"I could not get much of an answer out of him on that front either. Expecting him to be rational when he is in a huff is like wishing for Orlesians to make good wine or Fereldans to like cats." Highly unlikely and a foolish venture, more or less. "But I can guess at some of his hurt."
He knows Alistair well enough, after all. Knows what he'd said while angry, can guess at some of the motivations. "He feels abandoned by you, I think. He does not know what you endured- if he did he would feel like a terrible ass, there would be a great deal of understanding and likely an offer to go find the man that harmed you so he might kill him. He is a terribly decent sort, that way. But what happened led to you withdrawing, yes? You spoke to him less. He noticed."
