"Cyril- I know you mean well but I am not nor shall I ever be Dalish. I would not be counted among them- it does them a disservice." It is the kindest way to lay things out. He is an Antivan above all else- that he is an elf comes second. It's something he is reminded of frequently but not how he pegs himself off the cuff. For the moment he laughs the notion off.

It is kind, terribly kind of Cyril to think of him as such, but much as he told Gavin he is no hero? He is no Dalish. Their world is not his own.

"Mmm? When you know nothing else? It does not seem so bad. But when you know there is more to life than being in a pretty cage?" He shrugs, seeing no reason to elaborate. He was a crow, now he is not. His life and choices are his own.
