I preferred the old books better. [This thing is being folded every which way, because they just had to make this thing harder to use.] At least you knew where you stood with them. The old books never changed; they might never have been easy to use, but they you knew what you were supposed to do with them.

[Is he talking about the book, still? Maybe, maybe not.] With all this talk of the Initiative and the United Earth issues, there's been something that's come up several times. Something I would be worried about, and so should others.

Traitors. Those who turned away from the goal right when their colleagues needed them most. Or the ones who never came to help in the first place, though they said they would. Traitors also includes liars. Yes. Liars. The ones who never tell the truth, especially when the truth could be the information you needed the most.

[He's getting exasperated with this new book.] I wonder, how did everyone else treat liars back home? In Ferelden, we had several ways of punishing those that had committed crimes against the crown, or those who'd lied and were caught. Some of them seemed rather harsh, but if someone who steals loses a finger, why not have the liar lose something as well? Something they value, something close to them, so that they can be hurt as much as they have hurt those around them.

So, how should we treat those liars, here? If we find traitors, what do we do with them? A mock execution, whipping, leaving them bound and gagged in a small room? Killing them would just be too merciful for what they've done, wouldn't it? [He pauses.]

Andraste's foul breath, this new book is more difficult then the other! [Okay, he's done with this book thing. With a yell, he throws it across the room.]

[Oh look, that's what she heard, too. Familiar meets familiar. ]

Fair enough. But it's not all about keeping you behind glass, I imagine. This world isn't just a second chance, it's a clean slate. For all of us.

Maybe there wasn't a point in focusing on what you had-- or what you'd lost. Maybe it was about keeping what you have here full of...oh, I don't know, hope. Eyes fixed on the future and all that.

[ohmygodgreywardens]

Hope is something I usually have in spades. [Right now, though, he feels like all hope is lost.]

I feel... silly. I've been telling people what I'm going to change when I am sent home, but it doesn't matter now, does it.

[totallytrustworthy]

No need for that, the clothing you lot wear is embarrassing enough. [Seriously, though]

I suppose it doesn't, but it's also a bit silly to focus on where you were compared to where you are, isn't it? Better to think about the difference you can make here instead.

You know, if you're into heroics and all that.

What's wrong with my clothing? [What's wrong with it!?]

That... is true! It would be rather heroic to change this place, wouldn't it?
