No to what in particular?

[holyspirits]

"no" in a letter?
"no" to going with him somewhere?
and no, you shouldn't have needed to respond to him about it
i don't know man i just think if this guy can't be assed to talk to you like an adult after the shit you had to go through
going somewhere with him without support from other people sounds like a bad idea

[spiritbalm]

mm
I understand

And I think that is all I wanted. A conversation.

When we first arrived, I could not figure out if he truly even wanted me alive anymore.

[holyspirits]

isn't that all anyone wants? you can't base any sort of relationship only on jokes and vibes
you have to have some substance
and if you were already struggling to tell how he felt about you, then...
if it were me, i'd stick with people i know want me around
people i know without question would actually be there if i needed them

I feel I've told you so much of Thedas, but only the parts that seem horrifying.

It is still my home. If I did not love it, the people there, I would not have fought for it so hard.

i know
i'm just saying like... shadowheart would be good for you
at the same time it's like... even if a place sucks and doesn't treat you well, it's still home
you still feel a connection to it. there are things and people you love about it
it's a big decision to decide you may want to go somewhere else and try your hand at life there

[spiritbalm]

I gave my life for it once.
I will have to trust it will be sufficient enough sacrifice to matter.

[holyspirits]

...it's hard not to be scared about change
and trusting things you can't see for yourself
but i still think you owe it to yourself to do this
