"Okay, I can't argue that Avvar because -- well I don't know any Avvar. I will say that a clan of Dalish that has too many mages will kick them out and let them wander the woods with some food and a knife. Not exactly an example I wanna follow." A pause, and she states simply, "I also won't argue that. We do get along now because we're all part of the same cause - stopping Corypheus. But we're going to beat that guy, sooner or later. Then what?"
She thinks about that for a moment or two, before she states simply, "Every Templar I ever knew in Ostwick was trained to see a mage as a person first and a mage second. Although you make a good point - that 'Divine Right' shit has got to go."
Because ... no. Protect mages because it's the right thing to protect the weak, not because the Chantry told you to do it. Another soft snort, "Yeah like they're going to listen to a nineteen year old who passed her Harrowing three years ago." She looked up at Korrin again, her green eyes thoughtful, "Funny, I joined the Inquisition for the same reason -- that those of us who wanted to go to a Circle again wouldn't be forced to 'just enjoy freedom damnit.' If we're going to be free -- I think we all have a choice, don't you? You can choose to go off and do - build a home with your lover somewhere with a foxhouse -- and I can go to a Circle where my friends are safe, I am safe, and I'm doing ... good. Not because I'm being forced to follow some stupid rhetoric -- but that I truly want to be a Good Mage."
