[ If one does venture to the Space Bar they will in fact find (1) Marian Hawke, head buried in her device. On the floor beside her foot sits a small cleaning droid with a rather distinctive pattern painted on top of it. She doesn't seem to notice the droid idly beside her, barely raising her head when she accidentally taps it with her foot. ]

Action

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris is here because, well, it's his job and all. He's largely doing busy work, but he does keep passing by on occasion, while she's up to...whatever it is she's up to. He's learned largely not to ask. He usually regrets it if he asks. Eventually, he has the time to come over and look properly at what she's doing. ]

...Is your droid a Grey Warden now? I don't imagine anyone has ever thought to vacuum the Darkspawn to death. Perhaps it would turn the tide of the next Blight.

[ofkirkwall]

[ His voice breaks her from her reprieve, eyebrows raising as she blinks a few times glancing down at the droid by her foot. A smile comes quickly after that, leaning back on her chair she shrugs, giving the elf something of a mischievous look. ]

Who knows, it could be exactly what we have always needed. A few hundred of these little guys down in the Deep Roads could have those blighted bastards running with fear.

[wolfuncaged]

[He offers a small smile of his own, moving to crouch beside her. ]

Truly. They would certainly turn the tide of battle.

So. Boredom has struck you again? It's becoming quite the affliction.

[ofkirkwall]

[ Without thinking she nudges it with her foot again, the droid responds with a couple of small beeps. Maybe she shouldn't be as attached to the damn thing as she is but... well, she is. ]

Kind of, I felt like a little change is all. [ Hawke shrugs, tilting her head towards him. ] Unfortunately we don't have much in the way of roaming street gangs or cities to save to occupy my time, so I went with the alternative. A strong drink and hopefully interesting stories.

[wolfuncaged]

It is a shame Varric isn't here. Have you met Tyrion? He's rather good at spinning a tale. It must be a dwarf thing.

[Still.]

I would have thought we had enough excitement for a while.

[ofkirkwall]

Indeed I have! [ She looks almost proud of herself for that fact. ] He is an interesting fellow, I like him.

[ He is not Varric but she enjoys that dwarf's company. ]

I suppose. [ Gaze flicks off to the side for a moment. ] But is there truly such a thing as enough excitement?

[wolfuncaged]

He is, rather. Good company, too.

[They got to live with what they can get in the way of smartarse dwarves, it seemed.]

If anyone but you were asking that question, I'd consider them mad. But I already know you and your penchant for finding trouble.

[ofkirkwall]

Great company.

[ In truth their lives would be considerably lesser without some sort of dwarven company, a good thing they are not bereft of it. ]

It's not like I look for it... most of the time, it just has a habit of finding me. A lot.

[wolfuncaged]

...That is very true.

[He offers her a small smile. ]

So. What would you like to do? That doesn't involve fixing things.

[ofkirkwall]

I...

[ Hawke frowns slightly. ]

Maker's balls, what else is there even to do?

[wolfuncaged]

I think there are some parts of the Iskaulit that weren't completely set on fire?

[Yep. That's it. Good job, Fenris. ]

[ofkirkwall]

Fenris. [ She gives him something of a mocked scandalous look, that is instantly ruined given the grin on her face. ] Surely you aren't suggesting I go around and set the Iskaulit on fire.

[wolfuncaged]

[He gives a deep, rumbling laugh. ]

I imagine they would all be rather upset with you if I were. We would never be allowed on here again, and I need to be here. I work here.

[ofkirkwall]

I'd wager they'd be more than a little upset with me, there would be a mob! Torches and pitchforks, the works!

[ She's being a little dramatic, of course. ]

I could not live if they banned me from the Isakulit, where else I am supposed to loiter and drink when I have nothing better to do?

[wolfuncaged]

My, it has been a while since we last dealt with a mob.

[Look, when it comes to her, he's taught himself to expect anything.]

Precisely. You'd have to drink on the Tourist and I'm sure that would just be a recipe for disaster in the long run.

[ofkirkwall]

A mob would be disastrous here, there's not nearly enough places to hide.

[ A smart way to be, honestly, considering the giant trouble magnet the name Hawke tends to be. ]

It would be for the person tasked with retrieving me something to drink. I actually like name Nami stocks, it has taste to it!

[wolfuncaged]

Nor dark alleys from which they can spring.

[Bonus? ]

That person being me, I assume? And yes, it does.

[ofkirkwall]

Disappointing really, I grew fond of those dark alley ambushes. Especially the ones that was clearly a trap.

[ Sort of bonus... ]

Naturally. [ She grins. ] I would even start whining, it'd be horrible.

[wolfuncaged]

They did give a certain level fo entertainment to an evening.

[He pulls a face, but he seems to be taking it all in good spirits. ]

Please don't. It would be unbearable.

[ofkirkwall]

Made those midnight walks all the more interesting.

[ She almost wants to pinch his cheeks making the face that he does, almost. ]

But Fenriiiis.

[wolfuncaged]

I'll take your word for it, I tended to be inside by then.

[No romantic walks for him. ]

Ugh, no.

[ofkirkwall]

You know I never thought you were the sort to retreat indoors before midnight.

[ Which was a shame, really, they could have had so many romantic and exciting walks. ]

Fennriss.

[wolfuncaged]

You are a much easier target at night, in the dark, than you are in broad daylight.

[Years of trusting basically no stranger near him still hasn't worn off, it seems. ]

You keep making that noise, but as you can see, I'm not budging.

[ofkirkwall]

Well, you do tend to glow in the dark. Though you are right, I had a lot more people try to kill me at night than in the middle of the day. It must be something about such an attractive woman strolling about the city in the dark that made them think I'm an easy target.

[ Something they regretted quite quickly, somewhere between being set on fire and having the blade of her staff shoved through their stomach. ]

Fenriiisss.

[ She can make him budge, she's determined. ]

[wolfuncaged]

That was a foolish move on their part, then.

[He folds his arms, he's not moving. nope. ]

I'm not listening.
