After the Deep Roads.

[After she lost her brother.

The treasure she'd brought back had been enough to give her some importance, make the viscount listen to their case.]


Kind of wish I hadn't.

Then the viscount wouldn't have known who I was.
hawkethat: (i was just kidding)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I did the same.

[So that's not different, then. Up to and including the Deep Roads expedition...which he still hasn't quite got over, even though he had just received word that the Grey Wardens had managed to save Carver's life.]

Apparently some qunari have kidnapped the Viscount's son; he just finished asking me to look for him before I wound up here, instead.

[pause]

I suppose he asked you to help him, too.
selfmadewoman: (Considering)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
...That's how it all started.

[That poor kid.

That poor, poor kid. He's one of the many faces that haunts her dreams at night. One of the various voices that asks "Why weren't you able?" There's too much blood on her hand. Too much innocent blood.]
hawkethat: mage (if only you knew)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Well then.

I never got the chance. That is, I wound up in front of that infuriating fountain before I could even go looking.
selfmadewoman: (Harsh)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Go to the Chantry.

[It's all she can say. It's the only thing that matters: making sure someone else might be in time to save him.]

Don't go to the Arishok. Go to the Chantry.
hawkethat: (why yes my beard is quite magnificent)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, splendid. Two of my very favorite Kirkwall tourist spots.

[Welp.

Also, uh. She sure does have a few bags and things. Maybe he should stop being a progress-impeding asshole and offer to show her to the crew quarters.]


Do you want to set those down somewhere? I can show you the crew quarters, or the galley, whichever is more appropriate.
selfmadewoman: (Unimpressed)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather spend a year with the Qunari than a day in the Chantry.

[At least the Qunari are honest.]

I've got... supplies. Bones for the mabari, bandages for Anders...
hawkethat: (sincere crazy eyes)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose with the Qunari at least there's a nice view.

[UFUFUFUFU.]

...You brought bones for the dogs?

[You're his new favorite person.]
selfmadewoman: (Smile)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Isabela told me there were mabari here.

Of course I brought bones.

[She's a Ferelden at heart. And that means she loves dogs. Especially extremely intelligent dogs like the mabari.]
hawkethat: (that worked out pretty well)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
You'll be their new favorite person.

[Although now that she mentions it...]

You don't have a dog?
selfmadewoman: (Considering)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't.

[She has to stop and stare for a moment.]

...Do you?
hawkethat: (please think about what you just said)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[What is this tragedy? D:]

His name's Champion.

[...oh wait. Haha. Uh.]

Father brought him home as a puppy about a year before he...well.

[Uh. You know.]

[LUCKILY before this can get any more awkward, CHAMPION THE MABARI ARRIVES TO SAVE THE DAY! He walks right up to Marian and jabs his nose right into her sternum, where he commences sniffing busily. What a charmer, huh?]


Champ, where are your manners?
selfmadewoman: (Smile)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
What are manners between family?

[She and Garrett have never met, no. But she's a Hawke. And so is he. And obviously the mabari knows it. Or so she'll tell herself.

She smiles, scratching behind one of the mabari's ears.

The words are out before she can stop herself:]


I bet Carver loved him.
hawkethat: (i'm the champion of kirkwall)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Mother would be ashamed.

[Also she would not allow the dog half the liberties he's taking with Marian.]

Bethany loved him, too.

[oh no, sibling feelings...subject change, subject change!!]

Anders hates him. Or at least he pretends he does.

[That's better. >.>]
selfmadewoman: (Smirk)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Family.

Too many feelings about family. Far, far too many.

But. Topic change! Good, good.]


Well, Anders is a cat person.

Isabela mentioned a cat, so I brought some string for it.
hawkethat: (now you're speaking sense!)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
That'll make him happy. He was talking about finding some string for it to play with.

[Yes, let's talk about Anders and his kitten, that is a much better topic.]

It uses the dogs as a bed.
selfmadewoman: (Smirk)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
So. Not that different than Anders, then.

[She grins a little.]

Totally fearless against all logic.
hawkethat: (sincere crazy eyes)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
And occasionally insufferable at the most inconvenient moments.

[He's grinning a bit, too.]
selfmadewoman: (Smile)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
But you just can't stay mad at him.

[So she says now. If she only knew...]
hawkethat: (i'm the champion of kirkwall)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Just like a scruffy kitten.

[If only they both knew...]

[Champion, meanwhile, has since ceased his olfactory inspection of Marian and sat his doggie butt down on her foot; a clear sign of acceptance and doggie favor.]
selfmadewoman: (Default)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[And she idly pets the dog on the head, smiling a bit. Okay, make that smirking.]

I wonder if we could get Anders to play with string...
hawkethat: (trust me i'm a professional)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-16 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Probably only if he were also playing with the kitten.

[But it is a cute mental image, with or without the kitten. Hm!]

But, I suppose you never know until you try.

[And now that she's suggested it, he's totally going to try.]
selfmadewoman: (Smile)

[personal profile] selfmadewoman 2014-03-16 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
It's more than worth trying.

[Which makes her smile just thinking about her.

Much better than thinking about family and all of that.]
hawkethat: (now you're speaking sense!)

[personal profile] hawkethat 2014-03-18 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Now I'm picturing him rolling around on his back and pawing at the string dangled just out of reach.

[Yes, let's not talk about family, let's just talk about Anders and how cute Anders is.]
