"I knew you did. Hence the mention of meaning no offense by my cat's name. And I can't say I found the time to test his appreciation of puns. He was preoccupied on the way there, and I was extremely busy on the way back. Which you don't have to thank me for."
He gives her a faint smile as he draws the kitten closer again after Purrelden's gotten a little gnawing in, rubbing her chin and feeling her purr against his chest. Justice might not approve of having the cat, but Anders always feels a little better when he has one purring in his arms. It's easier to stay calm.
"I also can't say I appreciate skittering and crawling things. I take it you've not had good encounters with deep stalkers? They've never sounded pleasant in stories." As long as he sticks to things that are true, he might be able to make it through this. "Or maybe a story of whomever it is who would lament would be easier."
He's outmatched. If he can get her thinking about herself, on her stories, maybe he has a chance. ...And then he may well need to contact Varric about running into her.
