Elsewhere. I see. [Justice assumes that Anders went with the other Gray Wardens in the Deep Roads, and has been difficult to reach. Justice hopes that Anders has not died there. Although, he realizes with a chill, that might explain the personality change.
He's sure Riona would volunteer the information if she knew for sure that Anders had died, so he doesn't ask. He can tell that she doesn't like talking about this, and perhaps he can understand why. If he didn't know where his friends were, he probably would not like talking about it either, especially if there was a high probability they were dead or he'd never see them again.
So instead, he changes the topic from Anders and himself to something she might like to discuss.] I met your husband the other day. He said that he had already found you.
I am happy for you. [It may come out awkward and stilted, but Justice cannot be more sincere when he says that. Riona deserves happiness, and the idea that she may have it makes Justice happy in turn. Justice may try to support her, but an awkward spirit friend cannot make her happy like her husband can. And to top it off, her husband seems like a good man that Justice can see himself becoming fond of.]
