1	6243106	
2	6243108	Father?
3	6243109	
4	6243111	It <emp>is</emp> Father.
5	6258381	
6	6258383	Father?
7	6243112	
8	6243114	I've bought our freedom, Leandra. We can go home now, us and the baby. We'll be together.
9	6243115	
10	6243117	I hope it takes after you, love. I would wish this magic on no one.
11	6243118	
12	6243120	May they never learn what I've done here.
13	6255905	
14	6255907	
15	6243121	
16	6261389	
17	6261390	
18	6236915	He was talking about you. Mother must have been pregnant with you when they left Kirkwall.
19	6236916	
20	6261392	He didn't want to pass magic to a child. And then he had me. He'd hate what I've become.
21	6261393	So he had doubts. He trained you so you'd be able to handle things like this.
22	6261395	But he didn't want any of us to follow to places like this. And here I am.
23	6261396	
24	6261398	Yes, surviving more than any ten people could.
25	6261399	
26	6261401	Or should. Father wanted us free, but I'm not. I endure. None of this is what I want.
27	6261432	
28	6261402	This memory is decades old. You know he loved you, he trained you.
29	6261572	To avoid exactly this.
30	6261573	
31	6261575	To be able to deal with it. You can't avoid life.
32	6261576	
33	6261578	Or change it, it seems. How much of this was truly in my control? Or anybody's?
34	6261579	
35	6261404	What you've become is a lot more impressive than what you almost became, which was dead.
36	6261581	Look at the horrors around us. Sometimes dead is preferable.
37	6261582	
38	6261584	Father didn't believe that, and neither do you. Not really.
39	6261585	
40	6261587	I'm not sure what I believe anymore. I endure because I can, but is this what I want?
41	6261588	
42	6261434	And the Maker allows it.
43	6261435	If there's anything to the Maker, He seems to favor bold action. Father knew this.
44	6261502	All but required, given the enemies put before us. Seen and unseen.
45	6261503	
46	6261437	It all has meaning. If we can't see it yet, that doesn't mean it's not there.
47	6261439	You haven't seen the things I've seen.
48	6261440	
49	6261442	Father must have asked the same questions I do. And I won't be the last who doubts.
50	6261549	
51	6261551	
52	6261552	
53	6261554	After Mother... I need a thread to my old life so I can think clearly about this. Not these whispers.
54	6261555	
55	6261557	Whatever has passed between us, you're my connection. And this mess needs to end.
56	6261558	But I need this thread to my old life. For Mother, for Carver's memory. Father. Yes, you too.
57	6261559	
58	6261561	Maybe not Gamlen.
59	6261562	
60	6261564	Come on, we need to end this.
61	6261443	Bethany...
62	6261506	<desc>Laughs</desc> Carver's jig.
63	6261618	
64	6261620	The antidote for every skinned knee, dead pet, and broken toy.
65	6261621	
66	6261671	I miss him. He tried so hard.
67	6261672	
68	6261623	I miss you. And Mother. And now Father, again.
69	6261624	
70	6261626	I miss you and Mother. And now Father, again.
71	6261627	
72	6261629	And I can't come back until... everything is done. Starting here.
73	6261406	If he didn't want his child to be a mage, it never showed in my training. They say as much in the Circle.
74	6261407	What else have they learned from you?
75	6261692	I've said nothing, but I can't hide what Father taught me. And I shouldn't.
76	6261693	
77	6261695	Most who come to the Circle late, they're fit for Tranquil and little else.
78	6261696	
79	6261698	But Father was no hedge mage.
80	6261699	
81	6261701	Apparently I am very well trained. And after seeing this... he gave up so much so we could be normal.
82	6261702	
83	6261674	He didn't want us to face similar risk because of him. Magic by itself isn't the danger.
84	6261711	But he was hiding all of this, and he had the skill to defend it. My instructors keep remarking on how well I was trained.
85	6261899	
86	6261901	I had no comparison when we were growing up, but now...
87	6261902	
88	6261904	Sometimes I wonder why he gave up so much to try to make our lives normal.
89	6262118	
90	6261676	The voice is decades old. He couldn't expect every word to stay relevant for the ages.
91	6261712	Maybe. But he had so much shame. And for what?
92	6261713	
93	6261715	Uh, dark deals at a terrible cost?
94	6261716	
95	6261718	Well, on the surface. But he gave up so much so we could be normal.
96	6262120	
97	6261704	I feel guilty for all that you and Carver put up with. It makes me wish I'd gone to the Circle sooner. To free you.
98	6261707	The Circle has its uses, but Father knew you shouldn't be forced to join.
99	6261891	Well, I messed that up.
100	6261892	
101	6261894	Maybe. You could disappear. Not go back.
102	6262136	
103	6262138	No. No, it feels... comfortable for now. I miss... so much, but not because I'm there.
104	6262139	
105	6261705	Father didn't want to segregate people because of magic.
106	6261887	Some people are different, and they can't help it.
107	6261888	
108	6261890	Everyone's different. We're better for it.
