justice_is_blond: (A small atonement)

"Gradually, throughout the day." His voice is quiet as he sets down the jars on the elf's desk; there's no need to disrupt the bonding process between man and kitten. It's clearly written all over Vandelin's face that he's in love.

"And as far as a name..." Anders considers it for a moment, looking over at the kitten. "Hasmeowl? Free Meowcher? It strikes me that I don't know as much about you personally as I perhaps ought. I don't know if you've heroes, or friends you'd want to name a cat after, or if you've any idea of who your family is or was."

He grins at the snort of laughter, though it fades a little at the glance and change of tone. Vandelin doesn't owe him anything, but he hadn't thought the elf was deliberately hiding his background until now. The thought gets pushed back. Maybe he's misread their friendship, maybe he hasn't, but it doesn't matter at the moment. He's here to try to help Vandelin's mental state, hence the cat.

"They may well figure it out," Anders says as he tries to return his smile to where it was. It's close, at least. "I'll leave you to bond with him, and you can call me on the crystals if you've any questions at all. I'm glad to help with cats."

He half-turns and pauses, looking back at Vandelin. "And if... If you ever want to talk, you can call me as well, you know."

He chuckles as he heads for the door.

"As if I'd have any objections to hearing about a cat doing something cute. Please call me as often as you'd like with stories of his antics, Vandelin." And with another flash of a smile, Anders is headed out. How much he matters to Vandelin is beside the point right now - the cat seems to already be doing the trick and Anders will take comfort in that.
