[Hello Network. This may just be voice, but there's a whole world of ~~vaguely Romance Language accent~~ charm in there.]

I have been browsing this... the word escapes me. "This". And many people are using it to ask for information.

I believe it is my turn. So! Without further ado - I am undertaking something new and strange. Something of which I have never done before! Exciting, no?

I am...

Searching for work.

[He says that like most people would say "going to Disneyland" or something like that.]

Here I am. Searching! [A long beat.] Where... exactly does one begin?

NO way??? That's like, not even sexy half the time! That's just something to get the knots out of your back. What was he, raised in a church?

[Zulius, hope you're ready to learn what the Chantry is! ]

Oh, I know! I can tell already! You're a shooting star, Sweetie!

Something of the sort - the Chantry, to be precise. He was, as he says, raised to become a templar, and escort wayward mages around their towers until the end of time.

[Look, Zevran is down with the Chantry and all, but after what happened at that Circle, the whole practice feels a little skeevy.]

I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to find someone who knows that. A fellow star, that is you!

Sooooo he was like a magic babysitter?

[Oh Zulius, honey. ]

You are totes correct and obvi, I know a fellow star when I see one!

Oh... no. No, they are not. Templars are, I suppose, more akin to guards. With many mages comparing them to jailers. And executioners.

Dear Alistair left the order before he had to do any such thing. I think he would have rather fallen on his own sword.

[Alistair is a good man. A very simple one, but a good one.]

I will remember that, the next time someone says "Oh, but Zevran, you have more to offer than just your pretty face." No, I am a star, thank you.

Executioners? Oh okay, no BIG yikes. I don't like any of that. THAT is a BIG yikes-a-roonie. No, thank you! But glad to hear he was noooot like that. Poor guy, no one wants to find their like, on the side of the bad guys.

[ Which is what these Templars sound like, in Zulius' opinion!! ]

You should! And tell them Zulius told you so! No one in the whole city would dare disagree with me! I'm their queen.

Oh, the templars are on the side of the good! They are sworn to protect the world from the terrible, terrible danger of the mages... or so they say.

[And then they threaten to wipe out the whole Circle if something goes wrong. Can you hear his sarcasm, friend Zulius?]

Your majesty! I did not know you held such high rank!

YIKES! I can smell the propaganda from all the way over here!

[He hears it, he HEARS it and he wishes he didn't. That's the biggest yikes there could ever have been.

He scoffs lightly, flicking a hand.]

Well! Now you know, ask anyone!

Alas, if only it was so obvious to more than just yourself.

[Well, and Morrigan. But Morrigan would probably have been against the Circle and Templars even if they weren't the way they were.]

I shall remember it, your highness.
