( she'd say thank the creators, but considering they're not actually gods and solas is technically one of them, well. )

I'm not sure how to explain it to a stranger. But the world has existed with the Veil that keeps the Fade separate for at least a thousand years. No one remembers how to live in a world without it, and those that do not have magical talent now fear it, and the dangers magic comes with. To have those without training be forced to have something they fear and have no practice controlling in a world that reflects both reality and whatever someone might wish to see?

( well, she's sure he can imagine what might result. )
