As your friend, I feel it's my duty to say "serious" isn't a good look for you, not at all. [And just to make sure the maudlin moment is good and dead, Anders lets his own features slip into something more comfortable, relaxed and casual with just a hint of vanity in his smile.] You have a point. I don't know what I'd do without him.
[The thank you is implied, but never quite rises past his throat. He has a difficult enough time addressing what draws him to Justice or even contemplating the crimes he and Justice are allegedly responsible for--talking about them more than once in a single afternoon is an utterly exhausting prospect.
He doubts Alistair is complaining. It's a lot to lay on a man when that man has only Anders' word to go by in all of this.]
You mean you weren't offering it to me earlier? [A pointed look down at the seat he's occupying.] But I'm already comfortable.
