Huh. Steering them both off the topic had been surprisingly painless--extra surprising in Cullen's case. "Good... Good then. I changed my mind, I think I prefer living in suspense about what happened here. The truth won't be as interesting as my version of events. Which I'm going to share with inquiring minds if anyone asks, just so you know."
Nathaniel bringing up the Kirkwall Chantry (and the death of a Grand Cleric? Had that really happened?) would've been the perfect opportunity for Cullen to take attention away from the foolish manner in which he'd been injured and take a run at Anders instead. The fact that he doesn't catches Anders off guard. He meets Cullen's look with cautious hope. He must be itching to get out of here and forget this whole thing to give up the mage-hunt so easily.
Whatever the reason, Anders isn't about to take the reprieve for granted.
"There are other ways to see me half-dressed, you know," he quips, waving a hand at them. "Go on, Nathaniel, I'll leave it to you. Get out of here before I regret it. I'll clean this up."
