I've got some important things to do, very important, so you're all going to have to survive without me for a while. If you get into any trouble and I'm sure you all will, just... go to Aveline, she'll fix it. Won't you Aveline? [ She'll make it up to her later, she swears. ]

So don't go fighting any dragons without me. [ She totally scribbles a little ♥ at the end of that. ]

Sorry

[ A few more false starts before she erases the filter all together. He should be able to figure out what she's going to be doing, he's smart like that. ]

The dwarf is gone... well he's been gone for a while, must've forgotten to mention it with the whole castle taking a giant camping trip to Crazyville. [ A pause. ] Figures Varric would be the first to make a break for it. [ Now who is going to listen to her moan about things and turn them into ridiculous stories? ]

Anyway... know of any good caves around here? Haven't had a decent cave adventure in a while.

It's nothing like that, don't worry. [he'll set the basket down on the table with the wine] Just some food and wine.

What the occasion?

[ ... well, better to be blunt about this, right? he'll shift a little, folding his arms across his chest]

... I met Bethany.

How did that go?

It went alright. [okay, it probably didn't go amazingly, but askdjsa] But I wanted to see how you were doing.

I'm fine.

[he's silently staring at the back of her head for now. he knows she's lying -- being around her for so many years has made it much easier for her to recognize her behavior, when she's lying/hiding something, etc. etc.

but he'll just let out a sigh that says he knows she's full of it, and give her a chance to talk about it without being prompted.

... he kind of doubts she will, though]

[he'll be frowning and taking a few steps towards her, arms still crossed over his chest. so very unconvinced, hawke!! he knows all about this lying to yourself business -- he does it a lot too, but being the giant hypocrite that he is, he doesn't want her bottling these things up. it's bad for you hawke!]

Hawke.

Anders.

Enough with the theatrics. You don't have to pretend in front of me.

[at least he hopes she doesn't feel like she has to :(]

This is not me being theatrical, Anders.

Well, you're obviously not fine, or you wouldn't be heading off on a "cave adventure".

[he'll pinch the bridge of his nose and sigh]

I'm not about to force you to talk, but ... if you need anything, I'm here for you. [just like when leandra died :c]

I know.

...

[glances down at her, worried and trying to read her expression :c he can't ... really say that he sympathizes, but ... aahhh it kills him to see her upset )X]

...Thanks for the wine.

[he'll pause, before turning to watch her]

I thought you might have use for it.

I'll have a lot of use for it.

... Perhaps I should have brought more than one. [alksdj sounds so worried for her :(]

I'll be fine, I'm always fine so stop worrying. It's not like I'm going to go find a cliff to throw myself off.

Just because you're not about to kill yourself doesn't mean I can't be concerned.

[he's hesitating, before he'll put a hand on her shoulder carefully. not making her turn around or anything. smiles wryly]

I don't like seeing you upset.

I tried the cheerful route, but it turns out it's not easy to do when your little sister is back from dead.

I know. I'm not -- I'm not asking you to be cheerful, or even alright.

[steps a little closer, but ... still giving her some space. feels a little guilty now, because saying that he doesn't like her upset sort of came out ... selfishly askdjas]

I know, Anders. I was being sarcastic.

[A HUG MIGHT BE IMMINENT, HAWKE. but for now he just moves a little closer, his grip on her shoulder tightening just a little bit. ... he debates pointing out that she was just pretending that everything was fine, and THAT certainly wasn't sarcastic, but ... he refrains.

instead, he'll just let out a small sigh]

I want to help.
