... Really. "Friend" isn't a word I've heard bandied about much.
[Anders knows better than to trust in the world's implicit kindness; his first impulse hadn't been to look for friendship in the faces of strangers. But years spent living in Kirkwall is a long time. Perhaps he'd cultivated more than mere dissent there.
Or the other Anders had, at any rate. This Anders merely offers a full smile. He appreciates the elf's words, regardless of the truth of them.]
That's a gift I'll strive not to take lightly. Although my first thought is for not making anyone regret their friendship with me in the first place. That goes for old friends, current friends, and people who may become friends.
