Justice and I left the Wardens, thanks. A former Templar getting himself Joined, just happening to be sent on every job I got assigned? Andraste's tits, why not just chuck darkspawn into the nearest Circle and send me there? The effect was about the same, and the company not nearly as friendly.

Wouldn't even let me keep my cat. They claimed it made me 'too soft'. Soft! After the sorts of places I'd been with you, and the things we'd killed. More likely they'd heard the jokes that Pounce was my familiar, and took that for true, never mind magic doesn't actually work that way. Not the magic I know.

Of course, the Joining can't be undone. I'm a Warden where it counts. [In his veins, mainly.] For purposes of public record, though, I'm fairly sure I'm seen as an apostate. Possibly one who ran away from the Wardens, if any story keeps the Warden connection.
