[Now there's an edge to his voice, Justice's influence and his own frustrations.]
I am a mage too. And I've saved more lives than I've taken, no matter how much of the war is put at my feet. I refuse to quiet down because some care to only see a part of the picture. They are wrong. I am not killer alone, and I will look into this.
We, the mages can take hold of our future rather than hiding and hoping no one takes it from us. Or hope no one sells it for her own glory, ambition, and luxuries.
[There's a specific person in mind there, but no one who has been around him long can fail to know his thoughts on Vivienne.]
I can't sit and hide and hope things pass so I can help. I get attacked for simply walking past; there will be no end to that. I will work. And I will not cower.
[Not any longer. Less fear, less moping, less letting people push him around. He is alive, his crimes are dealt with legally, and he will move forward.]
