Max glanced at him with surprise as did Cullen, Leliana and Cassandra as he explained Salihn.
"She is from our future Inquisitor, she did not lie. She allowed me to search her memories willingly, and without a moment's hesitation. She could not hide anything from me, she is telling the truth."
Max glanced at Cullen and then back to Solas laughing.
"Hell why not – right? She fell through a rift that appeared out of nowhere and didn't even cause my mark to flare a warning." Shaking his head thinking shit could get no weirder than this.
"Is she a mage?" Cullen asked curiously.
Solas nodded his head, "Yes Commander she is, however she does not realize it I believe."
Cullen stared at him disbelievingly, "she doesn't realize it?"
Solas shook his head hoping they would not persecute her for it; he just needed time to teach her and activate her past life memories.
"I do not believe she had magic until she was pulled through the time rift. All her memories that I witnessed showed she did not have magic, nor have I told her she has those capabilities. I did not want to scare her further than she already is. What I did find was that our present is her history."
Cassandra, Cullen and Max gazed at each other with obvious discomfort at the idea of an untrained mage running around the castle.
"Do not worry about this overly much Inquisitor. I believe with time I can help her understand her powers; she is quite intelligent, and it should not prove too difficult for her to learn. Again it will just take time."
Max moved for the door glancing at everyone.
"Well, let's go meet the future and hope she can help us win against Corypheus by remembering her history."

Salihn stood as the door opened and watched as Solas walked in with Max, Cassandra, Leliana and Cullen following closely behind him. Knotting her fingers together in nervousness she heard the soft click of the door closing and her heart skipped a beat.
I am so fucked...I am going to die. That is totally Leliana – oh my god she is gorgeous. Cassandra reminds me of a Jaguar...don't you think? Jesus Christmas – do you think Cullen could seriously be any bigger?
Stop that – focus moron and pull out your lady balls.
You know...if they do kill me, you will finally shut up, it might be worth it.
You do realize I am you – right?
Ugh...I need a drink.
"I am Maxwell Trevelyan, and this is Commander..."
She finished his introductions unsettling everyone at the same time.
"Cullen Stanton Rutherford, former Knight Commander of Kirkwall after Meredith's mess, and from Honleath; Cassandra Pentaghast, Nevarran Royalty, one of the Seekers of Truth, Right Hand of the Divine; and Sister Nightingale, current Spy Master, left hand of the Divine, fought with the Hero of Ferelden during the fifth Blight. It is a pleasure to meet you all, I am Salihn Gilbalar."
Max stared at her in surprise and it did not escape any of them that her eyes were two separate colors. Unable to hide his curiosity, and thought it might be a kinder way to help her relax with her obvious nervousness, he questioned her about them.
