Hello all of you wonderful people, spirits, and creatures of otherworldly origins.

[ Something has put Marian Hawke into an incredibly good mood, why she is practically beaming when she turns on the feed. It almost looks like she just gotten out of bed, deciding the next best course of action is to raid the fridge of what could possibly be her own ship. Which, incidentally, it is not.

For those aboard the Tourist when you enter the kitchen you'll be greeted by Hawke sitting upon one of benches, dressed in nothing more than a somewhat ill fitting tunic ( Fenris isn't that much larger than her, damn scrawny elf ) and her small clothes. That's right, she has forgone pants entirely. Thankfully, or rather unfortunately, the video only shows her upper body, messy dark hair, and Cheshire cat grin. ]

For those who don't know me, my name is Hawke. Marian Hawke, to be precise, but please call me Hawke. It's absolutely lovely to meet you, if I haven't already.

[ She gives a little wave. ]

I was wondering how are we all doing? Hopefully no one has been eaten by any carnivorous plants, or lost their clothes in an card game. [ Yes, she is very concerned about people getting eaten by plants or losing clothes in a card game. The former is unfortunate, the later... well she'd be more upset she wasn't invited. ] I hear getting eaten by a planet can be worse than being chewed on by a bear or a dragon.

Anyway lets chat, I'm incredibly curious what has been going on around the fleet.

Action

[wolfuncaged]

[For the first time in years, Fenris actually got more than a scant few hours sleep. So he rested while Hawke went about traumatising his poor crew. Eventually, though, he gets up, dresses (noting the lack of his tunic) and heads into the kitchen.

He smiles at the sight of her, that she's still here, that it was all real. He crosses the room. pressing a kiss to the top of her head.]

Good morning.

[ofkirkwall]

[ He honestly has horrible sleeping habits, mayhaps even worse than her own. With how sound he had been sleeping she thought it best to simply slip from the room and explore, possibly finding something to entertain herself with or chew on. She was, after all, getting rather hungry.

By the time he finds her she succeeded in her effort for food, a few things sitting beside her. ]

Morning you. [ It's almost stupid how giddy he makes her feel. ] Sleep well?

[wolfuncaged]

I did, in fact.

[Not a perfect night's sleep, but better enough that he feels rested for a change. He can absolutely attribute that to her. He wanders past, turning on the hot drink machine, to get some tea. That done, he moves to sit beside her. ]

Have you been enjoying traumatising my crewmates?

[ofkirkwall]

Alert the Chantry, a miracle has happened! Quick we must record it for prosperity.

[ Her gaze follows him to the hot drink machine, memory flicking back to the little incident with one of his crew mates. As he settles beside her she grins, leaning back a little. ]

I have, watching them fluster and flounder has been greatly entertaining.

[ Isabela would be proud. ]

[wolfuncaged]

That might be a good idea. Maker knows when it will happen again.

[He chuckles softly. He could well imagine how most of his crew would react to her general....Hawkeness. Winn especially. Poor, poor Winn. ]

Oh dear. I hope you were gentle with them. I'm rather fond of them.

[ofkirkwall]

It might happen again sooner than you think.

[ If she has any say in the matter, that is. Still she can't stop herself from looking rather proud of herself, in part for the fact he slept well for once, and in part due to traumatizing his poor crew. Poor, poor Winn. ]

Who do you take me for? Isabela? I was incredibly gentle, only made one of them spill coffee on themselves.

[ Guess who. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[Okay, that gets a grin out of him, his head canted to one side. ]

Is that a fact? Well. I shall bear that in mind.

[He gives a soft, albeit very fond snort of amusement. ]

...It was Winn, wasn't it?

[ofkirkwall]

Mhmm.

[ She casually pops some of the rather edible food ( thanks Kara ) into her mouth slowly then, eyes locked with his. ]

It was Winn.

[wolfuncaged]

[He visibly twitches at that, before a sly smirk crosses his face. ]

Very soon, in fact.

...I cannot say I'm surprised. I hope he survived the experience mostly intact. I'm rather fond of him.

[ofkirkwall]

Good thing I haven't gotten dressed yet.

[ Now she's just being terrible, sitting here in a public space flirting and all that. She'd be ashamed if she had any shame to speak of or actually cared.

She just laughs, chewing happily before a look of surprise takes over her features. ]

Did I hear correctly? You're fond of someone other than myself or Varric? [ Everyone is fond of Varric, don't even deny it. ] I... I am shocked, the world as I knew it... it's in shambles.

[ Hawke, please. ]

[wolfuncaged]

It's a very good thing indeed.

[He chuckles, low and deep (on purpose) before his smile softens.]

I'm rather fond of most of my crew, to be honest. They are good people, I'm fortunate to have met them.

[ofkirkwall]

[ She has half a mind to drag him back to his room and bar the door, but she is rather hungry. Her stomach wins out this time.

Despite her mocking her expression turns soft. ]

I'm glad you've met them, Fenris. [ Glad he hasn't been alone here, that he found people to trust and depend on. He had very few back in Kirkwall outside of their group. ] Look at you, all grown up and making friends.

[wolfuncaged]

[He really, really wouldn't have complained. As is, he happily settles himself next to her. ]

You say that like I am incapable.

[A long pause. Yeah. Okay. He's actually really bad at it. ]

...They are good people. I suppose I lucked out on my ship.

[ofkirkwall]

[ An eyebrow raises, lips pursed together in a barely held back smile. ]

You're not nearly as bad as you used to be.

[ But yes, she is saying he has a hard time making friends. Something they all know very well.

Hawke sighs picking at the hem of his tunic. ]

Guess I can't steal you from them, then.

[wolfuncaged]

Good to know I have improved somewhat.

[He huffs in amusement, leaning in to press a kiss to her jaw.]

I am afraid not. I could not leave them. I...would not want to.

[It's the first time he's felt at home since...well, ever.]

[ofkirkwall]

[ Is it stupid to suddenly feel maybe a little jealous of the entire Tourist crew? Because she feels just a little bit jealous of them.

Glancing back at him she swallows, fingers curling around fabric. ]

And me?

[ Maybe a dangerous question to ask but... well, she wants to know. Needs to know. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[His expression softens, a hand moving to cover hers. His eyes catch hers and hold them, because he wants her to know that this is said with zero hesitation.]

I would not...could not...leave you, either.

[ofkirkwall]

[ It's all that she needed to hear to banish the doubt from her heart, the fear of losing him again. She lets go of the breath she had been unaware she was holding, turning her hand to lace her fingers with his. ]

Neither would I.

[ Not here, not now she has him back again. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He squeezes her hand gently, his lips curving up into a small smile.]

Then that is good for both of us.

[ofkirkwall]

[ Hawke kisses him then, hand entwined with his in the kitchen of his ship, happy and content for what feels like the first time in months. ]

I'll just have to come visit then. [ She hums a little to herself. ] So often your crew will get sick of me.

[wolfuncaged]

[He returns the kiss, chuckling softly against her lips. When he pulls back, he presses his forehead against hers. ]

You would be most welcome. They would probably enjoy the chance for some gossip.

[ofkirkwall]

[ She grins a little. ]

It's a good thing I know how to be the source of gossip then, they'll have plenty of it.

[wolfuncaged]

[One eyebrow arches as his lips curl into a smirk.]

Oh? They'll have plenty of it, will they? Is that a fact?

[ofkirkwall]

Of course they will. Who would I be if I didn't give these poor sods something to gossip about?

[ There is a devious look in her eyes, spreading to her lips. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He chuckles, amused. ]

How exceptionally selfless of you.
