[Somehow Alistair hadn't considered people being worried about Wardens because of what Carver had said could happen to them. It makes sense and on one level he knows it would be understandable for anyone who'd seen the order turn to blood magic to feel that way. But it's just wrong for people to be afraid of the Wardens. They're supposed to be the ones they turn to for protection.
But Anders has a good point. From the sound of it only Warden mages need really worry. And they only have one of those. And at least two people already think poorly of him. Not an enviable position to be in. But the other Warden can look after himself if anyone starts making accusations of blood magic. And there's plenty of others around who seem even more likely to be the type to call up demons. So they all should be fine, though he's not about to disregard the warning. Which makes it more important that they can all count on each other.
With a nod and a hopeful smile he throws in his support of the policy of Warden solidarity.] Same. If there's ever anything I can do.
[Until then it seems like it's meeting adjourned and the only thing he has to do is decide what to do with the antsy feeling he's left with.]
