[Of all the bad ideas you had, Anders, that was probably one of the worst. Perhaps save blowing up a Chantry, because that's on a whole other level.]

No. [He snaps out, a kneejerk reaction to the mere suggestion of tapping its power. A moment passes after that, and then Bruce lets out a sharp exhale, lips pursed tightly together before he speaks again.] I didn't--my apologies.

[Another pause as Bruce recollects himself.]

I can work just fine without requiring external help. [It's harder, yes, but Bruce refuses to touch its power any more than he already has to. It's far too uncertain and volatile and Bruce doesn't want to cause even more risks than the ones he already carries around.] I'll still stick to non-magic healing for the most part, unless somebody specifically requests it of me.
