Aleron may not give him a verbal answer to the first question, but that's an answer in and of itself. Force was used, and more than was 'appropriate.' No little surprise when Harriman is involved. The real surprise is that this man who has married a mage and the mage did nothing to help someone Cade was hurting.
...Then again. If Aleron considered Kirkwall not his problem initially, maybe it's no wonder that he didn't stop Cade. Maybe there's no fixing the system that caused this situation in the first place, abuses compounded on abuses.
The frustration fades, replaced by a mix of despair and resignation. "So you let Meredith continue to slaughter innocents, paid no need to Templars making them Tranquil for their own personal reasons, walked away from the abuse, and today you let Cade harm a mage who was upset you'd abandoned them before. Where does it end?"
And when does anyone other than him step up and acknowledge that they helped add to the mess? Cade, Cullen, Aleron, no one can be bothered to disrupt the Chantry's narrative that Kirkwall's mess was the act of one lone mad mage.
