it begins...

Who: You! Us! Everyone!
Broadcast: ???
Action: All over! It's a planet/moon mingle!
When: 8/15-9/12, or until captcha kills us all

Show some spirit! It's a new system, and that means new people, new shenanigans, new adventures, savvy? You'd better have enough moxie to thrive in this one...

Or maybe you're just here for the food.

[Needless to say, the fact Hawke insists on infiltrating all of the factions despite the dangers doesn't sit well with Anders. He'd rather they just get what they need from one faction and then find someone else among the fleet to get whatever else they might need from the last one.

But Hawke was Hawke and Anders had long since learned that it was nearly impossible to change the man's mind. Especially when it came to some of his more foolish ideas.

He had plenty of reasons to be in the library, he had his own curiosity to sate and books others were looking for, but he might also be keeping an eye on his wayward lover as well. Anders is quiet as he comes to Hawke's side and makes to look like he's simply looking in the same area as Hawke, his voice low when he finally speaks.]


I don't think you should stay overly long, you're not very good at being 'Spirit,' love.
wolfehawke: (oh you)

I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, Anders.

[It was cute when he'd voiced his concerns before Adalwolfe had even donned his stuffy robes. Endearing, even. I reveled in every crease of Anders' eyebrows for his sake, every worried downturn of the spirit healer's mouth that he could kiss away and taste the trepidation directed at him, however unnecessary.

Now it was a little less cute, hours later and in the middle of supposed 'enemy territory' since he's officially signed up with Savvy, but Adalwolfe can't let this opportunity pass. He'd signed up too quickly, honestly, and should have stuck his proverbial hat in the ring with Spirit to begin with in order to get access here. Hunting had done Drools good but this is important and he can't even really tell Anders why, not exactly.

The other mage knows generally what they're looking up; ways to separate him from the spirit sharing his body, but he doesn't know that Adalwolfe will look at any and all methods, including things that will erase Vengeance from the equation entirely. He can't tell Anders that, mostly because then Vengeance would know and rise up to stop him, but also because Anders would be mortified. He still cares for the spirit, bless his bleeding heart.

Hawke pulls a book from the shelf and starts thumbing through it idly, grinning.]


I have all kinds of spirit.

[He glances at Anders with a curling smirk, unable to help himself.]

No need to worry, even if I'm not as... spirited as you.
apurrstate: (Amused | Small Smile)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-08-28 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Anders made a dismissive noise and shook his head. He wished he wasn't amused, curse this man for knowing how to make him smile when he was certainly trying to remain serious.]

Yes, well, I think I have enough spirit for the both of us, don't you? Leave me to do the looking, I know what you're after.

[What purpose was there in them both being there?]
wolfehawke: (total innocence)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-08-29 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing wrong with two pairs of eyes. It's a big library, we'll be less likely to miss things.

[A tone creeps into his voice, the one he's only used a handful of times before when it came to subjects that he was about to be stubborn about. Hawke's rarely stubborn, preferring to appease others whims and wants so long as they didn't cause any harm. It's rare that he puts his foot down, but here he seems about to.]

I'll take you to dinner after, alright? My last sponsor contribution was more than generous, we can spoil ourselves.

[Not only stubbornness, but he offers a distraction and bribery.]
apurrstate: (Arms crossed)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-08-30 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Anders heard that creeping tone and the crease between his brows deepened for it. Hawke was really serious about looking for himself if he was putting his foot down like that. Why?

He didn't ask.

Instead, he tried not to think about it and gave a fake-affronted sniff of disdain.]


You can't simply bribe me with good food whenever you want me to leave something alone, Adalwolfe Hawke. I'm not that easy of a date.

[His lips cracked upward at the corner.]

All the same, I accept your offer.

[It would be nice. Not just for the distraction it would provide, but when was the last time they'd even had a date? Literal years? Probably.]
wolfehawke: (Pulling my leg)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-08-30 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I can, I will, and you completely are.

[He grins warmly and leans over to place a kiss to the side of Anders' face, both his hood and his goatee brushing the other mage's cheek with the gesture.]

Maker, how long as it been since we could just sit somewhere without looking over our shoulders?

[A beat.]

...Have we ever been able to do that?
apurrstate: (Fond Smile)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-08-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[The kiss makes Anders' smile grow a bit, warmth spreading through him despite the reservations still lurking in his thoughts.]

Let's see: between the coterie, the carta and the Templars, no, no I don't think we have.

[He flipped through another book he'd found.]

I won't know what to do with myself.
wolfehawke: (smug)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-08-30 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well that settles it. I don't really want to wait to find out.

[He snaps the ultimately useless volume he'd been looking at closed and 'helps' Anders to put his book away too. And by helps, he means plucks it from his hands and places it back on the shelf.]

I was here yesterday, we can come back tomorrow, and I'm starving, so let's just go now.
apurrstate: (Hawke | Adalwolfe)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-08-31 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Anders gives him a less than impressed look about having the book taken from him, but he doesn't argue either. Going out with his lover certainly sounded nicer than standing around in a stuffy library.]

Alright.

[His fingers thread through Hawke's and give a light squeeze.]

Lead on.
wolfehawke: (Sheepish)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-08-31 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[And on he does lead. For how hungry he is, it's surprising that he takes Anders all the way to their docked shuttle first, but he needs to shed the robes and don his green scarf before they continue or where he has in mind will be twice as expensive. He may have the money to burn, but considering he actually is officially a member of Savvy, it's better this way. Since he's the one paying he doesn't think Anders needs to change clothes.

The quick change and then they're off again to another part of the city, strolling along the high walkway overlooking the strangely unfinished landscape. He slips his hand into Anders' again as they go, reveling in the ability to just be.]


I'd figured tavern food - you could use a good hearty stew - but I should probably ask what you're actually in the mood for.
apurrstate: (Fond Smile)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-08-31 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Warmth spreads from Adalwolfe's hand to Anders' chest and his heart flutters as he glances over to Hawke. Only Hawke.

The flutter in his chest brought a smirk to his face.]


You.
wolfehawke: (Oh ho ho...)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-08-31 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[That unabashed, slightly filthy answer has Adalwolfe pausing and looking at his partner, wondering if they should turn right around and go back to the shuttle this instant. He doesn't blush, but he does smirk right back, pulling Anders towards him and stealing a kiss that's far less gentle than the way he's holding Anders close to him.]

Right answer.
