"Why did you join the Templars and not the military or guard?" he asks, his natural curiosity taking over. Dorian couldn't help but be curious. He found himself in the company of the Templar over and over. He has to know more.

He can't imagine what the answer will be but if Cullen enjoyed tactics and battle he would do a great deal more of that if he joined the Ferelden army or some city guard. Templar seemed a strange choice to Dorian.

Then again, anything with Templars felt strange especially ones that smelled like lyrium constantly.
