[ Getting off topic there Alistair. ]

Politics aside, [ Alistair's voice continues, with scolding emphasis aimed at himself, ] who wears skirts better, do you think? Mages or Templars?

Mages, because Templars' skirts are all long and billowy and boring, and I mean some mage's skirts are like that but there are also those really bangin' skirts that, like, have slits going up to the thigh? Like damn.

Templars can come back to me when they are showing off a little more leg. It'd be good for morale.

[obi_wanmanshow]

I should think mages.

[He sounds distracted, like he's reading something.]

Billowy skirts, not the best for swordplay, I've found. Why do they wear them?

[ichaer]

The ladies of both parties, of course. There's nothing great about pasty hairy dudes in skirts.

[onlyhymns]

They're not skirts, Alistair.

[gatheringstorm]

I never got the point of wearing those anyway, but if you're going to do it, at least do it with some style. The Templars get some points for effort, but let's face it, mages pull it off better.

[pinprick]

Which mage or Templar?

[el_tybs]

I'm pretty sure both mages and templars wear robes.

But for arguments sake I think Templars. You have to admit that having matching uniforms certainly gives them points. And it all was finely tailored.

Then again... hm, I might have to say Tevinter mages.

[not here]

[Somewhere out there there's a certain Scotsman pulling faces at the crystal. Many, many faces.

But...so long as the word 'kilt' doesn't wind up making its way into the conversation he'll be quite happy to stay out of this, thank you.]

[failedfirst]

[she isn't going to dignify this with a response. However she can't help it if the crystal picks up the disgusted noise she makes. Alistair should be quite familiar with it.]

[justice_is_blond]

Mages. Mages do everything better.

[conqueredhearts]

They are wearing skirts? I had no realized this is what you all called these things!

[Since he's someone who wears armor with "skirts" on it, he just sort of has been rolling with things.]

Though I'd say both. I certainly appreciate the ease of access anyway.

[universal_charm]

I say mages, but then, I am terribly biased.

_{[ Because, you know, it wasn't like he was sleeping with a mage or anything. A stunningly beautiful one. At least he admitted his bias! ]}

[in_death_sacrifice]

I suppose mages.

The skirts are among the many reasons I chose to join the Grey Wardens over the Templars.

[alankazam]

Isn't a robe more of a dress?

[ important questions about fashion taxonomy ]

[blessedmaiden]

Oh, please, everyone knows mages do everything better, even wearing skirts.

[issala]

Isn't it kinda hard to fight in a skirt? I mean, at least mages don't have to worry about getting their sword entangled.

[samahl]

Why choose one?

[qunari]

Mages, definitely. Heard they're made of nicer stuff, on top of it.

Pretty sure you can't get a templar skirt without a sun stamped on it, anyhow.

[ombranera]

Rogues have the best skirts. I do not know why this is even a contest.

[judgemewhole]

[There is your disgruntled Knight Commander sigh for you, Alistair.]

[mythalenaste]

Templars. It makes the waist look narrower.

[bouclier]

I always liked the Templar uniform. I'd have to, I once seriously considered joining the Order. Maker knows I can't be looking foolish the rest of my life.

[liberalum]

Why,

[ inevitably, ]

that depends entirely on the mage.
