--er, not to cast a pall on "getting out and about", but...just what are we doing here? I was under the impression we'd thrown in all the scarves and were retiring to Antiva for a life of leisure. I'm not complaining, mind; Maker knows sharing headspace with the rest of the questionable idiots gets wearing on the nerves. Just curious, more like.

Nevertheless, my dear lady, whenever you've a mind to put me to some use, I'm ever willing and ready. Just say the word and your Champion will rise again--Templar propaganda aside, of course.

Just say the word and I'll have your back.

Aveline! [Forgive Hawke's exuberance; he'll try not to wiggle like a happy puppy.] Maker, I'm glad to see you...!

Is there such a thing as a life of leisure in Antiva?

It has been very boring without you.

Probably, if you've coin and contacts to stay alive...which I...don't, but it shouldn't be a problem. We've rolled into a new city penniless and obscure before, right?

Has it, now? I have to say, not being chased by insanely pissed off pirates and smugglers has been quite the novelty.

As I recall, it turned out rather a bit better for you than it did for me.

You managed, didn't you? Did pretty good there in Lowtown...until we showed up.

[She cracks a smile at his enthusiasm.]

As I am you.

[Although perhaps not as glad as he seems to be. Hard to say if that's something to do with circumstances, or just Hawke.]

Lowtown would have been a step up from where I was, I think. [The smile fades.] But joking aside, I don't think things would have turned out any differently if you hadn't shown up, Hawke.

Oh, it wasn't that bad, was it? [ oop, there are those pesky feelings again. has she mentioned how grateful she is.... .. .. . .. .... no? :| ]

Surely there's something to be said for spending your nights in Lowtown, looking for a pair of lost pantaloons.

How've you been? I mean--how are...things? [For all his battle experience, Hawke still wasn't good with "social graces".] All's well as can be, I hope.

They go as expected.

I believe I'm in a similar position as it sounds like you are, with regards to my mun.

[For the sake of everyone concerned, plz to not be bringing it up, Anders. Just...let it go. Please.]

Perhaps.

[And...that's all Hawke was going to say about it. As evidenced by the tension in his shoulders and the tightening of his jaw.]

Mmm, not really? It alleviated the boredom, at least. [Have a wink, Lady Pirate.]

Annnnd, I was keeping a certain drunken elf out of trouble, thank you very much. That in itself was a full time job.

Glad to hear.

Oh? All dressed up and nowhere to go?

I suppose it doesn't matter much now, does it?

[Anders sighs, looking tired with the whole thing, really.]

Well, for your sake, I hope that you get to remain in Thedas. Too much has changed for me since I left, sometimes I wonder what I would even do if I returned.

Not really, no.

As do I, although somehow I don't think it'll be so easy. I know how this one is when she gets an idea in her head and Maker knows I've been bored for too blasted long.

You, bored? And nothing's happened to fix that yet? Not horrible deaths or thefts to look into or anything?

Shocking, isn't it? I'm quite surprised myself.

I'm surprised you haven't gone out and started any trouble in that case. Though I suppose at least the types of trouble you can find in Thedas aren't going to be too much to deal with.

Lack of inspiration, to be honest. She keeps us on a tight leash. As if she knows what sort of trouble we're capable of getting into. Which, in my opinion, isn't the least bit fair.

[Hawke, pouting? NAH.]

Hah, I don't think I can picture you being kept on a tight leash and enjoying it.

[...okay yes he can but he's not Isabela so he might just keep that mental image to himself. For later.]

That part of you never changes, I think.

[And Hawke's ever so appreciative, too.]

I'm no one's lackey, Anders. You know that. It's...tough, to go from the center of everything - regardless of whether I wanted it or not, to being so...stagnant. I bloody well hate it.

Well, I'm fairly certain that soon Thedas will have enough going on to keep everyone busy.

[Annnnd back to that topic again. ~~this is what you get for not shutting up about mages, Anders~~]

Maybe you won't be the centre of things, but still.
