I believe, they were streamlining the ending a bit. Either his attitude is changed due to Hawke's influence or it is changed by Elthina's death. No matter what, he'll leave the chantry eventually, I suppose.
Perfect hook if you'd like to see him come back in a sequel or expansion.
If you rival him there comes nothing of it. He mentions that the Viscountess of Kirkwall and the Prince of Starkhaven could form a strong alliance, but he doesn't pursue anything. He just gives the merest hint at the end that he might be interested in Hawke (had things been different). "But let's not think about that now."
It's clear that whatever was there or might have been, he's leaving Kirkwall. End of story ... for now.
