[One of the benefits of being so young was that Watanuki largely missed out on the mage-templar war. Or rather, he missed out on most of the fighting in it. His magic had always been less than helpful in a fight anyway- he was particularly talented at healing, as well as a few other tricks that he typically kept quiet- so he had spent a large part of the war bouncing back and forth between hiding places, traveling in secret when it was needed. Nobody was going to send a boy of barely fourteen out to fight templars when his best tricks involved healing wounds and making people better or worse at fighting. Not at the beginning of the war, at least. It was better to keep him safe and healing the wounded than to risk his life.

But then the Breach happened, and things got worse. At seventeen, Watanuki was stuck between roaming templars who slaughtered anyone at even the whisper of magic and a slowly-weakening group of mages who were growing more and more desperate by the day. So when the rebel mages sided with the Inquisition and moved to seal the Breach, he found himself at Haven along with many of the men and women he had practically grown up around. When their celebrations were cut short by corrupted templars and a particularly frightening creature, he tried to protect the town alongside them. And when they eventually fled up the mountain, he helped the injured as much as he could, even carrying people when he had to. It was the first time Watanuki had done more than heal those who had done the fighting, and it was absolutely terrifying.

But still he persisted. He knew he couldn't just bury his head in the snow and expect someone else to save the world. If he wanted to be free, he would have to do his part too. Which was why he chose to remain at Skyhold, doing everything he could to help there. If he were called upon to do something more he would gladly step up, but he was...'reluctant to step on any toes' was probably the best way to describe it. He really was quite young compared to everyone else there, and even though he had talents that would probably prove invaluable to the Inquisitor he didn't want to piss anyone off. Making enemies when he was barely an adult was probably not a good idea.

And, as always, he persisted. And being a mage of particularly strong healing talents, that meant he had frequent visitors. Visitors who tended to get hurt when they were out saving the world, for example. And even though those frequent visitors tended to have sassy mouths from time to time, Watanuki kept quiet and did his job.

The scathing looks he could dish out to careless party members spoke far better than any words could anyway.]
