[Anders has seen plague decimate more than one town in his time. He'd known spores in the air could be bad in such a small, contained area, very bad, he just hadn't been prepared to find out how many people had died or were absent in the days following the event. Some of them people he knows.
Having failed to come back to his room, Alistair counts among the unaccounted for. Anders should know--he's been checking.
Not being able to get in contact with his fellow Warden had left him on high alert, anxious and trying not to show it, and he'd been making regular passes around the mansion and to Alistair's room to see if he'd make a reappearance. Odd to think of people drifting in and out of this place, and in and out of death, like vagabonds passing through a crossroads, but there's nothing else for it. Anders doesn't have much of a choice but to wait and see what happens, and make sure Alistair's cat is fed in the interim.
Feeling helpless is not something he enjoys, and he enjoys picturing Alistair dead even less. As a result, the morning he makes his customary stop and finds Alistair's room has an occupant in it again, he's overjoyed with relief.
Here's hoping Alistair wasn't hoping for a quiet start to the day because there's one mage in Wonderland eager to burst in and reunite with his future king.]
You're here! Thank the Maker. I was beginning to wonder.
