Merrill had been thinking about running, but the kitten was doing a good job of keeping her there. She'd picked him up and was talking back to him when Anders came out.
"Oh, I.. I'll just knock next time." Back in Kirkwall, Hawke and all the others had just walked into eachother's homes whenever they pleased. Of course, Hawke and Anders probably wouldn't have wanted Sandal and Bodahn to see them naked, so she imagined most of their nudity was restricted to the bedroom. Varric and Isabela stayed at the Hanged Man, so Aveline probably would have had to arrest them if they'd walked around naked. Fenris seemed far too cranky to walk around nude, and Merrill hadn't ever seen any reason to in her small home in the Alienage.
She cradled Ser in one arm and grabbed one of the feathered toys, tickling the kitten's nose with it. She may have been avoiding looking at Anders, just a bit.
