He listened and watched attentively, what she had to say on the matter was important to him. If his crimson Queen, who was kind, selfless, and compassionate, wished to not have been graced with her abilities then who was he to pursue abilities of his own.
She did not regret the abilities themselves but the hurt she caused with the actions of her abilities. That is what tore at her slowly, it seemed. He nodded in understanding as she spoke of the simplicity of healing compared to the magic that flowed through her now. She had always been a protector, healing those who had been injured or sick. At the revelation of this knowledge Jakub offered a soft smile.
The thought of Leliana healing did not surprise him. Her actions against Loess were valid, but whether she was trying to protect those that had been taken or those that would be taken in the future every action has a reaction and hers caused great loss. He could see in her eyes how much that alone affected her.
If you could do it all over again knowing now the harm that came from the war, would you have stood back and let Loess continue with their ways knowing that many innocents would suffer instead of taking action and protecting and standing up for them like you did? he did not ask this question with the purpose of making her feel her pain more deeply, but only because it was a question he needed to know.
Peace was not a utopia that came with out harm. There is bad and good in the world and both sides will always suffer in the battle of morals, with the innocent stuck in between. Unfortunately the bad seemed to have powers that were untouchable to the innocents of both sides, and Jakub was searching for a way to defend those innocents.

and out he came, holding his brothers heel
