Staring a moment longer at the dog, Anders reluctantly nods and gestures for Hawke to sit in the waiting room. "Please, just... keep a good grip on him."

Then he's heading back to the cats, fetching the kitten and murmuring to her as he returns, including a prayer to the Maker for safety. Eying Hawke and the dog, he slowly sits on the ground, setting the kitten down in front of him. She mewls curiously, glancing back at Anders, then at Hawke and the dog, taking a careful step forward.
