Well that doesn't sound at all like the wolf in her dream. He was... lonely, more than anything else, not terrifying or manipulative — he wanted to be remembered, and he wanted his people to be remembered. If that's Fen'Harel, these people have very little real knowledge of their own deity.

"So if an elf were to be visited by a wolf in their dreams, would that be taken as a very bad sign? Or anyone, I suppose, though it'd be more likely for him to come to elves, certainly?"

Basically: Are you gonna flip out if she tells you a wolf showed her some ruins in her dreams? Not that Adalia is really considering telling Ellana this — Solas said it'd be a bad idea, and she trusts his judgment on this one, hearing these myths, but how superstitious are the Dalish really?

"Oh, so... Huh. Strange."

So not even something like Alacruun's prison, then — he could reach through that, nominally, enough to empower her and talk to her, even if he couldn't come through it. The Creators can't even manage that much.

How God-like are they, really, then?

Ellana draws a foot up onto the bench, wrapping arms around her leg and resting her cheek against her knee. She gives Adalia a thoughtful stare, wondering if she's merely asking out of curiosity, or something more.

"Some would say so; I'm sure. But I've dreamt of wolves before, after I was attacked by them. And you have to remember that our dreams are where spirits and demons roam. I wouldn't be surprised if a demon took the form of a wolf to scare people. So it could be a bad sign, if the stories are true. And it could be a bad sign if the wolf is really a demon. But sometimes? A dream is just a dream."

That's the most diplomatic way she can put it. Ellana isn't exploring elven ruins for the fun of it. She wants to find out the truth. What in their past is history and what are just stories? Until she knows for sure one way or the other, she can allow for several interpretations.

"Why is it strange?" she asks mildly, curious as to Adalia's reasoning.
