Solas, who is still not quite sure what to say, already knew he was in trouble, and so despite the sting of it is unsurprised. She has every right to be annoyed, and he... is certainly going to be angry with her in turn. In a minute or two, when he's done being shocked at the depth of... of everything.
"I did warn you," he says finally, in Felassan's direction, by way of self-defense. It isn't a particularly good one, but... in his opinion, it's relatively futile to attempt to defend oneself against Beleth Lavellan. The better stratagem is to run, and hide, and hope she does not catch up with you, which has worked well for him, "...You still wish to name yourself my friend?"
He betrayed you, Felassan. He stood by you and fought alongside you, and showed you his brightest and worst parts, and saw your own in turn. And after six millennia, at the end or nearly the end, he had buried it all in your back, and felt himself the betrayed as much as the betrayer.

Some things you can never take back.
Some things are unforgivable.
And yet...
"Even, now?"
