"I'm a Grey Warden. We stand against the Darkspawn. There isn't retirement, or staying home with the cat. There will be at least two more Blights where they multiply horribly and pour out from the underground." A beat. "But it's all right. Not that the Blights are coming, but that there's no retirement in my old age. Or old age."
Considering his two very poor choices - letting Justice in, and going along with the destruction of the Chantry - that he's getting as much as he is is astounding. He has love, friends, a future, a cat, and even hope.
"All I can ask for is that the Circles never return, and that the treatment doesn't resume. There are people who want them back. But if enough mages see what freedom can offer, if enough mages refuse to return, they can't force it."
