[well it's obvious by how he tells it that it isn't happening, and she isn't exactly surprised by that. it's only... ]
I've been worried the pull of returning there would win out for him in the end. He seems to feel a large amount of guilt at abandoning it. Even though I think it is rather obvious he should not be there.
At least... if you killed him, I have to assume the situation was bad enough that there were few alternatives.
It was either that or letting the rest of Thedas hunt him down until they had their unsatisfying revenge. I refused for that to happen.
[ he also had like, three seconds to think about it but look, he did his best maybe ]
But I do agree it's for the best, perhaps, to find a new beginning. Our world has taken enough from him, and since we have the choice and so many more options.....
I understand. And it seems if he returned, the same problems would arise...
[she loves anders but she never felt like she could judge what happened before he died. what he did is something that scares her, but she isn't from that world.]
Why is it that you don't wish to return? If you don't mind my asking.
I.. both cannot nor do not want to. Being Champion, it is a weight you can't escape no matter how far you run. While I mave have tolerated the title once, I've grown weary of the expectations- especially after Kirkwall.
And now... having learned there's so much more out there.. Perhaps letting the Champion fade into obscurity is for the best. Wandering without wariness, and wondering if this was the day my magic would get me killed.
[ he pauses, a little sheepish ]
Maybe I just don't want to get shot in the arse by one of our friends either.

I doubt the title of Champion would mean anything outside of Thedas.
