yyy right & it's something Lupeo held out to Myr originally, so he knows whereof that concern comes from. again, it's something he'd want to clear because that's a thing that gets southern mages killed if it's attached to their names!! (and also it ain't true which would chafe him personally.) so like, hit him with wrath of heaven or something.

also y! it could definitely be interesting--as said he respects her enough still he'd want to talk it through with her. even if he's not in Forces she's still a division head & he's a project leader. so from his POV they oughta get on professionally even if they've chafed in the past over how to treat with the Chantry & he knows she'll conceal things that endanger people.
