[12:25:20 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: "He would be dead by now"
says Duncan, looking at them sadly
"You will die too, there is only so much the keeper can do to stop the taint. If you become a grey warden you will be cured"
[12:25:36 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: She's shattered
[12:25:42 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: her world has fallen down around her

[12:26:12 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: "he might still be out there"
[12:26:20 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: "if i become a grey warden i can look for him"

[12:27:25 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: when you become a grey warden all ties to your former life must be cut
[12:27:56 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: there will be no more clan, no more keeper, no more sweet story times around the fire
[12:28:00 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: only blood and war and death
[12:28:34 AM] APEX PURRDATOR: her face is grim, her bow strung and slung across her back
