“IF YOU would let me help-” She cut her words short, a grimace twisting her features as she watched him tighten the dirtied wrappings against his chest.  “You’ll only get the wound infected and potentially worsen your condition, shove your PRIDE somewhere else and ACCEPT some help.”  

From Anders’s own point of view, the results of the events of Kirkwall were not his fault, and that the message was quite loud ( as well as clear ) on what needed to be done. Yes, innocents were killed in the process, and it was why he was back on the run again. It couldn’t have been avoided —- not with what he had planned and for a while he was actually sorry.

However, it only lasted a few weeks before he started to justify his actions to himself. Not only that, he had started to remember things quite differently than how they actually happened, and that was dangerous. Even to someone like himself, being on the run from Templar’s was no easy feat of strength or determination. 

All the same, he was at least going to attempt to justify his own actions --- if not to Caius, it would be to himself once again,  ❝ If I was lying to you, I would have stated that I had no involvement. As it stands, i’m just clarifying several things, and if The Maker decides they have a lack of interest or no pity on me? So be it.  ❞              Anders had made his choice long ago.

The smell offended well before she ever actually saw the creature. The sickly scent of heat and some unknowable strangeness saw the elf reeling, nose scrunched at the odor that clawed its way into her lungs. Familiar in all the worst ways, Aria found herself scrambling for knives no longer strapped across her back.

This was the enemy, tainted by a crueler lyrium and begging to be put down. How had no one noticed yet? How had no one thought to call for aid in putting the Red Templar down--

As the man finally came into view, the hero ceased her scrambling. Keeping her eyes locked upon him, still undecided as to whether she was predator or prey, it fell upon her to make the first move.

Caius voice: no.

Anders hates Templar’s and usually gets extremely violent around them; especially after the events of Kirkwall. 

If he’s in a bad mood, there is no doubt that Justice will come out to attack the Templar or group of them ---- it doesn’t matter if it’s a bad idea or not, Justice will do what it feels is right, and will drag Anders along for the ride.
