[To some extent, Vivienne does feel that mages ought to be the better people. She encourages it where she might. But there are some among their numbers, like that Anders and Fiona, who instigated a conflict that mages could ill-afford. They've ever been petty and spiteful with others even within the Circles. Ice walls blocking out others from using the hall because of some perceived slight by one fraternity over another. Taking the childish bickering to the outside has created a backlash that few would wish for. Alas, most of them could have seen it being an obvious result if they'd just opened their eyes.]

Unfortunately, having a mage among us known to have blown up a Chantry full of innocents does little to aid the cause of cooperation and understanding.

[There is a little flick of her hand; Vivienne doesn't care to waste time giving the terrorist thought or consideration more than necessity demands.]

If you have any further problems, do let me know. I'll do what I can to ensure you are treated with fairness and respect.

[She can remain cranky with him, but she'll not have him bullied for having magic.]
