If this is some kind of joke, it's not a very funny one.
[ If Anders is lying, he's doing a remarkably good job of it - which should be the surest tell that he isn't, considering. He can't even cheat at cards (or, well, not usually); how is he supposed to believably deny something like that? ]
Maybe I've... Thought about burning down a few chantries, in my life, but I've never actually done it. [ Not yet, anyway - the notion of some greater action against the monument to apathy and cruel disregard that is Kirkwall's chantry, in particular, is still only just that: a notion. And not one he's yet found the desperation to seriously consider. ]
And if I had, I think I'd remember it. Probably fondly. [ Although there's no mirth in that brief twist of sarcasm. ]
