[Anders jumps when the bushes apparently speak to him; many of the mages avoided him now, knowing what he'd done to cause the chaos which was starting to stretch across Thedas, and he could hardly blame them for that. But it did mean that conversation was not something he engaged in that regularly now. However the fact that the bushes spoke with an Antivan accent meant it was probably not a mage who wished to speak with him secretly, and after a moment he placed where he'd heard that voice before.

He couldn't help the faint smile at the memory of the voice's owner, an echo of one he had given far more easily years ago.]

It depends on the favour, although the handsome elven assassin doesn't have to hide when he asks. Even if this particular mage can't help him, he won't harm the assassin either.
