Act 1 party banner:
----------------------
Bethany: So, you were in the Circle and ran away. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do that.

Anders: You've been an apostate your whole life.

Bethany: Exactly. It was never anything I had to work for.

Bethany: Other people always took the risks, to keep me free.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anders: Where did you learn your magic? I mean, you know my feelings on the Circle, but usually it's the only decent training a mage can get.

Bethany: My father taught me. He was in the Circle once, trained there. But he got away.

Anders: You don't know how lucky you were, to have someone who loved you and could help you. Most mages would kill for that.

Bethany: You remind me of him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anders: The Rite of Tranquility is the whole problem. If they didn't have that to hold over us, we'd have so many more options.

Bethany: Right! If we want to fight back... or just engage in intelligent debate... they make sure we can't do it.

Anders: They're forcing our hands. There's no way to change things peacefully.

Bethany: There must be something.

Anders: If it's Tranquility or death, we have no choice but to make every confrontation a life-or-death struggle.

Bethany: I know, but... there are good people in the Circle, the Chantry. There has to be a way to reason with them.

Anders: Not if they take away your ability to reason.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bethany: I know it didn't work the way you wanted, but... it was brave, what you did with Justice.

Anders: It was meant well. I don't know if that's enough to forgive me.

Bethany: It must have been hard for him, being trapped outside the Fade. In a place where no one's like him.

Bethany: I bet he appreciated having a friend.

Anders: He did.
