"No, it's all right. You know, you're the second city elf to ask me that," she answers good-naturedly. "I know my vallaslin will always mark me as one, but I've left my clan and just consider myself an elf in general." Plus, Dalish as a term tends to put city elves on edge, like she's coming to lord over her superiority or something. It's not always the case, of course. Stereotyping the city elves would be just as bad as them stereotyping her.

"Fire came to me naturally. I was made hearthkeeper since I wasn't First or even Second to the Keeper. So fire magic helped light the fires and keep them going much easier. As for storm... I don't know, really. No one's ever asked me that before." No one's ever seemed interested. "It slows enemies down? Maybe that's why. Battle is too fast-paced for me. Having a moment to hold the enemy in place and just breathe helps."
