Templars even wrote home? Desi supposed they would have to unless they wanted to leave only silence for their families until a reprieve from duty presented itself. Many of them seemed about as stuck in the Tower as the mages were, though he could only assume that most were there by choice, or at least something closer to a choice than what the apprentices had. Irregardless, their affiliation with the Chantry was enough for Desi to have made a habit of giving them a hard time, albeit not a lethal time.
"Tedious, but it keeps a caged mage sane," he said. "It's good that you've left them in the ashes, I think I might just be thoughtless enough to try sneaking them onto a mail coach. ...Or maybe not, I can't say I liked the mages there all that much."
Desi figured the senior mages were either recalled to support the wardens or merely because they'd landed themselves in a pot of boiling water--in either case, he could only hope it wouldn't matter for him one way or the other. "Wouldn't the templars follow the mages if they've been recalled? They can hardly be watchmen without anyone to watch in Denerim."
