I saw this post and just had to do the merry band reactions lol
Alistair: "Joining the Wardens is an honor, not a punishment!"
Declan Aeducan, who is deeply regretting his decision to join and realised he could have just made his own way on the surface:
"Are those your words, or someone else's?"
Amos Brosca, noticing how only the desperate are being recruited:
"I thought so too, at first, but on reflection it's clear we were recruited because we are disposable."
Connor Cousland, who was coerced into joining the wardens under the threat of leaving his mother to die:
*completely speechless, there are no words*
Adelene Surana, irritated by the stupidity of such a claim given the experiences of the others and that Aeonar was beginning to look appealing in comparison:
"I mean this with all possible offence, are you stupid?"
Eden Amell, finding the whole conversation ridiculous as joining the wardens was her literal punishment for breaking circle rules:
"Yes, Sir. A complete and total honour, Sir."
Viera Tabris, who is an unproven and unskilled fighter yet was just accepted because Duncan needed wardens:
"I think your making a bigger deal about all this than it really is."
Assana Mahariel, slowly dying from the blight as they speak and who's only hope of survival is the joining:
"Shem, this is the worse punishment imaginable. I may deserve it for abandoning Tamlen, but if I had any choice in the matter I would be home with my Clan."
