At least this one's first name was known. So many died for nothing, with no one knowing their names, and it's worse than a waste. There had been a reason and a survivor knows the mage's name. It's a start.

Solas is a name Anders makes mental note of. If he's a mage as well, then that's one mage who is free to come and go as he pleases and it's a good sign. But he also likely had to do something to gain that freedom, and Anders would like to find out what. For now, there's a question to answer, and the look on Anders' face goes very wry.

"They do that to mages. Did, for quite some time. And if the Templars get their way, they'll do it again. All I can hope is that they don't get their way, that I can help stand in the way of that. We're people. We deserve freedom, and the same rights as every other person. One day everyone will have to acknowledge this."

He takes a breath and looks past Jamie. "At least it sounds like they decided rounding your people up was a poor decision."
