Apparently his sarcasm is lost on Bruce, but that's fine by Anders. He doesn't want to drag people down. That's why he's moving forward, despite feeling absolutely terrified, numb, and sick at alternating moments.

"It would be nice to find some. It's been... some time. But perhaps I'm not looking in the right place."

He shakes his head and exhales, trying to end his moodiness before it truly spiraled downward. Justice was satisfied with this. He was at peace, even. Shouldn't that make it easier? Except Justice had never wanted to live in this world the way Anders had. All Anders had ever wanted, all he'd gotten, he'd also had taken away. He just... it doesn't matter. Not anymore.

"Maybe I'll find it while I attend to matters. But if you discover a source of optimism, let me know. Maybe I'll be able to share in it."

Bruce gives a nod. "I'll be certain to do that."

He doesn't know how well that would help with whatever Detlef had in mind, but if it could aid him in anyway, then Bruce would do his best. Again, it was the least he could do in return for the favour that the other was doing for him. He owed Detlef a lot.

"Whatever it is, I wish the best for you."

Would he if he knew the truth? Anders doesn't know, but he'll take the man at his word. Bruce deserves that respect.

"Thank you." He'd add something about continuing to do well, or... something along those lines, but anything like that would sound too final, rouse too many suspicions, so instead Anders nods.

"Until next time, Bruce." There might not be one. But at least he'd met the man, and that had been nice.
