[Perhaps that's not the most graceful response to a declaration of love, but that's all Justice can manage. Love? Did Justice hear that right? Did he understand? Surely he mustn't have understood. Anders knows his limitations. Anders grew up with Chantry teachings of the horror of spirits. He can be friends, but surely he can't be in love.
But Anders looks so broken, and Justice can't stand it. They're getting stares, but that doesn't bother him. He can only focus on how unhappy Anders is, and he tries to deal with it by running his hands up and down Anders' arms, trying to soothe him desperately.]
What do you mean, you love me? Do you mean romantically? [It sounds ridiculous to even say it, but that's the only way Justice can think to interpret what Anders said and he needs to confirm it.]
