"I'm willing." Although, Myr thinks to himself, it doesn't matter if he's not because it's something that needs to be told--in all its gory detail--anyhow.
Less one or two of those details, and the omission will twist in his chest when he gets to that part of the story, and he will go on and tell it anyway as they'd planned--because if there's anything he's learned from the debacle it's that no one wants to see these things for what they are and so much harm can come of that. He huffs out a sigh at the thought and settles himself a little more comfortably. It's not the longest story but he suspects they'll be a while at it.
"Right. So I'd heard a little about it--mm, well before this all started, months ago--because of the miracles they do there--did there," and how that past tense hurts, but he doesn't show it. "Healing that magic couldn't achieve, the sort you only hear about in the Chant or from Andraste's ashes. --The Chantry, by the way, disavows miracles unless those ashes are involved; the Maker's turned His back on the world so anyone claiming divine power's a charlatan or worse."
Or worse, including apostates, but that's--not a rathole worth going down, not right now. Nor the part where saying it that way implies Myr believes quite differently on the matter from Chantry orthodoxy.
"So I'm a little skeptical of it all to begin with but don't think much else of it because it's way far off in the nether reaches of Ferelden on an island nobody'd go to otherwise."
