That's fine. Sometimes you have to keep your word no matter what. Not a good place to be in but it happens.
Still, the girl is losing it, Anders. Thinking she can just have a child without dangerous works that might hurt others, letting mages get hurt, refusing information while asking for it...
I'm going to let you know now that I'm not going to have a good time working with her from now on.
I'll speak with her and see if I can find out what's going on.
[If it's the Blight getting to her already, for instance. It's not like he can tell Nate that one of his choices for promotion is already doing the opposite of inspiring confidence, not when Anders had been as upset as he was about his lack of promotion.]
Try to work with her if you can? I'm not asking for her sake, but for Nate's. I'm... biased there.
I'm not promising anything other than I'll try. And if you tell anyone you convinced me to do that much I'll knock you in the stones so hard your ancestors will sing.
[Things that make Nate's life easier by definition also make his life easier. Though he'll have to go and do the hard work now and dig to figure out what's actually going on with Bethany. A healer's job is never done.]
Is there anything else? Not that I'm currently busy; the opposite, really.
That does it. I just figured I'd ask you since you knew her before all this. Though if you want to get some food we could do that. You healer types need to remember to eat so you can keep up that taking care of people stuff.

My lips are sealed. Thank you.
