I know he doesn't. [It's an automatic response, but one he also believes in, strangely enough. He didn't think that it would be an honest answer, but he knows mages are as varied as other people. Still, there's that part of him that belongs to Uldred and the demons, the screams of his friends. That part exists, and he can't get rid of it.] But he's taken it on himself to do so, and neither of us are stupid enough to believe that people won't listen to him and what he's done.

[Cullen nods absently. Was a Warden, right. He remembered that part. He remembers a lot. A lot about Anders before. A lot about Solona before. A lot about himself before. His fingers clench, and he sighs.] He isn't your responsibility. [Another automatic response. Still honest.] You are not responsible for the actions of people anymore than Hawke is. [It would be easy to blame Marian, he supposes, but he knows it isn't her fault. It's not anyone's fault but Anders.] Don't take the blame for the actions he's committed and the consequences we will all face for it.
