[What does he say? He doesn't want to reveal too much, make things all too confusing. Justice will find out that Anders is here sooner or later though, and that Adalwolfe is important to him. At least, Wolfe hopes that's a thing that Justice finds out considering he's been with Anders for eight years now, and he has no illusions about keeping the spirit separate from his love. They're friends of old, before Hawke, and it would be wrong to interfere even if he's incredibly tempted. He doesn't like Justice's influence on Anders, doesn't like what the spirit made him do, but did that all start when Anders let Justice in or was it before? He doesn't know. He certainly doesn't feel influenced right now personally, but it could be that's how it starts, that you don't know a spirit is doing it until its done.
There are too many things to consider and Justice is looking at him maybe not with expectation but that's the feeling Wolfe has about it. He decides to tell him at least what's present and not anything that's past for him and future for the spirit. It's not like he enjoys rehashing the events that lead to a war and the loss of the life he'd worked for for his family.]
I'm familiar with you. Not as a spirit, but as an individual. I, ah... Anders and I are...
[Why does he keep hesitating?! Does he really care so much what a wayward spirit thinks?!]
Together.
[There. He said it.]
I mean, obviously if you haven't guessed already, I'm from Thedas.
no subject
Good for you both.
[This is another moment where his tone could easily be mistaken for mocking with how even it is, but once again, he's being entirely sincere. Anders is given to sloth in his obligation to others, but he has a good heart and Justice would be pleased to see him happy with someone else. Justice isn't sure why Anders picked this one, but what does he know? He's a spirit. The most romantic experience he has is telling a woman that he's borrowing her husband's corpse for some avenging.]
I understand that time is unreliable here. I take it you know me from the future? [Justice just assumes that's what the man means. How else would he know him? Depending on how far in the future he is, it's very likely he's had to possess a new corpse by the time he's met this man. What a disturbing thought.] I am afraid that I have not met you yet.
no subject
[There are a lot of things he could tell Justice right now but he's certainly not going to. He stands up, dusting off his clothes out of habit.]
You really think good for us both?
[He didn't really want to ask that, it just came out...]
no subject
[Justice tilts his head to the side and one eyebrow arches, the only indications of his confusion.] Spirits do not have romantic relationships, but the man whose body I first possessed was married to a wonderful woman. They loved each other very much. The memory of what they shared is beautiful.
[He stands, more to mirror the other man than for anything else, still looking confused.] Anders has a good heart. If you treat each other well and care about one another, why wouldn't I think that is good?
[He even envies the love that mortals can have for each other, though he's only ever admitted that to the Warden Commander. He knows that envy is wrong, and he'd never try to take mortal love for himself, but he still can't help but see its beauty and wish it could be his as well.]
no subject
[And maybe that's the difference, not that Justice got too wrapped up in the issue of the Circle and mistreated mages the second he touched Anders' mind. Maybe he just straight up dislikes Adalwolfe as a person when he goes to know him. The mage tries his best but his best is so often not good enough even for mortals, let alone an exacting spirit's standards...]
But yes, we do care about one another. And he does have a good heart.
[Adalwolfe smiles faintly.]
Better than most.
no subject
[It occurs to Justice that this seems strange. Why does his opinion matter? It's not like he's the one dating the man.
Ha... ha... ha...]Is there a reason why my approval matters?
[Perhaps the man wants approval from those Anders cares for? Kristoff's memories say that that's not unusual. That's probably it. He seems to care about Anders, at least, and that's the most important thing. Probably. Justice thinks that's the most important thing, anyway.]
no subject
[It's a quick, defensive return.]
Well no, sort of? I mean, I just want his friends to approve of me.
[That much is true. It's not that he'd change anything if they didn't - he'd still stuck by Anders when that whole confusing bit had been going on with Riona - but it does make things easier. He homes that's enough that he can exclude the other reasons why it's specifically the case with Justice.]
no subject
And there's that word again. Friends. Is it so easy for mortals to use that word? Or maybe it becomes easier for Justice too in the future. He thinks he's friends with Anders, even if the idea is strange.]
He cares for you, and he is a decent judge of character. I am sure we will get along fine. [By Justice's standards anyway. He tends to get along well with most people who can tolerate him and don't egregiously violate his sense of morality. The issue is that people need to tolerate his nagging and moral debates.]
no subject
Well I certainly hope so.
[Sort of. Maybe. Actually he had sort of hoped that he would never see Justice again but if wishes were fishes etc etc.]
no subject
He's probably misjudging it. Probably. He'll ask the Warden Commander about it later. Or maybe Anders. He's not sure if he can ask Anders if his boyfriend is actually really weird or if it's just in Justice's head. That seems like the kind of question that might make Anders cranky.
After staring at Adalwolfe for perhaps a few moments too long--and honestly, that could be interpreted as anything, because Justice naturally doesn't blink and his expressions are subtle at the best of times--Justice dips his head.]
I am glad to have met you.
[This is entirely sincere. Anders is important to Justice, and therefore, those who are important to Anders are also important to Justice. (Even if they are a little weird.)
Justice still doesn't know the man's name. It doesn't occur to him to ask. Spirits don't use names. He doesn't even have one himself, only something that he allows mortals to call him for the sake of ease. What matters is that now he knows what the man's presence feels like, and he can identify it in a crowd.]
