"Fortunately for me, I am capable of the more usual sort of magic." He isn't particularly strong with it, but he has it. It's something.
He can feel the struggle in Anders, and it makes him respect and like the man so much more. He gets up early enough on his own, but that isn't a thing he is going to admit. "I've no intention of going to Chantry services and I would be very appreciative to go to breakfast with you."
Friendly face, if nothing else, and he knows there is concern there. He doesn't feel he needs it but does feel he needs to encourage that impulse.
It also is just what he wants, and he is not prepared to admit that he might be drawn to (or attracted to) this man he's only just met.
He smiled. "Oh, yes, fortunately. I'm sure they'll have you at work on studies soon enough."
But...the humor isn't want puts a bit of warmth in him, it's the idea of having someone to look forward to seeing. Even if their circles were to only bring them together for meals, that was enough. It might be nice to have a friend again, even if it was a friend he had to resist the urge to pull close or bury his nose in his hair or wonder what those lips felt like. Those feelings he knew how to deal with, at least, certainly better than loneliness.
"Than I'll come rouse you for breakfast and maybe you can sneak away with me to the gardens before you start your day."
Alaric's door was in sight, just down the hall and Anders subconsciously slowed his pace a step.

He is very near actually kissing Anders, but instead takes his hand and gives it a solid, warm, squeeze.
"I'll look forward to both," he says, quietly.
Then bolts.
