I would never ask you to take his life. If it can be avoided, all the better. If not - I will not leave that to you to burden yourself with.
[Carefully, Leliana folds her hands beneath her chin, as if in prayer. She honestly wishes there was another way - that Anders did not have to die, nor Justice. If she had to choose between their lives and the lives of those who are uncorrupted by their figurative and literal demons and Anders who was off the beaten path... she chose the innocents caught in the middle because it was the right thing to do.]
Anders is a good man, albeit a troubled one. I am not a mage but I feel frustrated on his behalf. Mages are like anyone else - made up of good and bad people. They aren't things. They've got feelings and passions like any other of the Maker's children. Mages who turn to blood magic or possession do so because they see no other options left to them. If I could single handedly change the Chantry or the Templar Order I would. But that... is a thought for another time. I apologize I let my own passion get the better of me.
[She scrubs a hand over her face, feeling tired as well.]
I only ask because you are the first lead I have come upon. I don't want to leave the situation idle until it is too late. Not again.
