The elven people of Kirkwall had no voice in this decision, [ let us not hide behind them now — ] Whether the faithful embrace the grounds, only time will tell. It was an ordinary garden before, and yet required posted guards.
The origins of these spells are not easily-hidden. The Circle does not teach them. That leaves us to claim either the mutual cooperation of the Dalish and the Inquisition, or to call upon mystery apostates we cannot produce.
I would sooner not risk invoking that particular conflict. Better to control the message, to the extent we are still able: Elven faces, alongside human ones.
It would behoove you to speak with Enchanter Ceallach. She has been monitoring the Alienage's response, and may be able to recommend a means of Dalish amends.
You might be a little over the top, and a little out of line trying to use my own people to guilt me for something that wasn't even wrong by your Chantry standards, as far as I can tell. And the more people see the Inquisition overreacting, the worse it will be. Tell them magic exists to serve man, and it was part of the effort to help restore the city. That's all. If people are frightened, they will calm down. If a child sees a snake and panics, you don't panic along with him. If it's a safe snake, you pick it up and show it and let him know it's nothing to be afraid of. If it's a dangerous snake, you keep your distance and show him how to identify the snake later and how to move so it doesn't attack. You don't pick up the snake and run screaming through camp, shaming it for frightening your child.

aaa i'm so sorry about the delay, apparently i maar'd this somehow
[ a sharp breath, this conversation is rapidly approaching its peak of usefulness. ]
You claim to fear for the Alienage; I offer you solutions. [ you don't toss buckets of snakes about either, ] If you have done this for your people, without their regard?
I would ask yourself why you would do so much less upon their request.
