[Nope, none at all. That...tends to sour Fenris' mood more, his brow furrowing. ]

Yes, and dragged him or, indeed, her into a battle which can take their life. Varric did what he had to do. Hawke has done more than enough, they would bleed him dry if they could. As they did with the Hero of Ferelden before him.

[He casts her a level glance. ]

As they will do with you, if your are not careful. If you defeat the darkspawn magister, then what? They will always have some problem to call you to. They will not let you rest until you have nothing left to give.

[She glances toward him at that, her own frown starting to show. Don't go jumping to conclusions, buddy.]

I stood behind Varric for his decisions, Fenris. Maybe I should have doubted him when he was lying, but it was to keep a dear friend out of trouble. I would have done the same thing.

[Catching Cassandra chasing him around tables trying to wring his neck had not been a good day, but even there had never been a question of why Varric did what he did.]

And you may be right, they may always need to call on me, but I have no way of knowing how the fight will end. [She looks down at her hand where the feeling of the Anchor constantly burns, but at least it's not crackling to life at the moment.] My usefulness may not last beyond the final fight, anyway.

[wolfuncaged]

[But it's what he does best. ]

I am well aware of that. You did not know what they were doing before they recruited you.

[Or...you know, gang-pressed you into leading them. That too. ]

If you mean your- [he waves a hand vaguely at her hand] ... I doubt that if it fails, they will leave you be. The Hawke I know has no special abilities whatsoever, and yet it seems they will continue to hound him regardless. They want people able to turn the tide of the future of Thedas. People others will willingly follow.

[Not to mention the whole drank from the Well of Sorrows and becoming bound to an elven god thing. She makes great choices don't ever let anyone tell you differently.]

Solas was the only one who really understood how the mark worked, and it was killing me before we closed the Breach. Corypheus had some control over it even though it's attached to me, so when I face him...

[He might use it against her again, use it to weaken her or make it spread and engulf her like it had been trying to do from the beginning. She has no idea, and that's the part that worries her.]

In any case, if I am available to go on making a difference I'd like to. There are still far too many things wrong in our world.

[wolfuncaged]

[Best choices ever.]

Hm. That...cannot be easy. I'm sorry.

Then you are a better person than I. You still have faith you can change the state of Thedas.

[dawnwillcome]

[Abruptly, she has to grin when she hears that.]

Would you like to know what Varric told me you've been busy doing? It's nothing you'll find upsetting.

[wolfuncaged]

[He gives a shrug of his lanky shoulders, handing her back the bottle. ]

He told me I was hunting slavers.

[dawnwillcome]

[They're sitting close enough that she can lean over and bump his shoulder with hers, just a small sign of affection for someone who isn't entirely enthused about contact, as she takes the bottle from him.]

That makes a good person, in my opinion. You give yourself too little credit, lethallin.

[wolfuncaged]

[He neither tenses nor brushes her away. She has earned that much trust, at least. He does pull a face at the use of Elven, he will never be a fan. ]

If that is what I am doing, I doubt it is because I wish to be a good person. I would be doing it because slavers need to die, it is that simple.
