[He listens quietly, nodding at the pauses where it seems appropriate. There's some silence when Fate ends as Anders processes all of it.]

I take it Malsaam has no desire to stop and listen to an explanation.

[It's deliberately not a question since the answer already seems pretty clear. That it's almost definitely a qunari name strengthens that impression - qunari seem to come to an opinion and stick with it no matter what.]

He, Priggs, I mean, won't attack here. There's too much risk to sending Tevinter forces to Kirkwall in the current political climate, I believe. But he'll likely have people watching and he'll wait for you to be sent off... Do you think he'd come personally? Do you think he could be baited?

[The statement does earn a wry chuckle from Fate.]

Ah, I couldn't think of anyone more stubborn than Mal. [His voice is fond, but also full of regret.] I'd have to chain him down to a wall to make him hear me out, and even then I don't know if he'd believe me.

No, you're... you're right about Priggs. He wouldn't come here to attack, not directly. But he could be convinced to come personally. He isn't stupid, but he is immensely prideful.

Killing Priggs might send a message to your former friend. Or it might not. We can perhaps hope he doesn't hate you so much he follows you here and focus on Priggs? If Priggs thinks you're happy or comfortable here, would that be enough?

[There may be a solution in here somewhere. He can hope, at least.]

I think the only message Mal would get would that I have no problem backstabbing someone else. Or whatever kind of excuse he'd like to make. It's hard to say, but maybe he'll figure it out.

[He lets out a sigh and sits back, folding his arms as he considers.] Maybe it might be enough. Then again, he certainly had no problem trying to corner me a few months ago. I doubt it occurred to him that I was close to Nerva, or he probably would have used her as bait.

So... if it seemed like I was having a merry time without a care in the world, it might be enough to make him come out if ever get around to leaving Kirkwall.

We could see if we can't get word to spread of you having a place here where you're welcomed and belong, and then we plan a publicized trip with surprise members on it.

[It's a fairly simplistic plan, but it's a start.]
