[He doesn't know what the crazy kid talk is, but he figures he should offer up his gossip first.]

It seems Aleron was one of the Seekers who came to Kirkwall to see if Meredith truly was going too far... and he was one of the ones who decided she was entirely fine.

[His voice is utterly disapproving. This is one of the huge factors in why things went the way they did, but no one cares and no one will care. It's safer and less scary to assume it was all one mad mage.]

A mage came up and slapped him, one of the ones he'd helped bring over from Starkhaven. She survived the slaughter of her friends at Templar hands by pure luck; almost all of those mages died horribly. The mad Templar apparently tackled her and pinned her painfully. For a slap. And then, after she'd been questioned, left in pain while pinned, he threw her. None of the three present, the mad Templar Cade, Aleron, or Bethany, did anything to help her or anything to lessen her pain.

I'm not surprised that a Templar and a Seeker would be fine with the abuse of a mage, still not surprised that they're fine with harm being done to one who had previously suffered. I am, however, disappointed in Bethany. I don't understand how she could do that.

Now what's the crazy kid talk?
