[Of course Alistair has to look for him. Though Nathaniel makes a face at Loghain's name, the rest he can agree with. He squints, wondering why Alistair is asking his opinion, rather than asking for a favor. Why would Alistair speak to him but for a favor? Or as a colleague, he supposes. Or as someone else chewed up and spat back out by Ferelden's feudal system.
A sigh.]
Well. Don't tell her until there's more to go on. There's no cause to escalate it to that level yet. But you might want to tell someone, so that your arse is covered before you get in trouble for something. Maybe Eamon--he'd be a good one to know when it's time to tell her. And he might be able to pull a few strings to get you resources to help. The flip side is he might take it out of your hands altogether, since his first loyalty is to the crown.
[Nathaniel was looking away this entire time. With effort, he finally looks Alistair in the eye.]
The real question is, would you prefer to hand it off to the crown? Or do you want to go out there and find your father?
