[ Her brow furrows is disbelief, because she has no idea what he's referring to, but she may as well recount everything she remembers. Maybe something will trigger her memory and she'll understand what he's referring to without needing to ask him to spell it out first. ]
Well, I stayed on the shore as the rifters were rescued as I cannot swim. One of the red lyrium serpents was led into a tidepool and Warden Serra and I killed it.
[ Inessa became ill afterwards, but Christine can't recall being harsh with her. Besides, if Inessa had a problem with her, she'd confront Christine herself instead of going over her head. It seems the cowards's way to not take it up with her first. ]
I then studied what I could before I returned to the camp being set up. A rifter named Sarkan and I began healing members of the rescue party.
[ Was that it? Sarkan had been very short with the group and though Christine had much more healer's compassion, she did point out that it was foolish of them to hide their injuries. Did someone take offense to that? ]
After that day, I mostly stayed at camp to offer my abilities as a healer, though I did join Knight-Commander Norrington and the team he assembled to find the source of the red lyrium infecting the sea creatures. We tracked it to a crashed vessel and climbed aboard.
[ Wait; the dirty look Beleth had given her when Christine pointed out that her mocking James and the situation regarding red lyrium was unacceptable. Was that it? ]
At that point, the Knight-Commander wanted to know what we wished to do with the red lyrium shards, suggesting that surely we all wished to destroy it. Beleth Ashara then proceeded to mock him, saying she was going to suggest we line our pockets with it and take it home instead. I told her in no uncertain terms that we needed no sarcastic comments regarding red lyrium, and she gave me a look like she would light me on fire. [ Christine sighs, leaning forward in her chair a little as her face falls. ] I have seen the lives destroyed by red lyrium. I have ended the lives of Red Templars whose bodies were corrupted beyond salvaging, and I do not tolerate jokes made about it. Countless people have suffered. The people in this very city know how red lyrium drove Knight-Commander Meredith mad. She ordered the deaths of every mage in Kirkwall while under red lyrium's influence. It is a serious thing; not something one makes jokes about.