109	6262122	
110	6262218	<desc>Laughs</desc> If it was only that easy.
111	6262219	
112	6262129	Do I get a say in how much I want to be protected? Having you around would be worth some risk.
113	6262222	<desc>Laughs</desc> I do miss this. Maybe not the craziness of it, but feeling like a family...
114	6262223	
115	6262141	You may not have been a mage, but you're a lot like Father, you know?
116	6262225	
117	6262227	Don't lose that. Not over this. Or anything to come. We've lost too much.
118	6236918	He never wanted a mage child.
119	6236942	He just never wanted you to suffer like he did.
120	6236919	Father loved you, Bethany.
121	6236921	Not like how he was with you.
122	6236922	
123	6236924	He was scared. He felt like it was his fault you'd spend the rest of your life being hunted.
124	6236925	
125	6236944	I know, it's just... a lot of times, I wish I'd never been born with magic, that we could have had a normal life.
126	6236945	
127	6236947	But... it's beautiful, too. Feeling the mana swirling inside you, shaping it to your will.
128	6236948	
129	6236950	I always wanted to share that side of it with him. I miss him.
130	6236927	Give me a break. You think he wanted Carver?
131	6236929	<desc>Laughs</desc> You are so bad!
132	6236930	
133	6236932	Do you remember when Carver ran away and enlisted in King Cailan's army at fifteen?
134	6236933	
135	6236935	He came clanking back in so much armor he could barely lift his legs.
136	6236936	
137	6236938	Father didn't know whether to burst with pride or lock him in the cellar.
138	6236939	
139	6236941	I miss them both so much.
140	6236970	Father would hate knowing we were targeted because of what he did here. Let's put an end to it.
141	6236972	You're right.
142	6236973	
143	6236951	
144	6236953	He's with Carver now.
145	6236954	
146	6236956	They're together now.
147	6236957	
148	6236959	At least I have you.
149	6236960	
150	6236962	What? Uncle Gamlen doesn't give you that same fuzzy feeling?
151	6236964	Maker be merciful and never let Gamlen have children.
152	6236965	
153	6236967	Sorry to get all maudlin. It's just... hearing Father's voice. I'm better now.
154	6236968	
155	6236975	You're so much like him. I know you'd never let anything happen to me. Or Mother.
156	6236976	
157	6237437	
158	6237438	
159	6237440	Father didn't want a child with magic? He got that one wrong twice over.
160	6237441	
161	6262508	
162	6262509	
163	6262313	
164	6262245	
165	6262247	I guess the templar's not such a disappointment now.
166	6262252	I guess the Warden's looking pretty good right about now.
167	6262253	
168	6262255	And with that, the goodwill of our reunion vanishes.
169	6262373	Look, I didn't mean... no, you're right. I'll just stop talking.
170	6262377	
171	6262379	Praise be.
172	6262380	
173	6262382	Stop that. I agreed.
174	6262383	
175	6262385	Good.
176	6262386	
177	6262388	You don't always need the last word.
178	6262389	
179	6262391	
180	6262392	
181	6262394	
182	6262395	
183	6262397	Good.
184	6262398	
185	6262257	
186	6262258	
187	6262260	He sure didn't show any regret back home. The attention he gave you and Bethany... 
188	6262268	
189	6262270	Well, I guess he figured the worst that could happen to me was tripping on my sword.
190	6262335	Carver, shouldn't all this make you want to, I don't know, offer a reason for joining the order?
191	6262337	I have to defend the one moment I stopped waiting and did something?
192	6262338	
193	6262340	If you wanted to spite me...
194	6262341	
195	6262343	I'd hoped those wounds were at least scabbed. It wasn't you. It never was.
196	6262344	
197	6262346	No! See, right there is the problem. For the longest time, I thought it was you, but it wasn't.
198	6262347	
199	6262349	We spent so long running, and why? Because of magic, the Blight, money, <emp>and abuses</emp>.
200	6262350	
201	6262352	Well I'm no mage, I'm no Warden, and <emp>you didn't need me</emp>. But maybe... maybe there's one thing I <emp>can</emp> do.
202	6262353	
203	6262355	Father believed in a templar. Why can't I?
204	6262356	For more than me. And <emp>you</emp>.
205	6262357	I don't believe you.
206	6262359	I know. And I don't care.
207	6262360	
208	6262362	Let's just end this. It was a bad idea to even come here.
209	6262363	It was a kick in the teeth. I'm not sure I can get past that.
210	6262365	Well, then we both have work to do.
211	6262366	
212	6262368	So, I should be proudly angry or something?
213	6262370	I don't know. I really don't. But I can <emp>do</emp> something now. Or at least try.
214	6262371	
215	6262271	
216	6262374	Like we've seen in here, what my kind have to deal with every day is just beyond you.
217	6262375	
218	6262316	Yes, that is the excuse your lot tend to trot out.
219	6262317	
220	6262288	That does loom heavy, but everything's in the shadow of the Blight.
