[At least he didn't hear it from Fenris. Still, she's leery about what Leliana may have told him.]
I'm glad you are speaking with me about it. I have a different perspective on it than she does.
[She sighs.]
Anders has a spirit of Justice within him. It was a mutual decision on both their parts. Justice had been stuck inside a corpse - through no fault of his own - and Anders was in danger. But, the spirits of Thedas embody a feeling or an idea. Wholeheartedly. And... if they are exposed to a great deal of a different emotion or feeling, their composition changes. Anders held a lot of anger over the way mages are treated in Thedas. When Justice merged with him, he was exposed to that anger. And it changed him. Now... he's Vengeance. And Vengeance is not kind. Anders's anger and his Vengeful nature fed into each other, and they... did something terrible.
[It hurts to talk about it, honestly. But she hardens her resolve and keeps going.]
Justice - Vengeance - isn't a demon yet. But it may only be a matter of time. If he changes again, he'll become Rage, and that... will not be good. He'll be a danger to everyone in the fleet. But it's not his fault. And while he and Anders should be separated, he doesn't deserve to be tossed aside and harmed just because he's not a "person". He has thoughts and feelings, too.
