Chantry, a man who has never served a blow or started a fight - to battle murderous, men-eating demons from the Fade.
Roderick felt so terribly, terribly OVERWHELMED by all of this, too small for a position that was so big; and definitely not in the mood for niceties. Thus, the other man’s outstretched hand simply stayed ignored.
“Do I look like a warrior to you, Commander? I’m going to die HORRIBLY.”
TEETH GRIND , a sigh swallowed . admittedly , loghain has a fondness of dramatics too , but this isn’t helping anyone , roderick the least . MORALE’S important now . it’ll make or break the inquisition . and here he is , trying to be nice for once , but roderick seems only to care about the horrible death that’ll befall him . truly , the chancellor is making it hard for him . somewhere , sometime he might feel pity for the unfortunate man , but today’s not the day .
loghain drops his hand then , still trying to not make an acerbic comment , but alas . ‘ yes , you might die horribly . and then what ? you’re the only person who can close that hole in the sky. ’ by way of illustrating his point , a gloved finger points upwards , to the gaping hole they’ve dubbed “ the breach ” .
‘ YOU’RE THE HERO NOW , RODERICK ASIGNON , LIKE IT OR NOT . and i’m going to do my damn best to keep you ALIVE so you can close the breach . ’ finger drops , but not before he’s jabbed threateningly at roderick . loghain crosses his arms again , his usual scowl only intensifying as he decides the argument stops at that . time to get this man more or less ready for battle . ‘ i’m giving you a sword and a shield to train with , unless you’d prefer something else . ’
