I didn't want to consider Justice losing himself. But I had to. While I thought it entirely unlikely, after what happened with Cole some time ago, I couldn't rule it out. [So yes, she flat out lied to Justice about it. The possibility was remote in her mind, but it was there. She'd rather die than admit it to him, though.] Thank the Maker nothing of the sort occurred. [A glance at Anders.] And that stays between us.

[Granted he more or less admitted the same, she's not worried he'll say anything, but it doesn't hurt to make sure.

She mulls over what he says next. The answer doesn't entirely surprise her, but she's still unsure as to what to say to it. Better that he not regret it, she supposes. That would make it all the worse.]

I wish I knew. I hope he'll recognize that what's done is done and there's no point debating it. He's usually too practical for that.
