What job does a Templar have if the Circles are broken? Some had found their answer in the Hinterlands, and Elera isn't going to kid herself about her chances against a host of them. She's a mage, their so-called Herald of Andraste, and that will only offer her protection for however long they decide it does. But Ser Huguette Bonnay hasn't attempted to throw her in chains personally, so Elera doesn't take another step back but holds her ground, eyes flicking to the armor.
The unspoken protest doesn't set her at ease, either. It's not a title she wants, it's not one she asked for. She is Elera of Clan Lavellan, First to the Keeper. No Herald of the shemlen. "You spoke Elvish, and there's no one else here who does." No Dalish, except for her. It's a loneliness she doesn't know how to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it.
Former Templar-- "Why did you leave?" Perhaps a bit too straightforward, so Elera attempts to readjust her question. "I know why Cassandra and Cullen left their orders, but I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone else about why they joined." Just Varric and Solas, and then Vivienne and Sera. They weren't the rank and file of the Inquisition, though, and she's curious.
