He left that part out. [Not that he blames her for doing so, after everything Arl Howe had done both to her personally and to the people under his rule. It's a wonder Nathaniel got away with just nearly.] He did tell me you'd met and you let him go.
[Which had been reason enough for him to give the other Warden a chance despite his name. And it's a good thing too. Knowing there's someone out there who knows Robyn from after the Blight and can prove that she has a chance of surviving, that's important.
As is them both being able to stop their respective orders from doing something terrible. Alistair chuckles at her suggestion regarding the other Warden Cousland and nods.] I'll do my best. [Or maybe if he takes the throne he can do something better. Make reparations at least. But he'll keep the option of just hitting the other Warden when it's all over in mind. Particularly when Aedan manages to ruin the good spirits Robyn had found without even being there.]
You don't have anything to be sorry for. You'll never meet him- [Unless the other Warden could turn up in Wonderland but he hopes not.] And I won't tell him. You can speak as ill as you like because you are better than him.
[Or he thinks so and given there's no one else there to argue that's all that matters.]
You don't need to come up with bad names for me - this place has already done that. [Such as during that event where he had no choice but to introduce himself to everyone as the Bastard. Or the part where seemingly everyone from Thedas knows him. And yes, the king bit. Even if he had been crowned he's certain he wouldn't want people talking to him differently. But the unpleasant titles like Hero are good for something and he's not letting her go back to being gloomy that easily.
Grinning Alistair nudges her and puts on an affronted tone.] Hey now! No fair stealing my trick. [He's the one always jamming both feet firmly in his mouth. What's he going to do if Robyn starts doing the same?] If you start shoving your foot in your mouth I'm going to have to come up with something new.
