even if she was only a mistress, she'd have taken it.
but she doubts that other Wardens who'd loved him felt the same.
so, Grey Wardens. together. even if it meant denying Alistair's blood, his birthright, his destiny.
and then Alistair's needless sacrifice in the Fade, followed by his death]
He--he is! He's alive in mine! We're getting married in mine!
