"They found one for Morrigan. Who came into the Inquisition after me and is human."
She doesn't want an office, and she's aware Morrigan is far more traveled and studied than she is, but frankly? The surface level just looks bad when their department is the elven arcane and she's allowed to be occasionally salty about it.
"The apostate with political ties to the Empress of Orlais." It is more than race, on occasion, it is standing. "I wonder what Vivienne's face looked like when she knew Morrigan was given space for an office?"
"Most rooms are either in dire need of disrepair or slated for renovation for the use of visiting diplomats." She cannot stand in the way of what would be best for the Inquisition as a whole- no matter how much she might want to. "Unfortunately it is the best way to have that authority recognized by those outside of the Inquisition."
"I know. Sometimes it feels like saving space for those who need it least. I know it's still our space. But I can't imagine being someone I could be around if I demanded aristocratic comforts everywhere I went."
"It is absurd!" Pel scrunches her nose, missing the point. "If you're someone's guest, you try not to put everyone out trying to please you. But if you're rich enough, you can do as you please and people will call it an honor. Even the Inquisition."
"Allow me to make the recommendation you never spend too much time in Val Royeaux." It would not end well. "It is politics and influence, assumed insults can ruin a reputation that is still fragile. So we must take steps not to cause insult. We are not precisely rolling in coin, otherwise the Hold would have been repaired and refurnished months ago."

"Honestly, Morrigan might have just taken it. Might be the only way to get any kind of space round here.
"Morrigan's tried to make up for it by screening for elven assistants. I think she knows it looks bad, heading up a department about elven research."

Like the ears.
And the facial tattoo.
And the bare feet.
