Anders shouldn't be so sure about that; somehow, Loghain attained a position as a Senior Grey Warden, despite his travesties.

The name Nathaniel Howe causes him to grow still, but only for a moment. The cat, at least, provides him a distraction, and he does as she bids by providing her a few thoughtful scratches under her chin.

Anders' name earns him the smallest of nods from Loghain, who tells him with a small smirk, "I know who you are." A short pause, and then he offers, "Loghain Mac Tir."
