Curiosity, I suppose. I think we can take rifters for granted, sometimes; you're here now, you're part of Riftwatch. But remembering you have a whole life, sometimes abilities, that you don't bring with you. I suppose it's something that makes me thoughtful.
I sometimes find myself yearning, annoyingly, for it. I’d have been of much more use to Riftwatch as I was— as the original me was. But I suppose there’s no use crying over spilt milk, and the only thing we can do is move onward. Focus on the here and now. What we can actually do and contribute.

Do you miss your templar abilities, or are you simply glad to have quit?
I think it would be the odd man who enjoys feeling weaker, [finally.] I made the choice and, as you observe, it has advantages. Practically. But there were things I could do for Riftwatch with my abilities I can no longer do without them.

Also, selfishly, this makes my job simpler. ( Har, har. )
