Wardens came together, for the greater good -- and Bethany had always found it a little harder to have the bonds she had within that second year of Kirkwall.

There were precious few Bethany would call as good as family. The Kirkwall gang? Always, always family.

Bethany was all there - a few years older, and she looked a bit tired around the edges, but she was all there. She beamed at the elf, then took her by the arm. "No, you haven't gone wandering off and missed me calling out to you a half a dozen times. Come on, I want to steal you for breakfast and hear all about this month here."
