So, you want to play. Sure, fine, I could be up for that. First, though, and don't take this the wrong way, but I really do need to know: What exactly are you planning?

I could refuse to cooperate. I'm very good at that.

I suppose I should be happy you're turning into a hypocrite. At least it's in the right direction.

I have never made my view on mages unclear-- you just insist on twisting it to further your oppression complex.

I am able to trust Hawke not to give into the lure of possession, just as I am sure there are other mages who are the same. I have met them before as fellow slaves.

However, the vast majority of mages are weak-willed and dangerous. As you yourself have proven.

And still you've killed more innocent people than I have.

People? Perhaps.

Innocent? No.

You always made sure they'd committed at least one crime beforehand, then?

If they are attacking me, then they are committing a crime.

If they are slavers, then they are committing a crime.

So yes. I do.

It must be so easy to live in a world that's black and white.

As I'm sure you know quite well.

It's not just templars I hate.

Nor I just mages.

Mages and slavers, but not templars, who do a very similar job to the slavers you despise.

Templars reign in dangerous individuals. Slavers subjugate innocent people. I see a very distinct difference here.

Sometimes I wonder if the lyrium affects your mind as well.

As a constant reminder of what you mages are capable of?

Yes.

That's hardly limited to just mages.

Maybe not.

But it doesn't change the fact that it was the mages who did it.

Can you truly see me owning a slave? Or Merrill and Bethany?

No, but I can see Merrill's path of destruction just as clearly as you.

I only wish she would listen to reason.

As much a I hate to agree with you, we both know she won't.

Unfortunately. I had hoped having her see what happens to the mages who fall to blood magic might help, but she is far too sure of herself.

She has not seen all of what happens to blood mages. Not yet.

[HINT HINT SWORD HINT]

When she turns into an abomination, we will all have to stop her.

[but not before, he won't let that happen. Much as he dislikes what she does.]

And why not prevent it from ever happening?

Because that would make me as bad as you and the templars.

[and also Hawke would put them in time out for like a year.]
