[Mage. He's always disappointed when he runs into a Loyalist. They have so much faith in a system that is set up to fail them, but they think that's the exception. Anders sighs.]

Subjugation invites bullies, and bullies protect other bullies. Even if we root out every single one who harmed a mage, we're still left with those who were silent and allowed it to happen.

[There's earnestness in his voice, a plea for Myrobalan to listen rather than an attempt to lecture.]

It should not be left up to what they will do, as they have already failed mages. It is on us to put together a system in which we are treated as people first, mages second. A system in which we truly have power, rather than First Enchanters being symbolic, because we need recourse when we are beaten, when we are punished for getting too close to someone, when we are assaulted, and so on. A system in which there is an end to Tranquility and a beginning of understanding and assistance.

I don't have the faith that you do. ...As is likely very clear. But I think we could build something that all of us could have faith in.
