The girl speaks as if it's rehearsed; alone, that's not so strange (wise to plan one's words when speaking with an ally of relative unknowns), but the affect needs practice, the method of approach does. A professional view would have afforded her better ground to argue from: The head of Kirkwall intelligence might make a case for knowledge of personnel, even those outside her purview.
But a friend?
If she doesn't doubt Beleth's attachment, Wren's still seen where it ends. It doesn't incline her to start spilling details. Maker knows she's already furthered enough speculation of Harriman's state, just trying to keep ahead of this mess.
She almost gives Beleth points for honesty, but suspects it's as much a practical matter as anything. A delicate balancing act: To be seen as more than the elf in the room, without ruffling feathers for it.
"Perhaps you might describe your view of the situation."
A loose, even gesture as she reseats herself. That Harriman is no longer a Ser — well. Best not toss out information without regard for Beleth’s aims. Those threads might be followed too far.
