[She chuckles.] Sometimes it's easier to fit in when everyone is one kind of misfit or another.

[And then she listens.] Indeed. Sometime when things are difficult, the right-now is easier to deal with than the what-could-be, though. Farmers and their crops and keeping them safe.

But that's the point, I think, of people like the Grey Wardens and the Harpers - remembering the dangers, keeping an eye open, keeping the knowledge of how to fight them for when it's needed, and that little bit of hope that you won't need to use it again, because the enemy will no longer be returning to fight. The Anderfels you speak of - they need your order, and I would imagine it's hard even there when you're needed and unopposed.

I hope your order can someday lay down its burden. But history - well, my world's, at least - shows there will always be a need for those who stand apart and keep watch and protect.

[She raises a mug to him.]

To the Grey Wardens: may their sacrifices be rewarded.
