Anders was really just minding his own business. Both Marian and Marion had been bugging him about getting some food and sunshine. They were also reminding him that he didn't actually live in the clinic anymore, and Hawke would appreciate his company now and again. So that was exactly what he was doing. As well as trying to find some more friends that weren't named Marian, or any variation.
Then he saw Cullen. Andraste's flaming tits maybe it wasn't too late to turn around. That corner right over there looked very interesting. Maybe he could just study the ground and Cullen would miraculously go away. He had been enjoying his Templar free existence. Clearly whoever was behind these boats was intent on raining on his parade. After all, they brought Nadia here.
SQUEEE (also so sorry XD. Anders is DA2 Act II)
