[Amelia holds her breath as Gale summons his orb and has it follow their suspicious soldier. She exhales softly, frustrated. Redcliffe was supposed to be a reprieve for them, but instead the unknown factors are standing in her way.]
If he is what I think he is, there might be an outside contact.
[Their "soldier" has somehow made it past, having been given the excuse to pick up supplies and make sure no outsiders can move past him. His pace is study as to not arouse suspicion while the real soldier's eyes are on him.]
Do you know about the Venatori?
[Her voice is low, but she's starting to shift her position, hand gripping her staff on her back.]
[Gale's expression darkens, though his focus never wavers, his concentration on his spell remaining even as he notes Amelia reaching for her staff beside him.
Good. They should be ready, should anything go further awry.]
Tevinter mages who have very strong opinions about returning to the old way of things.
[It is, to say the least, a gentle and generous description. The group is still fairly new, but quickly gaining strength and influence. There were plenty of southern mages who didn't give it much thought, didn't think it concerned anyone beyond the Imperium's borders, but Gale is certain he knows better.]
Don't be too hasty. Pursue if necessary, but we should be able to monitor from a safe distance— for a time. You handle yourself well, but I don't believe tangling with a potential Venatori agent will behoove either of us, not to mention our charges.

If he starts to run, I'm going to jump him.

[Well. His charges, he supposes.]
