“Well! They’re going to find out at some point anyway…there are already plenty of spies and gossipers at Skyhold…Varric gets his information for his books from somewhere…”

“Mmmhmm. It’s safe to assume then it’s the latter.”
“And yes…I suppose that was an ironic idiom…”
His heart fluttered when she rubbed the stubble on his face, immediately capturing his undivided attention. He inhaled deeply and looked into her eyes, still holding his arms around her waist.

“Yes, I would like you to access my magic again. I want to know what it could be and how I wasn’t aware of it. I’m curious how long it could have been there? I guess only a Seeker of Truth would have been able to detect it.” ⚜️

I wanted to clarify that included my mother and sister as well. I don’t have a ‘woman in every port’ or anything like that. I don’t want you to think you aren’t special — because you are.”
If she were to reveal his chest scar, he wouldn’t half-mind. He did tell her about it after all.

Hawke could feel her lean into him more, he secured his hold tighter around her waist. Her Nevarran accent was very cute & how she spoke with diction and so eloquently.
“Are you trying to be cute or does it just come natural? Because it’s working…”
“What I said earlier about the women in my life -

He smirked as he sat and watched her exuberantly go through the motions of how she would present the different types of cheese to the nobles.
"I was...but that was very entertaining to watch! I could just stay here all day, my lady -- you are so delightful. I love how you love what you do."

"…I've really got to work more on picking up that dry sense of humor of yours. Just when I thought I was starting to get it..." he smiled charmingly as he snapped his fingers.“I couldn’t tell if you were actually mad at me for a second. Guess that means we’ll just need to spend more time together…”⚜️

That made him laugh. "Oh come now, you know I was only jok--"
His words were cut off when she pulled him over for a kiss, wrapping his arms around her to hold her closer, kissing her with more vigor than he had previously. He pulled back a moment to catch his breath.
"Wow..."

Hawke smiled then quipped, “Well then, I’m glad to have lived up to your expectations, because you know what they say – ‘never meet your heroes.'"
“But in all seriousness, I like you & what we have here. You've been a breath of fresh air -- literally, after spending time underground for so long.”⚜️

"No, it's not like that at all, you're not keeping me from anything. Quite the opposite -- you've given me the motivation to do what I do."
He glanced down at their hands intertwined, then smiled.
"It has been...energizing spending time with you. Ironic how we came together like this, isn't it?

His heart lifted from her show of deep concern for him.
Shane's eyes were still glassy. “I -- thank you. Being with you like this has been…revitalizing, to say the least.”
He reached for her hand and gripped it tight, giving it a reassuring squeeze. ⚜️

Hawke nodded again. “We do.”
A pause. “I’ve…lost most of the women in my life important to me, due to life or circumstance. My lifestyle endangers them. Some can keep up, others..." he trailed off.
When Cassandra turned his head, his attention focused on her alluring brown eyes.

“Naturally I look at the positive side of things and am happy, but sometimes humor just helps deflect emotions I don’t want to deal with.”
He leaned forward on the table on his forearms, staring at the scratches, deep cuts and dents in the wooden table.
"I've...never told anyone this before."⚜️

-- my cousin, and many friends, but…they all come and go. All the traveling and wandering just gets…lonely after a while.”
Hawke never speaks candidly as he was now. Raw emotion emerging from him as how Cassandra did moments earlier.
“I hide behind humor,” he admitted.

He listened to Cassandra’s consoling words, nodding as his eyes welled up more.
“Yeah…I hope so, I…miss her. And mother. I did all of this for them, and they…aren’t even here to enjoy it.” He pounded his fist hard on the table in anger, frustration.
“I know I’ve still got Carver, my uncle and --

"We fled Lothering during the Blight, fought our way through hoards of darkspawn. An ogre attacked our family. Bethany...was brave, ran in front to save us...I was...too late and it took her from us."
"I..." A tear rolled down. "I failed my little sister...I didn't protect her when it mattered."⚜️

He started to tear up recalling time with his little sister.
“We were very close since we both learned magic from our father. We bonded over practicing our lessons together. She was close with Carver in a different way, them being twins and all. I'd always follow her around, protecting her."

"Me too. Leliana & our family go way back. I hadn't seen her again until she came to Kirkwall that day."
He smiled. "Bethany would've loved to have met you too. She'd be asking so many questions of what it's like to be a Seeker & the Right Hand. I guess I asked all those questions on her behalf."

“My sister was curious about religious stories and spent a lot of time at the Chantry. Leliana was actually there at the time and got to know Bethany. She would come home retelling some of Leliana’s exciting tales.”
"She looked up to me as her big brother, but envied the way I embraced magic."⚜️

"Good...good," he said, hand still over his stomach. That would leave a bruise later.
He flashed a sad smile. "Bethany..."
"Her magic started when she was 9. She projected a school bully across a field. Our family feared having 3 of us as mages now, so we quickly moved to Lothering."

He let out a groan, holding his stomach, then held his hand on the table to pull himself back up.
“Yeah…of course…anytime….” He said through gritted teeth & another moan. “You certainly don't pull your punches, Seeker.”
After a few minutes to collect himself, he asked. “Do you feel any better?”⚜️

Shane did give her permission to hit him to relieve tension, yet he still wasn’t fully prepared for the full force of her punch.
It happened what seemed like lightning speed. He gritted his teeth anticipating the blow, yet the punch to his gut and leg kick knocked him backwards off the chair.

Hawke began rubbing her back slowly. “I know…I know you miss them…it’s hard letting go, it’s never the right time.”
He reached up with his free hand to brush away some of the tears with his thumb. “Showing emotion doesn’t mean you’re weak. You’re human.”
He continued to gently rub her back. ⚜️
