Before Justice, Anders would have agreed with everything Fate is saying. He'd respected Karl's outrage and the frustration of many mages, but all he'd wanted to do was run and stay away.
How young he'd been.
Anders takes a breath, reminding Justice that launching into a lecture on what all mages should be doing would be the opposite of helpful, here.
"We could change things. We could win our freedom, if mages stand together. The Templars can deal with divided forces, especially as the Chantry will do nearly anything they can to get them back. But united, we're a force to be reckoned with. We need to unite most of us, agree on some things we'll not compromise on, and move forward. We could make this lasting. Permanent."
And maybe fifty years from now one of them could walk about not worrying about scowls or worse due to what they are.
"Life is short and most of us will be forgotten," though Anders likely won't be that lucky, "but we can make a change that will last for Ages. Then we'd truly be a step ahead of events."
