"Taking children," she muttered to herself with a shake of her head. "We'll have to make camp soon. The light'll start going."
Ailwen had begun walking.
"Coming?"

Maya moved to catch up.
"Yeah...I hear some mages were orphans, but most of us I know were from regular families. Like, one of our newest members, Connor from Redcliff? Everyone says he's very promising, but he had a lot ahead of him as the Arl's son from what I understand."

Ailwen shuddered at the name Connor. After what he'd been through, what she'd seen him do...
It wasn't the boy's fault, but it was hard to forget the things he'd said.
"Maker willing the Chantry will release their hold on the Mages before it becomes an issue." She hadn't saved the boy so he could be taken from his father anyway.

She nodded.
"Maker, Andraste, just...someone."
Maya sighed.
"I'm not normally this downbeat. I swear."

Ailwen shrugged. She could walk in silence as easily as not.
"The world can be a hard place. If we want anything done, we have to do it ourselves."

Maya nodded.
"Damn right. That's why the Chantry's involvement with mages bugs me so much. It's like they're slyly saying that we're too stupid to police and take care of each other in the Circle."

Ailwen continued walking, now lost in her thoughts.

Feeling as though she'd perhaps revealed too much of herself, Maya fell silent as well, mostly going over in her head the feasability of simply not going back to the Tower if Ailwen decided not to take her along. As had been demonstrated earlier, Maya as a bit of a newcomer to the whole roadtrip business, and she knew too-well the stories of the Kokari Wilds and the Brecilian Forest, not to mention the dangers of the Frostback Mountains, since hiding out in a city would be calling attention to herself. There was also, as always, her almost ingrained fear of the Templars .
