It's a nice thought, but I have things left undone in Thedas that are my responsibility. It's not that I want to go back - it's not really that I don't either, I'm just...
[Wolfe trails off, not certain how to even express what he's feeling. He breathes in deeply through his nose and lets the breath out slowly through slightly pursed lips, trying to calm his mind enough to center it, but an answer isn't forthcoming even with that.]
I'm tired. I want to settle down, have a family, not have to fall all over myself to right every wrong on the Maker's green earth, but some of those wrongs are my fault, and I have an obligation.
[He's very still as he explains, different from his usual jovial demeanor. There's a stalwart undercurrent to his demeanor when he talks like this, not heroic but certainly solid and all parts mature. Such a contrast to the man who will shamelessly roll around in the mud with his dog at a moment's notice.]

I owe it to my world to do what I can.
