There's something that flashes across Beleth's face when Jade mentions a Creator's Temple--a flinch, a look of pain, and then just as suddenly, it's gone again. No, it can't be the same pantheon. She's quite sure that Jade isn't from Thedas, and even so -- well, it's not like she didn't know her supposed gods weren't above killing children.
"Jade, I'm so sorry." What can you say to that? It was like when Finnick explained the Hunger Games to her -- what can you say in the face of these kinds of horrors? "No one should have to go through any of that. But -- I'm glad you survived. I'm sure your sister would be glad, as well. I have a brother -- I know that I would be relieved, if he survived what I could not."
Not that it was likely that she'd see Sorrel again. Circumstances seemed designed to separate them. Or maybe her own selfish choices -- she wasn't as good of a sister as she could have been. She didn't have to stay with the Inquisition. She didn't have to follow Solas. Caldera, at least, she couldn't really help.
"And I'm glad that you're here. And that I get to know you."
