I...

[He trails off and there's a few moments of silence before:]

...Are you trying to tell a joke? I could give you a few pointers, for the future, but it may be a little... Um. Obscure?

[exequy]

I do not tell jokes.

[ Sort of. Do snide comments count as jokes? ]

This is advice from our Knight-Commander.

Which would be why I was allowing for you to be very bad at them. I was not exactly prepared to allow for him to be... to think that would... There was more to it, certainly. Unless it was 'four men with swords to every mage before they have a chance to become an abomination?' I've heard that one.

[His voice goes a little deeper, mocking an unknown speaker.]

"If all the mages are dead we'll never have any problems with abominations! Or mages! They're curses anyway!"

[His voice goes back to normal.]

Something like that?

[exequy]

[ They are curses though. Curses with feelings. ]

No. Nothing like that. But he did specify that four men in a compass point formation would work only for a single, normal, not overly monstrous abomination.

[justice_is_blond]

[Narrative text for yourself dude. He's totally not a curse. Karl's fine, Hawke's fine, Nate absolutely didn't get his throat slit...]

I... see.

[He doesn't. Clearly.]

He's... He's tried this? And what's a normal, not overly monstrous one? Do the ones that are basically spraying fire everywhere count?

[exequy]

I don't know. I suppose it is possible he was lying, to tease me. Or because he is lying about being a Templar altogether.

[justice_is_blond]

[Slowly:]

I've seen him use Templar abilities. ...What Circle is he from? Do we have any mages who can confirm he was a Knight Commander and not like Alistair, someone who trained for a time and then went elsewhere?

[exequy]

I do not think the Chantry usually permitted people to leave, after they started taking lyrium.

[ That was half the point, Kostos The Loyalist will not say—a leash. But it doesn't completely rule anything out. ]

He is from somewhere in the Marches. Markham? Ostwick? Beleth would know.

[justice_is_blond]

Every now and then the Grey Wardens have a say in where people go. But I truly don't think Norrington's a Warden. He seems very dedicated to the Templar... everything.

[It's not a compliment. Templars are the wrong thing to be very dedicated to, in his opinion.]

I think it unlikely that he's not a Templar. I also... I don't know that he'd lie to tease so much. I don't know, Kostos. There must be some simple explanation, like he's... tired? Or maybe he's simply not good with strategy and was trying to cover up for it.
