During moments of great duress Cullen has many times found strength and perseverance in the depth of his faith in the Maker. Tonight he finds that surprisingly similar strength can be found in the depth of his desire to not see Anders' face again.

"Hope so as well," he mumbles, because in truth Cullen has barely even been there once. Heard of its existence, and stuck his head through the door to confirm the truth of it. Saw strange instruments and appliances there, and hoped he would never have cause to discover their use.

Well.

Cullen pushes himself to his feet, and takes as little of the man's support as he can, carrying heavy legs towards the mansion, as best as he can.
