"Ha, something like that!" Glancing away Alistair toys with the mug in front of him as he tries to put what little he can share into words. "Grey Wardens know when there are darkspawn around. That's just how it works."

Which hopefully is enough for the other man. It guarantees they will know if darkspawn do show up - although if it comes with a change of scenery like this they might not need much warning. It's not hard to go 'the entire mansion and surrounds just changed again, maybe something bad is going to happen!' But still, a little extra warning can't hurt.

"But hey, enough about that. I never introduced myself. As much as we can right now. I'm the Bastard." And he's just hoping the Handler isn't really interested in the Wardens or the type to push on the subject and will accept that rather obvious change of subject.
