Cole doesn't even possess a body. How can he know how to end possession?

[Justice had been as clueless as anyone about possession. He'd always deemed it a thing for demons. But the question isn't simply rhetorical. Nathaniel frowns.]

But if he does...Maker. I could be denying the answer I'm looking for. Maker, what if my own caution is the end of Anders?

But he can feel things we cannot. He might just...know. There is another-- He's not here but he, too, might know. It's only an option.

[ She looks up, eyes sad, and she holds his arm gently. Lavellan reaches up to touch his arm. ]

This doesn't need to happen right away. For the moment, he's safe. He's all right.

[The touch relaxes him somewhat.]

For the moment, [he concedes.] Until Justice decides to start denying him a normal life again.

And we'll step in when that happens. For now, though...I think your approach is right. It's too complicated and there's too many variables.

[ A beat. ]

Has...anyone tried speaking to Justice?

action

[pinprick]

Not to my knowledge. I...knew him, once, but I doubt I know him now. I don't know if he'd listen to me. I concede your Cole is probably our best hope there.

Perhaps not specifically Cole but I had really wondered if anyone had been able to speak to him outside of Anders, really. A friend of mine named Solas could have helped, too. He is a Dreamer, able to traverse the Fade in his dreams. He has made friends with many spirits.

[ She doesn't quite look at Nathaniel. Can't, really, when she's still frustrated about the whole thing. ]

He's not here any longer, though, so that idea is out too.
