Christine does not flinch at his accusations. How can she, when she believes the same?
"Yes, I do not deny it. Those in the Hinterlands were twisted, corrupted. They ruined the chance for peace with their cowardice. You see, you and I both have ideals we cling to, and there are others of our number who will undo all we hope to accomplish." And yet she still feels those mages were driven to it all by their treatment in the Circles. "No apprentice enters the Circle wanting to maim and murder. Wanting to convort with demons. And yet under the watchful eye of Templars, some mages' hearts turn cold."
The Tranquil make Christine uneasy too. "And why do they fear for themselves?" she questions. It all goes back to the Templars, the Chantry, and those who have always pushed mages down. "Yes, I was aware, because I grew up alongside a few who requested it, fearful of having to face a demon. They chose a living death over real death."
She commits his name to memory. A Knight-Commander should be easy to recognize when she questions some of the Ferelden mages. Surely they can tell her more about the type of man he is. But really, has he earned the right to any name at all, after insulting her and calling her many names?
"Would you use it, if I gave it? It seems you have already coined a title for me."
