If I ended friendships over one disagreement, I'd be a very lonely man indeed. [He chuckles.] If it's any comfort, I'm not concerned much about the opinions of other people in terms of the company I choose to have.

[Most would certainly not approve of a friendship with Anders, and already several do not approve of Nerva. Either way, it's a difficult matter, but he's trying to make a habit of keeping friends instead of losing them.]

I've lost enough friends to know when one is worth keeping. You needn't worry.

[Ah, this. He snorts softly.] Most clans look down upon me, really. Clan Frandruil was the one that I was originally born into but as a boy we ended up... parting ways, shall we say.

I don't really hold much Dalish traditions to heart. Halla included.
