[A sigh. This is hard. Anders is his husband and his subordinate both. He knows why someone might fear Anders. He knows why Anders reacted how he did. And he wishes he could express professionally the things he knows privately, that Anders would never hurt anyone under his care as a healer. But it would be like fighting a fire with a teaspoon.]
