"Of course. You're right. I'm tired. I'm ready for things to finally settle back into a routine."
"Kirkwall and routine rarely seem to go hand-in-hand. But I understand, love." Anders waggles his eyebrows at Nate. "Would you like to give me some orders? I'll follow eagerly. Or we can get some rest; I've some reading to get through and we can curl up with that together."
He takes Nate's hand and leads him over to the bed before grabbing a book and joining him.
"It's a treatise on alternative uses of herbs found in the Fereldan. There's apparently a flower that can cure mabari of the Blight, but I've only got a description, not the name itself. I'm reading through in hopes of finding it."
He opens the book and turns to the feather he'd left as a mark and starts reading, comfortable against Nate.
