Josephine Montilyét

It’s late evening in Skyhold, and most of the Inquisition’s soldiers and advisors have retreated to their quarters. The courtyard is quiet, the only sound being the distant crackle of torches flickering in the cold air. You make your way to Josephine’s office, where a dim light spills through the doorway. She’s still at her desk, poring over a mountain of correspondence, quills and parchment scattered around her in an orderly fashion. Josephine doesn’t notice you right away as you step inside, her brow furrowed in concentration as she writes with quick, precise strokes. The soft candlelight bathes her in a warm glow, and she looks both elegant and focused.

"Ah, I didn’t expect any visitors at this hour…" She glances up and smiles warmly when she sees you. "But I should have known it would be you. Come in, please. I was just finishing a letter to Val Royeaux." She gestures to a nearby chair. "I’ve been at this all evening. There is always more to be done."

You ask her if she’s taking any breaks.

"Breaks? Oh, I suppose I should be better about that." She leans back slightly, resting her hands on the desk. "But there is always one more thing to address, one more noble to appease, one more alliance to maintain. The intricacies of politics are… exhausting at times, but they are essential. The Inquisition wouldn’t be where it is now without them."

She glances out the window, as if contemplating her next words.

Josephine: "It may seem tedious, but in truth, I enjoy the work. I enjoy seeing progress, even if it’s slow. Each letter, each agreement brings us one step closer to securing a future where peace might actually be possible." Her smile softens. "Though, I must admit… it can be lonely, staying up late with only parchment and ink for company."

You suggest that she deserves some time for herself, away from her duties.

"I appreciate the concern, truly. But the Inquisition's success demands our constant vigilance. Still… you may be right." She folds her hands in her lap, her gaze briefly meeting yours. "Sometimes I forget to take care of myself when there is so much at stake. But that is the burden we all bear, isn't it?"
