[Alistair had had his share of romantic notions about blood ties and what they should mean in the past but he thinks he's mostly come to terms with the fact that that isn't always the case. He dismisses the subject of his non-existent relationship with Cailan with a shrug.]

That's one way to put it.

[He does have to smile a little at Anders' comment about Loghain, though it's not the most cheerful of expressions. The Teyrn could be called a lot of things for his actions but the most important thing is that he's brought to justice. And not the spirit kind. As for the man's daughter, well, Alistair might try getting on her good side in the future. It couldn't hurt.]

Right. My preferences. Is this the part where we start talking about who we like? You should go first.

[Since they'd been talking about his future romantic prospects so far, Anders wasn't getting out of this.]
