Anders reaches up to rest a hand on Nate's chest. With Mercy's help, the act no longer causes a wave of overwhelming guilt. He still feels a little responsible, though.
"It's how I survived. If I'd not had that much skill with healing, I wouldn't have gotten seven escapes." His skill had saved his life as much as it had saved Nate's. "And I couldn't have forgiven myself if I'd lost you."
He would have gone on. He would have made sure Nate's sacrifice wasn't in vain. But every day would have been a painful struggle, instead of the delight of waking up to Nate beside him nearly every morning.
Anders snuggles close, resting his head on Nate's shoulder and resuming his meal.
"I wish every mage could heal. I think sometimes that's the only way Circles would never come back."
