"I've heard a lot of over-the-top nugshit in my time, salroka, but I'll tell you--this might be the first time I've watched a human scramble up onto the martyr's pyre that fast. You'd best climb down," he adds, his look hardening. "I don't think Andraste needs the company."

Then he turns and walks out, shutting the door behind him with more force than necessary.
