He probably shouldn't blatantly avoid it, that would seem dodging and he didn't want the clan not to trust him. "And it is quite set in its ways. It cannot let go of old, outdated traditions. Slavery, blood magic, and its lack of allies is going to lead to its downfall."
There, the ugly parts were out of the way. Dorian could move on to all the things he loved about his home.
"But we are a passionate people." He glanced at Bramen with a small smirk. "We have no reserves in love and in war. We encourage the pursuit of knowledge, to study and to think. Our minds are a great treasure. Our language is complex and quite difficult for outsiders to learn."
Dorian didn't mean to make it sound like a challenge but it was the truth. Tevene, even modern Tevene, was one of the most complex languages in Thedas.
