Compliments, backhanded or otherwise, rarely affect Loghain; his service record could involve restoring the Golden City to its former glory, rendering it a worthy seat for the Maker again, and it would still never be enough to make up for the dead in the fields of Ostagar, Maric's son hung like some grisly war trophy on a tree for the darkspawn to defile and degrade. There is no amount of penance in the world to wash away those sins, but that doesn't mean penance shouldn't be done anyway. Loghain meets Nathaniel's eyes through his description of his history and says nothing.

It's news of Jonas Cousland's death that registers a reaction from him. For a second, he looks like he's been punched, exhaling, winded. He reaches up a hand to press his fist to his mouth.

"Oh, Anora," are his only words, weighted with sadness for a daughter who should not have had to bury one husband, let alone two.
