Usually just when I actually was, [Barrow replies with a glint of bone-dry humor in his eyes, his resulting smirk an ironic one.]
Ask any Templar who operated in a Circle what their job was, not one of 'em will tell you it was all Wicked Grace and shooting the shit all the time. Anyone who does is lying. We all had Harrowings in our rotation, we locked up the troublemakers, we secured the soon-to-be-Tranquil for their branding. It's not something a person likes to do, unless they're the wrong kind of person for the job. And there's a lot of those.
[He sips from his ale, his brow set darkly.]
Maybe it's necessary work, who the fuck am I to say. I suppose pulling in kids from the region under the guise of joining Andraste's own army, while not entirely the truth, will filter out most of the sadists. Or they'll all go to Kinloch.
[He makes a lazy shooing motion, directing the sadists to Kinloch, no doubt.]
...to be fair, the shit that went down over there, maybe the Rite of Annulment was a good decision. [He sighs.] Fuck it, I'm rambling.
