"In the act itself? Maybe not. But as a catalyst for justice for the mages? It was the only way I could see. There was supposed to be justice for those sacrificed, but if I'm still alive to see my first task through, then that can wait. Or...I would, if I were still in Thedas." He shifts his weight from foot to foot, touches the gun again without picking it up. "I only want to help here in whatever way I can, Aveline. That's all I've ever wanted."
