I did not say that the Chantry as it is now should remain. It should be a place of peace and sanctuary for everyone, not simply those without power. It should be an organization that helps and does not hinder, does not destroy those who cry out for help. Mages should be free and treated as equals within and without the Chantry's walls. They should be loved and accepted as they are.
I do not believe in the Chantry; I believe in what it could be. A place of worship, an organization that heals and helps, and the foundation of the Andrastian religion.

You aren't bothering me, Anders.
[ The second message takes a slightly longer bit of time to compose, as she realizes that she's acted too hastily. ]
It's all right. Just be safe. That's what matters.
[ She hardly knows him but he doesn't deserve to be torn apart in a world that promises freedom, equality, and kindness. And so many people would worry for him beyond her, so many more would be hurt if something happened to him. ]
