"I understand." Here's a mage who is reasonable about her fears rather than willing to toss them all away for certain shelter. Templars are abusive. Sacrificing freedom and true safety for an illusion of safety is no trade at all.

"As of now, there's only one Templar I'd even allow close to it, one who admits he was part of the problem and that there's blood on his hands. He says he wishes to atone, and I believe him. The rest? They're not ready. They still believe they did things right, and I alone did things wrong. If they can't accept their own failings, they will never be ready to help mages."
