[Something deeply unpleasant crosses Fenris' face for a moment. It's the sort of look you'd expect he'd get before someone died horribly. He lets out a breath, calms, and his expression settles into one of a more irritated exasperation. ]

So? Justice saved many lives, it travelled with the Hero, did work for her. It did not stop the creature and Anders destroying the Kirkwall chantry, slaughtering hundreds of innocent lives and throwing our world into a civil war- where hundreds more have undoubtedly perished. Just because it has saved some lives does not mean it will not turn.

[His eyes narrow, his shoulders tense. She has overstepped an already fragile boundary. ]

Do not presume you can use Dorian against me. I won't be manipulated. Not by you, not by anyone.

[Doesn't that sting. The idea that should would ever use Dorian, use anyone, as a bargaining chip makes her feel ill and like she could hit him all at the same time. But neither of those things show, beyond a tightening around her mouth as her lips thin. He's crossed his own boundary now, but she can't even blame him for this. She can't even really stay angry.]

When I leave here and you consider what you've just said, you'll see it's as far from the truth as you could ever be. Cole is Compassion, Fenris, not Justice. His entire existence is to help, not to find retribution for those who are slighted. He isn't possessing a human, more importantly.

[And now she stands, because if he's on the way to hating her she doesn't want to make it worse.]

And before you make your assumptions about his turning, you should know that he begged me to kill him if he ever hurt anyone. I've promised that I will, and the saddest part of all of this is if you were to kill him for being a danger when he truly was, he would thank you.

[Boy, does he not care about the differentiation. He has seen too much of the arcane, of spirits and demons in Tevinter to know letting his guard around one, treating it as if it were a PERSON would be a foolish move.]

Then I am glad it is aware.

[She doesn't respond. Up til now, Fenris has always gotten the side of Jove that every single one of her friends gets; sweet, supportive, willing to talk out differences.

But Fenris says it again and something turns off in her eyes. Cole is a person, more now than he had ever been before. He had been losing his fear of becoming attached to people, starting to learn that it didn't always mean they would hate you the moment they found out your true nature.

But Fenris does, and Fenris will never change, and Jove heads for his door without another word.]

[wolfuncaged]

[He doesn't stop her. Perhaps, eventually, he will feel some regret in the way he spoke to her about this. His views on Cole will remain. He needs more time, to conquer this particular fear. ]
