@hcusetethras sent : Given your own nature, are you really the one to judge?
Right. He should've known Varric wouldn't keep any commentary about his nature as a spirit to himself. Not for very long, at least. There's a light huff, it being the best sign that he's amused by how little time it took. And that such a revelation would lead to him mentioning it so casually.
"I would say so. I believe you were all so caught up on the pride aspect of things you forgot about wisdom."
The statement does sting, however. To know what he's turned into rather than what he wishes he remained is the more prevalent side of himself in the eyes of others. Even those he considered dear to him. He can't be surprised by it - he knows very well that he's certainly acted the part of one more than the other out of necessity - but it doesn't make the feeling any better.
