Yessss, Garahel absolutely love belly-rubs. Inessa smirks a little, just watching her spoiled mabari and knowing how shameless he can be. "Now he'll expect belly rubs whenever he sees you, you've warned.

I've been a Warden for about a year and a half. When the Circle tower fell, I left to seek them. Grey Wardens saved my tower from destruction, during the Blight. I suppose I wanted to repay them ever since, but it's also more than that. They have a purpose, and even outside a blight it matters." And then the sheen of that idealism wore away somewhat at Weisshaupt, but that's not a subject she's ready to dwell on longer than to say that it happened.
