Last year, Geldeheim City had glittered for them, cold and translucent like a collection of great icecubes. This time, it was as if someone had taken a hammer to those icecubes. Many buildings still stood, but some were bisected, shattered by beams of power, or perpetually burning with magefire. Some of the city's ubiqutuous flat 3d projection

Anders is rather occupied with trying to settle Justice-or-is-it-Vengeance, and Roxie's presence isn't helping with that, so he doesn't fully process the nuances of Anders, you ignorant slut overreacting thing, you implicit in that look from Hawke, even though it is a look he really ought to recognize.

Later on, however, if the mission is discussed, he'll reiterate his skepticism regarding Roxie's putative plan, and in general, you guys,

Anders: rivalry (+5)

That's right. For all of you! (Except Therru, who has automatically earned a whopping Anders: friendship (+20).)

That +5 would be +10 if you hadn't agreed we should get the dragon out, by the way. Obi-Wan wasn't in the party at that time so he doesn't get any rivalry points or friendship points for objections he could have posed then or for his disapproval when he did show up.

Not that +5 rivalry from Anders is anything to fret over. If you really feel badly about it (and you probably won't), you can always go find some random piece of rubbish in a barrel or gutter, polish it up, and present it to him with a plausible-sounding backstory. Anders, look what I found! It represents the cause of mages! It made me think of you, and how all mages should be free.

For now, have an Anders who looks as though he's trying to fight off the mother of all migraines, hands to temples, gritting out "Best call for a shuttle. Quickest way to get back."

(Hawke misses her previous status of maxed-out friendship level where she was exempt from losing points; perhaps if there are manifestoes later she can offer to proofread and get some points back that way. Or draw him a picture of a cat)

Hawke's eyes narrow; she knows exactly what that vein throbbing in Anders' forehead and the tense way he's biting off words signify, and she doesn't like it one bit. "Good plan. Stay focused, Anders. For her sake." Draw his/Justice's attention back to the goal...

Right, find a shuttle. As soon as possible, and for more than one reason. Clearly the sooner they're out of here, the better.
