What's your aim? Is it to help people who are starving or is it to tell people what to do?

What am I going to tell them to do? We're doing Chant readings.

So, your aim is to do chant readings? So, what's the food for?

People who come to listen.

What if you
only
gave out the food?

Then there would be no comfort found in the Maker's words.

No one will be forced to listen, any more than they are forced to eat.

So your aim then is to provide comfort?

Do you not think it wouldn't provide
more
comfort to people who are starving to feed as many of them as possible? Say if that was everyone's focus rather than some people reading chants?

Why do you assume these things can't happen concurrently?

Just think if you're going to feed people, you should feed them without asking them for anything or using it as a bribe to get them to listen to you.

You speak as though the teachings of Andraste are a burden.

Don't think you'll find many among the common folk who will weigh it as their highest priority over
[incoherent grumbling]
starving

It is almost as though they can take care of both needs at once.
Did you have a point?

So, you
are
claiming that you're attempting to solve the problem of starvation then?

I--
[He actually sputters.]
Solve
starvation? We'll be feeding the hungry for an afternoon, do you think I purport to be the Maker himself?

You said that they can fulfill their needs
after
I mentioned starvation. Just trying to figure out what your plan is here.

I meant
eating
, you idiot.
[His patience has just about lapsed, genuine contempt seeping into his response.]
You've made it clear enough that you intend to harry me without purpose, and I've no time for it. Good day.
