[Mornin' Keep. How are you all feeling today? Probably better than this guy.]

[Video shows him in his room, actually in bed for a change, and propped up on his folded coat. He looks... about as pale as paper, but there's an almost unnatural brightness to his eyes. Almost like a fever. That's hat happens when you chug lyrium potions after

So Anders, what did we learn?

[3wayforjustice]

... Keeping a few potions in my pocket was a brilliant plan.

[iwannabeadragon]

That and running into spears is a bad thing.

[3wayforjustice]

Believe me, I have no intention of repeating the experience.

[sacredbrand]

[WHAT UP, amnesiac post-death spy slinking around outside his cell without a clue in the world that it's occupied at all.

Or why she has sheaths for weapons, but they're empty. Or why there are gaps in her knowledge of her surroundings, but everything is so damned familiar it makes her ache.]

[3wayforjustice]

[And that's when we sense a disturbance in the force.]

[Or because the door is slightly ajar.]

... Is someone there?

[sacredbrand]

[Nel stops, dressed in the now-imprudent chimera-themed gear from the party days ago. She looks considerably less unimposing than usual, with the photorealistic horns spiraling from a dark hood and the animated dragon's tail twitching above her rear end.

The goat skull on her left shoulder isn't a fake construct, either.]

Yes?

[3wayforjustice]

[That was not at all what he expected.]

[And as a result, it has him launching the nearest throw-able object at her, in order to scare whatever that is off long enough to get his staff.]

[Said object happens to be a boot.]

[ghostly_stutter]

A-Anders? You okay?

[Chloe winces. Who would be okay after seeing his boyfriend's head completely vanish from his shoulders?]

Anything I can do?

[3wayforjustice]

I'm not a complete invalid. I'm healing. It's fine.

[There's not even a hole left in his stomach anymore.]

[ghostly_stutter]

...

[A considered pause.]

Are you fine in the sense that you're lying through your teeth, and if Alex was there he would not be happy with you if you did anything strenuous, or are you really fine?

[3wayforjustice]

[Woman what is your problem why are you bringing that up where Varric can see it.]

If I say I'm fine, then I am. I've been asleep for Maker knows how long.

I think know my own limits.

[Says he who pushed himself to said limits not too long ago.]

There's nothing but a scratch left, anyway!

[ audio ]

[theonlypower]

You're not dead?

[Well poo.]

[ audio ]

[3wayforjustice]

Why would I be?

[ audio ]

[theonlypower]

[wishful thinking?]

It sounds like you should be.

[ audio ]

[3wayforjustice]

What part of "I'm awake, I'm a healer" screams, "oh I should be dead"?

[angha_firebird]

You're... Varric's friend, right?

[There is concern in her gaze as she looks him over.]

You do not look well. Are you okay? Should I get someone for you?

[3wayforjustice]

Yes. Varric and I are friends.

[He scrubs a hand over his face.]

One generally doesn't look well after being impaled on a spearhead. And no, I'm healing.

[angha_firebird]

[She gasped, eyes widening.]

A spearhead? And you lived?! I have bandages. Ointment to help the pain and prevent infection. Do you need either?

[3wayforjustice]

I did.

[He shakes his head.]

I'm a healer. I've taken care of it... it just needs time.
