"Are you kidding me?" What even is this coming from? Is Raylan somehow jealous? Of him? "I was a farmboy. From the Anderfels. Do you know how hard it is to grow feed for cows and crops for the family in that soil? And do you know what I did for years in Kirkwall? I ran a free clinic. In Darktown. Where the people the city wanted to forget gathered. Where they'd never be able to afford some liar calling themselves a doctor, forget an actual healer from the Circle. I started poor. I have stayed poor, and I have always been focused on helping my people. But I suppose I can't expect someone who locked himself up in his rooms and ignored everyone to understand the feeling of caring for one's people."

This, right here, is someone who chooses to be blind. Who had listened to opinions while nit doing a second of legwork himself. "You want someone using politics to profit? You've got one on the Council, and she's a Loyalist willing to damn everyone around her for her own game. Ask Vivienne sometime about the mages she killed to protect her powerbase and comforts."
