It's actually been a few days since Anders set anyone on fire, and seeing as they'd attacked first he feels absolutely no guilt about it at all. As no one's attacking him here, yet, he's not doing anything to hurt anyone. Also yet.

He takes a seat and holds out a hand. "I'm Detlef." The other statement is a little more difficult to address, because 'handy talent' would certainly be applicable if not for all of the baggage that comes with being a mage thanks to the Chantry.

"If everyone treated us like people, magic would be more of a handy talent. Though I'd not trade it away." What would he be if he wasn't a mage and a healer? A farmer, likely. Dealing with cows, never seeing the world... never possessed and never chased and never beaten. Even with all that, though, he prefers being a mage.

"As far as how it works, it's due to a stronger connection with the Fade. Do your dreams touch it, as a Rifter?"
