John thinks for a moment of a small hut, a fire, Byerly's hands working over arrowheads and the tip of his head as John asked a favor of him. A dream, but it was rooted in something, John suspects. He isn't sure where that impulse fits in here.
"I like him. I don't trust him," gets to the heart of the matter, perhaps nailing down what Madi had wanted to know from the start.
But then again, what does that really tell her? Who does John trust beyond her and Flint?
"He is devoted to Ferelden," John says, leaving it to Madi to decide what she makes of it. "More so than he is to Riftwatch, I believe. He's not an idiot, even if he chooses to comport himself as one on occasion."
John's fingers drum on the table, before he continues, "It would make our way here easier if he were to give Flint his support from time to time. But he's a suspicious man, and winning him over has been challenging."
