He considers it, which is maybe more than Strange expected given his general vibe as a man allergic to public speaking. After a moment: "I suspect it might do more harm than good among most of them. I haven't the strongest ties to most of our templars or ex-templars. And those who've been around since the Inquisition or cared to look into it." He hesitates. "...given Riftwatch, I don't that anyone other than Keen deeply cares, but I was involved with a mage, seriously, years ago. He defected to the Venatori. I may not be telling you anything you don't know, but it's not as if ... What I mean to say is that my Templar credentials weren't sterling before I stopped using lyrium, which was a large part of Mlle. Baudin's point, I think. I may not serve as much of an example to those who still care more about the Order."

Maybe useful to those who don't. He's thought, before, of Barrow's awkward well-wishes soon after he quit. But it feels unnatural to put himself forward as any kind of object lesson.
