A tall, attractive male Aasimar walks to the center of the room in The Temple of the Shining Star after making small talk for about ten minutes. Other Silver Crusaders would recognize him; he is a regular in the temple and an experienced pathfinder.
"My friends," he begins, "I have an unfortunate announcement to make."
After waiting for silence to fall in the room, he speaks in a loud, constant, and oratory fashion.
"I am leaving the Pathfinder Society, and by the extension, The Silver Crusade. This will be permanent, and allow me to firmly state that I will not be dissuaded."
"This was a hard decision to make, but I fear it is long overdue. I have grown absolutely disgusted with the blatantly amoral actions taken by my fellow Pathfinders from other factions. While this behavior is not omnipresent, it is still inexcusable when it surfaces. I will not tolerate crimes against innocent people, and you can be damn sure that I will take no part in it myself."
"I will be leaving the Pathfinder Society forever to make my own way in the world. The first place I will go is likely Varisia; my home and place of birth. After that I don't know."
"I stand here today not to make a scene or to protest, but to say my goodbyes before leaving. I will always keep my Shining Wayfinder with me, as a reminder of the good I know the society has done in contrast to the ilk I have faced, as well as a memento of the positive memories I've made here."
"I love you all, and know that I will miss every last one of you."
After he stops speaking, he smiles weakly, and his posture briefly becomes one of sadness. After looking down for a moment, he lifts his head and meets the eyes of those who were listening. He body language then becomes more open, as he seems to be prepared to shake hands, say goodbyes, give hugs, and other social rituals for departure.

Rhon steps forward with a sad yet solemn look upon his countenance and extends his right arm to clasp forearms with Ziggy.
"You shall be surely missed my friend. Know that what you have done here as part of us has truly made a difference in this world. Should you ever find yourself in need of assistance do not hesitate to ask me and I will do what I can for you."
Rhon releases his grasp upon Ziggy's forearm and takes a single step back before placing his gauntleted fist over his heart in a simple yet respectful salute.
With that Rhon turns on his heels and moves back among the crowd perhaps appearing just a little more contemplative and sad at seeing one of our own turn away from the Society and the good works we continue to strive to do.
