I was Born for This

Zoltan nodded about Maeve’s brother, love did drive people to do crazy things. At least this crazy thing would have the benefit of helping thousands upon thousands of individuals. Imagine, getting to choose to be a Grey Warden simply because one wanted to, and not because the choices were that or death, whether because of the taint or because the person in question was a criminal sentenced to hang, the result was the same.

Well, the burden of leadership is definitely tiresome. I feel the same way about King, er, Lord Chancellor Garryn. Every time I see him, he seems more and more tired, and now that the Blights are over, many of his people want to try and return home to retake Orzammar. I don’t believe Garryn is too Keen on leaving the Free Marches, but he’s made a life for himself there in the time he’s been there. Truth be told, Zoltan imagined Garryn would be a lot happier not ruling anything, but he also felt obligated to his people, and that wasn’t something he could easily turn his back on.
