You seemed promising, Orsino thought to himself often when he watched you participate in the daily practices and studies that were required of you... To keep you out of trouble with the Templars.

Though with Meredith overhead... that seemed a long shot to avoid. To have other Mage's go unnoticed by the Templars who seemed to have been... too brazen, too bold... too cruel. More so than usual, Orsino didn't know how to explain it... but he knew something was not right with the Knight Commander.

He knew you had been through Hells enough, running from the Blight in Ferelden, getting lucky to escape your Circle Tower... only to land back in one. It was a sick and twisted sense of humor of the Maker or Andraste in his opinion.

But by the Maker were you talented, you had much to offer to the Circle, so Orsino took his moment to approach you as the daily studies concluded.

"You are managing well.. I don't see a further point in keeping you hindered in studies you are exceeding in." Orsino said kindly to you, as he offered you a small smile.
