[He'll take twentieth most favourite person, sure. It's better than nothing.]
Oh. Anora. [He'd been worried that maybe there was another Her Majesty if he was king. That somehow Arl Eamon might have pushed him into a marriage. But of course Anora would still be hanging around. She had been doing a lot of the running of Ferelden even before Cailan died, she must have stayed on to help rebuild after the Blight. She was still Loghain's daughter but she would be useful while he was learning all the kinging business.]
I've seen her alright. [And wound up in a cell because of her. But the question hadn't been about her as a person. Frowning thoughtfully, Alistair shrugs after a moment.] She's not bad. So long as you don't mind your hands freezing if you try to touch her.
[Not that he has tried to touch Anora - she dislikes him enough just for existing, if he started pawing at her he'd likely lose his head, contender for the throne or not - but she looked frigid enough for it to be true.]
