I trust Cole. He used to be a spirit; he would know better than anyone else how to separate them.
[ She takes a breath, stops. She isn't trying to push and resigns herself to leaving things as they are, though she wants to implore one last time. ]
I understand the precautions you want to take. I won't speak of it to Cole or to anyone. But I ask that you consider him as an option if - or when - you want to make a more decisive move in any one direction.
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?
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.

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