I think Leliana was trying to think of a more tactful term then spymaster. That's how I interpreted it.
Fair enough. But what about here:
Cassandra: "Enough power poured into that mark..."
Cullen: "...might destroy us all."
Cullen should have been MUCH more forceful and quick to cut her off. Instead, it was such an awkward transition I wondered whether Cassandra was lyrium addled...
Here's another example:
Cullen: "The Templars could suppress the Breach, weaken it so..."
(Inquisitor [thinking] "So... What? Were you going to finish that thought?")
Leliana [Oops, I missed my cue!] "...Pure speculation!"
Honestly, most of that dialogue was cringeworthy.
But I suppose this is off topic.
