[The only thing that keeps her from finally losing patience with him is the simple fact that he isn't saying anything she hasn't heard from Solas now. Solas had tended to frame it with a little less hostility, but in the end it's the same thing.]

Some of us try to see things the way they are. It does no one any benefit to assume one thing is true of an entire people. My clan may have handled magic users that way, but they weren't all kind. I met a woman who had been cast out of her clan as a child, left to fend for herself because she was one mage too many for them. My clan was tolerant, but hers?

[But this is verging towards the obviously sensitive topic of his past, and it feels a little like navigating around ice mines. One wrong step and she has no doubt he'll freeze her out completely and she has absolutely no desire to see that happen. She likes Fenris, and she doesn't want to upset him by making light of what he had suffered.]

I believe that the Circles could do good, if they were managed in the same way across Thedas. Mages should be protected, from outside forces just as much as from themselves. In the same way one Dalish clan can treat mages well, another can leave them to die and from what I understand, some Circles behave in the same way with not many mages knowing it could even be different for them. There's just something about that that seems wrong, to me. Everyone has the right to live comfortably with themselves and who they are.

[And she is absolutely not drunk enough to be having this conversation.]

[wolfuncaged]

I have no doubt each clan deals with the issue differently.

[The fact she doesn't try to belittle his suffering works well for her. That was, ultimately, one of Anders' biggest mistakes.]

Hmm. They need not be badly treated. They simply need to be kept safe from everyone, including themselves. Magic is dangerous, and needs to be treated as such. If such precautions were taken, I would feel much more at ease with the way the Circles are currently run.

[Oh. Well, here she was gearing up for something more than that, but it's a nice surprise she doesn't have to worry about an argument.]

I'm glad we think similarly about that much, then. I'd hate to think you'd prefer to see me in chains.

[wolfuncaged]

I do not want to see anyone in chains. There is a vast difference, between complete freedom and that.

[He exhales, frowning at the floor.]

I just don't want to see the rest of Thedas follow Tevinter's example.

[dawnwillcome]

[She snorts, actually snorts, and drains the last of her drink.]

That's not something you have to worry about, I promise.

[With the world looking to her to set the new rules about how mages and templars interact, there's no doubt in Jove's mind she'll do everything in her power to keep Thedas from looking anything like Tevinter does, in every way that counts.]

Do you want another drink? I think we need more drinks.

[She'll just wave her hand to take care of that.]

[wolfuncaged]

I certainly hope so. Dorian seems adamant on change, but I am not convinced on how successful he will be.

[There's a ghost of a smile. ]

I would not refuse such an offer, thank you.
