[Past] Sins of the Father

Well, she was actually asking him his side of things. That was an improvement to how some were reacting. Some didn't even care that he wasn't in Ferelden when it happened. They blamed his entire family for the sins of his father as if they had done the deed themselves. His father was dead, and they were still being punished, forced out of their home. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, ready to tell the story again for the umpteenth time.

By the time I got word about what had gone down, father had already paid for his sins with his life and my family was set out of their home. I came back to retake some of our family heirlooms, but was caught in the process. Lana chose to punish me by making me a Grey Warden, so here I am. He paused, looking her in the eyes, squarely. He wanted her to be sure he wasn't telling any tales, that his words were the bitter truth. Nothing I do can ever replace what my father took from you or make up for it. It was clear he wanted your whole family dead, and I can't fathom why. Growing up, our families seemed to get along well, it was as much a surprise to me as it was to you, but then my father sent me away over eight years ago for a reason, we've never seen eye to eye, and in the Free Marches I was out of his way.
