[Anders doesn't understand. As much as perhaps Bruce can't understand Anders in turn either, in some ways. Anders may have Justice and his problems with it but it will never be anything like the problems that he faces everyday. They may in the same boat but they are also worlds apart at the same time.]
I have my reasons for the life I choose. [Depending on magic, relying on it - those are the things that makes mages what they are and a mage is what Bruce doesn't want to be, despite nature telling him to. He doesn't want to be what nature dictates, refuses to be as such, and he'll do anything to go against it. A proof to himself that he can be more than what others believe him to be.] I'm not going to compromise my morals.
