There's a soft sigh from Nathaniel. He moves to sit beside his husband, elbows on his knees, fingers interlaced.
"Anders, Senior Warden is not a symbolic position. It means minding small groups and leading them into battle. We can't have you doing that. You're our healer and we need you where you are. If we had more healers, we would place you in charge of them and maybe making you a senior Warden would mean something then. As it already stands, you have a great deal of power. It would be your call, if Alistair or I fell ill, to relieve us of duty. Or anyone, really. That is a great deal of trust being placed in you.
"Moreover, we passed over Velanna and Oghren as well. That's because Senior Warden is not a reward for sticking it out the required length. It's a lieutenancy. We're not wasting someone of your skill set on that."
