Eyebrows raised, Anders rewards the other man with a congratulatory look that says good for you, you've finally figured it out, cat's officially out of the bag.

His gaze drifts to the very real cat making itself comfortable on its master's knee, looking pleased as punch as it does, but Nathaniel's admission gradually draws it back up to his face. "I know that." And just before Nathaniel gets his hopes that Anders is about to accept the remark earnestly and seriously, he adds, "Of course you like me. How could you not? I'm a likeable person. And someone has to remind you life's about more than simply getting down to the brass tacks."

He's welcome for the kitten, though he knows Nathaniel too well to expect a 'thank you'.
