I heard. [She tries for impassive.] Contagious or not, at the first sign of anything going amiss outside the Gallows, the Inquisition will be blamed for it and we'll be in far hotter water than if we head it off now.
[Tentatively, she clasps Anders's shoulder, her grip loose enough that he can pull away if he doesn't like it.]
No one's being imprisoned. We'll live our lives as normal and wait for it to pass, or resolve it, whichever comes first. [They are. They are being imprisoned, and she knows it, feels its icy tendrils in her heart, the same beast gripping Anders'. But there's no sense in everyone panicking, if this is how it's going to be.]
