"Oh i'm sure you WOULD hate to see that." His thoughts on how there was a number of mages who would be glad to hear a templar did himself in. Ok that wasn't too uncommon actually. Taking your own life or losing it to a mage was better then the waiting. After a certain point there wasn't a return path. Mages could handle lyrium due to the magic in them. Normal folk could not, as this fact was true after so long most templars went crazy to make a long story short. Mad from the lyrium, such a fate they forget to tell you when you sign up to be a templar.

Listening to her say he was high and mighty he huffed a little. Like he had such a easy life. Mages were not the only ones with hardships that was for sure. But at the moment he cared little about fighting with her over this. No he had already made the choice to accept her help to get out of here so the sooner that happened the better. Though already he was second guessing this as she patted his shoulder and he flinched back a little. He had been around blood mages before... taking chances wasn't a wise choice.

This was when she seemed to speak of her big sister. Yeah he did give her a odd look, that was a heck of a thing to call the witch of the wilds. to each their own he hardly cared if she wanted to go seek out the jaws of that beast so be it. He almost wanted to groan as she said she had to make contact for the spell to work on both. His look was almost one of pain. He could guess that but he did pray to the maker he was wrong for once.

He was still debating on taking back this offer when she tossed the half empty bottle towards him and he barely caught it where he wasn't paying attention. His ears went back a little annoyed she mentioned it. "Oh yeah.. it's fun I swear." He spoke with a bit of a smirk knowing he was lying. Fun.. yeah try feeling like your body was trying to reject itself if you thought that was fun by all means. Some tried to break free of the want and need for lyrim but it normally never ended well. That or they went crazy sooner then normal.

Though the mage never gave him a chance to protest further to this as she grabbed his hand. If he noticed her blush he never thought anything of it. Odds were it was fatigue. Melissa seemed to explain that those cloaked could see one another and it was used back when mages weren't hunted. Yeah well.. that was some time ago. A lot of things were different some time ago to be honest. "Yeah well... don't expect things to go back to those ways." He didn't really mean it in a cruel way but it was the truth.

Either way she seemed excited to get out of here as she tugged on his arm. He rolled his eyes a little at her saying what she had to do. "Not sure I'd go out of my way to personally track you down.." He said almost flatly, really he never went out of his way to hunt any of the mages. Unless it was one that was disrupting the peace of he town. Though with that they both agreed it was time to go as she lead the way after the door was unbarred and opened.

Once outside of the cave the area was crawling with darkspawn. Even if they both had fought out here they wouldn't have lasted but so long. The numbers were more then he had ever seen in one place like this. Was there some attack plan or something from the beasts? He'd get word to the commander either way once he was back in the city. Give the report as to what happened to the other templars and go about his business.

They had to walk a good while, ending up back where the templars had fallen before they were free of the darkspawn range. This was when she let the spell drop once they were sure the coast was clear. She seemed pleased enough they were free of that craziness. Saying a few words before she started to walk off he stopped her. "Hey." He started as she seemed to pause before he threw a small purse at her. "Before you cause the next great quake with your stomach eh?" Wait he just cracked a joke, that was rare at best.
