Sebastian Vael/Dialogue

Sebastian and Anders

 * Anders: Is that supposed to be Andraste's face on your crotch?
 * Sebastian: What?
 * Anders: That... belt buckle thing. Is that Andraste?
 * Sebastian: My father had this armor commissioned when I took my vows as a brother.
 * Anders: I'm just not sure I'd want the Maker seeing me shove His Bride's head between my legs every morning.


 * Sebastian: You seem very angry.
 * Anders: And here I thought the Chantry was against mind-reading.
 * Sebastian: Did something happen to you in the Circle? I understand there were problems in Ferelden...
 * Anders: Are you saying a mage can only be unhappy in the Circle if demons involved? No, it's not about Uldred.  It's not about being beaten or raped by a templar - that does happen, but I've been fortunate.  It' s a larger principle: the freedom every man, woman, and child born in Thedas have as a natural right.
 * Sebastian: You were given to the Circle. I was given to the Chantry.  Hawke was driven away from home by the Darkspawn.  None of us are free.

Sebastian and Fenris

 * Sebastian: You know, when I return to Starkhaven, you're welcome to come with me.
 * Fenris: And do what, exactly?
 * Sebastian: You're a fine warrior. If you could train men to fight like you do, we'd be unstoppable.
 * Fenris: I'm no leader, and I doubt humans would want me training them.
 * Sebastian: Then why not train elves? I bet there's plenty who would admire all you've accomplished.
 * Fenris: I... haven't accomplished anything
 * Sebastian: No? You are your own man, living as you see fit - you give yourself too little credit.
 * Fenris: You are being kind.
 * Sebastian: Not at all. Think about it.


 * Sebastian: You know, Fenris, as a brother in the Chantry, I'm allowed to hear confessions.
 * Fenris: Why would you tell me this?
 * Sebastian: I know Danarius made you do things. I thought you might be more comfortable talking to a friend.  You should know, a murder committed under duress is a sin on the one who ordered it, not the one whose hands carried out the deed.
 * Fenris: Have I not spoken enough of my past? Does everyone in Kirkwall wish to hear every sordid detail?
 * Sebastian: Sometimes, it's painful to speak. But it's the only way the wound can be lanced.
