If Laurentius is at all relieved or pleased by this halfway surrender on Benedict's part, that too fails to manifest very clearly in the serious lines of his face.

Letter writing, he can accomplished. It would require a false name, but surely that's easily accomplished. The rest is all non-applicable. What friends he might have once had are irrelevant now and would have been against this whole endeavor to begin with; and there is a reason Lalla attends to a great deal of the social maneuvering expected of any Laetan.
He studies these facts quietly and methodically before asking—
"How have people answered to you in your position? I can't imagine many in the south have been happy to find themselves negotiating with someone from Tevinter."
Not that he's speaking from experience.
(Yes he is. He and Lalla abandoned their little rented room in Kirkwall for more reasons than just the dreary furnishings and the stink of the city.)
