You forget something very basic, gentlemen. [And this is said with all due courtesy, and coldness.] To execute him would be too harsh for the crime - I myself have only executed rogue templars when they have committed murder and rape. To throw him out of the Order, in the condition that he is in? Would be reckless endangerment to any innocent person who he comes across.

[He leans forward, shooting a pointed look at the Seekers, and then over at Cade.] You admit to blacking out. You admit that combat triggers these states of non-awareness. Yet you are still a Templar. And a Templar deserves a Templar punishment deserving of the crime.

[He presses his fingers together, looking more thoughtful.] We have removed his weapons. Why not remove his standing as well? It is a dereliction of duty, after all. From Lieutenant, back regular rank. [He pauses.] And since this is going to strain our relationship with the Dalish, I suggest that we offer him as labor to the Dalish.

[He looks from Alayre, then to the Seekers.] A broken sword is no use if you just throw it away.
