The look he gives her is more confused than anything, now."The implication that you should forgive me was in the fight you challenged me to. The terms were there. Fight it out, and leave the grudge behind. Not everything is simple, but that was. You didn't have to challenge me. You didn't have to choose to maintain an association. I appreciate that you did, but you didn't give your word to, to 'mind' me. And I don't ignore what I've done or who I am. I couldn't if I tried."

He exhales, leaning against a table. "I walk up here every day I'm in Skyhold to a mess of glares. If I snap back when someone lashes out the glares get worse, if I keep my mouth shut they get smug. In the tent, yes. I act like I'm just a healer, because I need to be just a healer sometimes. I act like I've shut things out and work and try to be a person because the day I give up is the day it's just Justice left and that's not fair to anyone who has put themselves on the line for me." But sometimes it's tempting. Sometimes it's very, very tempting.
