That is exactly the point. We've no reason to harm our children the way Templars did. Just because we had it harder, and apologies, I mean within the Circles, not to say anything about your experience, but just because that was harder than it is now does not mean we need to make them suffer.
We will teach and we will learn, and we will look after our own.
To be honest, I don't much relate to Circle mages. I've been a free mage my entire life. I feel like Circle mages ought to listen a bit more to those who've done it a different way, instead of pretending nobody has better answers.
You aren't. From what I know, you're not exactly a Circle mage. According to Varric's book, you tried to make that clear quite a lot of times, though they wouldn't listen.
But once they have you, they've had you, and you're Circle mage and apostate both in their eyes. Theirs, meant to be recaptured. It's a shame you left the Council, though. They could use someone with a balanced mind.
