[Alex is... well, he's just a touch unprepared for all of this. The last thing he'd considered that Anders would tell him upon arriving at his door was 'I tried to make out with my bff.'

But instead of lashing out at the Mage and screaming about the injustice of it all, he settles both hands on his shoulders and squeezes again.]

Anders.... Anders, stop.

[He lowers his hands from the Mage's shoulders, moving to cover his hands as he gently pulls them from his face.]

Sweetheart... it's okay. Stop killing yourself over this. From what I saw, it seemed like you were far from the only one effected by whatever the hell was going on during Valentine's...

[The Were cants a brow slightly, a half smile touching his lips as he does his best to look 'okay' with this. His tone is teasing when he speaks next.]

You don't still want to harm Vie and kiss Hawke, do you?
