This sounds...unwise. [But she is an Inquisitor and she could command him to do it and maybe it was part of his penance? If so, he had asked for something challenging and painful, but he had been thinking more along the lines of, well, physical pain.]
I got you nothing in return, however. [You can't just give people gifts out of the blue like that. ]
[ The most challenging form of pain is stepping outside of what you know and growing from it. What Beleth is asking of him is, in her opinion, far harder than if she just gave him twenty lashes, or whatever. And far longer lasting than a simple wound.
That is the reality of the ruthlessness behind the gentleness: Not to simply assign some mundane physical pain that can be forgotten once it is healed, but to make Gadriel grow as a person. ]
Hmm. You can do me a favor. There are two men that I know, that I think could use a little practice with humor, as well. [ And she sends Gadriel the handles for Solas and Felassan both. ] Try out one of the jokes on the two of them -- the more esoteric, the better. That way, you can aid me as I attempt to train them, as well.
[ Maybe she CAN be evil and ruthless when she wants to be. ]

I will do my best. [It will be terrible.]
