"Then I'm glad it's not a negative effect. I'd never want to hurt either of you, even unintentionally."
And having his innate power affect either of them negatively would definitely count as hurting, in Altair's book. While he hadn't really been aware of Justice to begin with with the exception of Anders feeling a bit different, he cared for both of them now, and would probably recommend a bit of distance between them should his presence have a negative effect on either of them.
"And yet no one's shrieking about locking them up. Or any other non-mage, for that matter. I'd bet any person could become possessed should the cards happen to fall that way."
Not being as exposed didn't mean immune, after all, in the same way the Force could affect those not sensitive to it in his own world. A particularly determined spirit could even take control of droids. So the idea was hardly so outlandish.
"... I feel like I should apologize to you again. First my species, now this..."
He was rarely inclined to lie at home- he didn't often need to despite being Sith- but here it felt like he was living a lie most of the time, all things considered. Well, aside from the lie about being a Pantoran, anyway, though even that had become less and less common.
Still, thinking back, he felt like he should have just come clean about everything back when he revealed his species.