221	6262289	
222	6262319	Maker, it's like we're back in Lothering, sniping for no reason.
223	6262292	
224	6262273	He knew you didn't need protecting. You were the strongest of us.
225	6262294	Sure, it's easy to believe that now. But I think... I just wanted to help.
226	6262295	
227	6262275	You did trip on your sword. A lot.
228	6262277	My weapon's not a walking stick. And the first time I wore armor it was like strapping a topsy water barrel to my head.
229	6262278	
230	6262280	Just as dangerous as your demons. Sort of.
231	6262281	
232	6262283	I did worry sometimes, for you two. Bethany just wanted to be "normal." As if I made a good case for it.
233	6262284	And thanks to that kind of backtracking, most of us are gone.
234	6262303	Including you, templar.
235	6262304	
236	6262306	Including you, Warden.
237	6262307	
238	6262312	I suppose it's best if we just clear this up and go our separate ways.
239	6262286	She knew what we could be. Glad to see you're starting to see it too.
240	6262320	We'll see, I suppose.
241	6262321	
242	6262244	
243	6262314	
244	6262326	
245	6262327	
246	6262323	
247	6262324	
248	6237462	He can't have meant it. Sure, he respected my name, but you and Bethany were the favorites. Weren't you?
249	6237443	He can't have meant it. You and Bethany, you were his favorites. Weren't you?
250	6237444	The amount of complaining you do, I wouldn't have blamed him.
251	6237446	It wasn't easy being outside your little guild, you know!
252	6237447	
253	6237564	And no, inside was probably no better. But even if father didn't want you to have magic, you still had that connection.
254	6237577	
255	6237579	I know my name, but it was still from outside.
256	6237580	I was always outside.
257	6237583	Carver, you're the strongest of us. You didn't need protecting. He knew that.
258	6237586	Right, outside with the dog. But you had no leash. Not like we did.
259	6237450	You can't believe that.
260	6237452	Maybe not. But you had your little guild and I didn't really meet the requirements.
261	6237453	
262	6237456	Only relative to his disappointment for you. Of course we weren't his favorites!
263	6237458	All right, all right, but you did have your little mage guild.
264	6237459	
265	6237455	I suppose he knew it would be dangerous for you. That templars were the least of the problems.
266	6237474	
267	6237476	Bethany didn't like it. Did you know? She wished she was "normal." Like me.
268	6237596	We heard the voice of our father. Maybe today isn't about Carver.
269	6237612	Fine. Let's just get this over with, whatever it's all about.
270	6237617	
271	6237663	Father started this, I'll finish it. Good enough?
272	6237598	Sounds like the only one arguing about it is you.
273	6237641	I suppose so. It's just... it's hard to think about how much is gone.
274	6237642	
275	6237626	As far as we get, they're still gone. I'm tired of losing things.
276	6237648	
277	6237650	Can we just... I want to get this over with.
278	6237600	Nobody thinks you're normal, don't worry about that.
279	6237629	<desc>Laughs</desc> Fine, I suppose I deserved that.
280	6237630	
281	6262261	
282	6262262	
283	6262329	I miss her and Father. And Mother. You sometimes.
284	6262330	
285	6262332	I miss her and Father. Mother's food. You sometimes.
286	6262333	
287	6262264	Gamlen can go suck an egg.
288	6262265	
289	6262267	Come on. This mess down here, it's not following us out.
290	6237632	I miss her. And Father.
291	6237633	
292	6237635	All of this, it doesn't matter. We need to stay together. For them.
293	6237647	Without them, it's like the family is going different directions. And maybe that isn't the worst thing.
294	6238182	
295	6258384	"The baby?" He... he's talking about me. All those things he did, he did for us, for his family.
296	6258546	
297	6258705	It must be overwhelming to hear your father's voice again. How are you feeling?
298	6258757	Your father seemed like a wise man who loved you all. What is it like, to hear his voice again?
299	6258758	You can just tell how much he loved you. Hearing him again must be strange, but wonderful.
300	6258759	It must be strange hearing your father's voice again. Are you feeling all right?
301	6258760	Hope you're handling this all right. Hearing a dead parent's voice might be a little... difficult.
302	6258392	Are you all right? That was... a lot to hear out of the blue.
303	6258706	
304	6258708	Father always liked popping out of nowhere to startle us children. It would make us scream with laughter.
305	6258709	
306	6258711	It's nice to know that hasn't changed.
307	6258761	
308	6258713	This was an amazing experience. I'll never forget it.
309	6258763	
310	6258714	Mother should've been here. And Bethany. Carver. I should not have been the only one to hear his voice.
311	6258765	<desc>Sighs</desc> Let's just move on.
312	6258766	
313	6258719	
314	6258722	It's just a memory. It doesn't mean anything anymore.
315	6258768	
316	6258723	This happened years ago. No sense in letting it get to me.
317	6258770	
318	6258772	Let's go.
319	6258773	
320	6260870	
321	6270666	
322	6270667	
323	6270669
