Falina spoke briefly; Ordhan straightened as she did, proud of the confidence she had gained and the insight with which she spoke. "She likely destroyed it. We will see," he answered her in a low voice, glancing at the woman in question. She was cooperating, so far, but that seemed to be fading along with her pain. It was clever of Falina to have thought of it, though. He would search her himself if necessary, but it could wait another moment; the debate had gone on long enough. Conlan had given his point of view, as had Falina; he opened his mouth to speak--
And shut it again as Conlan gave his point of view, again. Ordhan let out the breath he had drawn to speak in an audible sigh, eyes drifting half-closed. This was as bad as a Landsmeet. The pressure between his eyes was becoming a full-grown headache while his frayed patience wavered. With an effort he forced a neutral expression and waited. Listening was difficult. What he did understand of Conlan's arguments was hatred of the very system Ordhan served, which while imperfect was certainly nowhere near as corrupt as the mercenary made it to be. Defensiveness flared, but was quenched. This was not the time for personal arguments. Ordhan was not sure if it ever would be. His recent argument with Conlan had been catastrophic enough; it was not something he wished to repeat anytime soon.
Even so, Ordhan could only stand in stunned silence in the moments that followed Conlan's speech. He drew another breath, striving to regather the thoughts that had been scattered by frustration. He was not surprised when another spoke into the brief quiet that had risen: this time it was Hissra, usually one of few words. It was not within him to be annoyed at the interjection. The Qunari was, surprisingly, saying what Ordhan may have, had he been inclined. Ordhan nodded his thanks to the mage as he moved away and crossed his arms.
Without sparing a moment, the knight spoke, voice not harsh but firm enough to brook no argument. "Both of you will come with me. It will be easier for you if you continue to cooperate," he announced, looking between Marianna and Trevor. His eyes then turned towards the merchant. "Ser, do you press charges against the elves? If not, they are free to do as they choose, but if you do they will come as well."
"If they require a witness beyond the report I will give them, I will stay, and none of you will be delayed. Your mission will not be hindered in any way. Even if I am called to stay, it should not take long. I can travel more quickly alone than we have been, and I would likely catch up again before you've gone far. I have offered my help to the Wardens, but not at the expense of my duty." It was a veritable speech for the knight, but he knew that if he left out any detail it would leave room for even more debate.
