Merrill: The Hero of Ferelden told me about you.Morrigan: Did she now?Merrill: She told me you stole from Keeper Solan.Morrigan: And what I took is theirs again, is it not?Merrill: That isn’t the point.Morrigan: And what is the point, pray tell?Merrill: You’ve known about everything: the eluvians, the Crossroads, and for what? For you? You seem eager to learn about my People, but I’ve seen no evidence that you have plans to do anything for us.Morrigan: Is knowledge itself not a cause?Merrill: When kept to yourself, no. You’re like a magpie collecting shiny baubles, you find things and keep them for yourself. I doubt you would have every shared what you learned with anyone if the fate of the world wasn’t at stake.
Merrill: So-- you mother is...Morrigan: Does it make you rethink my qualifications?Merrill: Maybe once, but after what we saw at the Temple? I’m beginning to understand that knowing who my People were is more important than understanding out gods.Merrill: But I’m... sorry she treated you the way she did.
Morrigan: You said you were sorry for how I was treating growing up.Merrill: I remember, yes.Morrigan: You’ve made no secret of your feelings for me.Merrill: That doesn’t mean the child you were deserved... that. Maybe she loved you, maybe she didn’t, it doesn’t matter. No one should treat her child like she did.Morrigan: I... you have a point.
