Alistair sits back as Anders gets to his feet and begins to pace, watching him worriedly. He can understand the fear of being possessed even if it's not really a concern for non-mages. But Anders isn't an apprentice - he's undergone his Harrowing and already faced a demon successfully. True, hearing that his future could involve becoming an abomination regardless of this fact must be frightening yet this doesn't seem like the response of someone worrying what might lead to him succumbing. He can't help but feel like there's something he's missing here.
A feeling that is borne out when Anders abruptly stops his pacing and admits to there being something more to the story than what he's said so far.]
What something? [Still seated he looks up at Anders cautiously, not liking the sound of that. What could make the idea of him becoming an abomination seem plausible? Nothing good, that's for sure.]
