[closed] You can never go home again

[justice_is_blond]

WHO: Nathaniel, Anders
WHAT: Getting some Warden assets back; Warden assignment
WHEN: Current
WHERE: Vigil's Keep
NOTES: Feelings, sap, you know the drill

"I never really thought about going back, you know," Anders says, finishing up packing and looking over at Nate. "If I knew Oghren, Velanna, or Sigrun were in that area I might have considered it. But..."

He trails off and shrugs. There had been good times at Vigil's Keep. And there had also been some heartbreaking times when he'd felt just as alone as he'd felt in solitary. Pawdric comes over and gets pet before he's guided into his little travel pouch; they can't take his cat away this time and Pawdric should get a shot at acting on the field. Especially when he's less afraid of his own shadow than Purrelden.

"You don't suppose the, um. The smiths, I forget their names. They were friendly. You don't suppose they're still there, do you? Probably not, with the Wardens gone." And it might be for the best if no one's there who might recognize him, really.

This is Anders' favorite place, being in Nate's arms. His now is so much better than his past.

"I'll meet my sister-in-law," he says with a little wonder. "I've never had a sibling. I look forward to meeting her like this." As her brother's husband. There's no question about whether or not Nate's ready to see her, at least. She'll be the light at the end of whatever tunnel they have to walk through for this.

Anders finally pulls a little back to kiss Nate's chin before tugging Nate toward the door. "The sooner we head out, the sooner we'll see her. And the sooner we can find out if I can be helpful with negotiation or not." Hopefully he'll be of some help, and not just because he needs to get better. "I'm with you and you're with me."
