Tal nodded at Valehna's response. "I feel no regret for what I did." He stated, eyes drifting from the ceiling, to the water, to the Elven mage. Even if what he had done had lead him to be locked up in a cage, it was what it was. The Qunari saw no point in having regrets, changing the past is impossible. Or so he thought. He wondered if maybe mages could rewrite time, he sure hoped they couldn't. The world was in a bad enough state already.<br/><br/>"You think we're really going to find lyrium at the end of this?" He asked her, starting to doubt the possibility himself. Even if they found it, he wondered how they were going to get it back to the spirit. Unless they didn't give it back at all. Ester's idea was an interesting one, he felt like the spirit was watching them, though, and he didn't want to have to deal with the consequences of double crossing him-- it.<br/><br/>"You talk too much." Ester responded, turning her head to look at the Shemlen. "You try too hard to piss me off... and usually succeed. You're reckless. A prisoner. I could go on?" She listed off, though she had a playful tone to her voice, it seemed she wasn't actually being horrible.
