Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s not
Who: Adalwolfe Hawke and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes (Three Twins med bay)
When: Now
[Video]
[Some may know and some may not, but even with the little communications crisis going on right now, Adalwolfe is not on the ship he's assigned to. Currently, he's been haunting the medical bay of the Three Twins instead, which is what's vaguely in the background of the video as it winks into broadcast.]
Hey everyone, Hawke here. The male one, obviously.
[He takes an awkward breath, looking a little dark and strained around the eyes, mostly from lack of sleep.]
I know there are other things going on, and these comas are perhaps old hat to some of you especially with how frequently they've been going around right now, but is it... is it normal to age so quickly in one of these mysterious comas?
[He rolls his chair out of the way of the device he has sitting on the counter, giving a side view of Anders laying prone in one of the hospital style cots, eyes closed and Ser Pounce-a-lot the orange tabby curled on his chest with no intention of moving. Anders has grown far more gaunt than when he was up and around last week, and has more than his carefully groomed five-o-clock shadow in stubble about the chin. The beard would be worse if Adalwolfe hadn't taken the time to carefully shave his fellow mage, but he's not about to announce that on the network.]
I hope it is. Otherwise I'm worried he'll waste away like this.
[Adalwolfe rolls back into view, blocking all but the swishing of Ser Pounce's tail.]
Also, to the First Breath crew, I'm sorry I'm not there to take care of the device. I'll be back--
[A glance back at Anders and Hawke shakes his head.]
I'll be back when I'm back. Until then, help yourselves to the bread and things I have stored in the galley from the last planet as an apology. There should be enough to last weeks. Just leave enough of the frozen meat to last Ser Drools until the next planet.
[With an uncharacteristically grim expression, Hawke pauses, then decides he's said his piece until someone answers, and shuts off the feed rather abruptly.]
[Action]
After shutting off the feed, Hawke leans back in his chair, flopping his forearm over his eyes for a moment as if that will somehow block out his worry. He's not sure what he's more anxious over - the thought that Anders won't wake up by himself and he'll have to try and desperately wake him in a panic before he turns to nothing but a husk, or the thought that Anders will wake up with memories of his future, memories of Kirkwall, and Adalwolfe won't be in them. It's a distinct possibility, either way. They both remember Riona, which bodes well, but so does Leliana and yet Leliana doesn't know him at all, which puts him back to square one on what to expect.
Ser Drools whines from under the console at Hawke's feet, responding to his master's turmoil. Or responding to his own turmoil at not being able to get close to Anders' bed for the cat keeping stalwart vigil on Blondie's chest.
Hawke lowers his arm and leans down to pet his dog instead, trying to stop moping and fretting for Ser Drools' sake as much as his own. He's just resolving to do that when the door opens and Adalwolfe's attention spins to that, hand poised over his puppy to see who's come in and for what.
"If you need medical attention, I'm afraid the doctor is out just now."

He wishes Anders had been more protected. Even if it means he never would have met him, that meant Anders was safe instead of what actually happened, Hawke would have preferred it.]
I just wanted to make sure. Thank you. I'm sorry I keep bringing up such unpleasant things.

I think in the future, we just need to... talk about the future less. Frankly, I think I'm at my limit of what I want to know. [A pause.] That's not aimed just at you, either.

[Only as far as he's aware, he's one of the furthest along as far as the Thedosians go. Actually he doesn't know, he hasn't asked, but he gets the feeling Leliana would be cagey about it if she was from further. Cole though, maybe, but that may not matter either. Who knows what's different considering he's from a different version of Thedas. Which... is a good point to make.]
Even if someone could say, it still might not be my future though. Or yours. There could be comfort in that I think, even in as much as there's fear.
[A weird thing to say, he knows, picking at the console top. He's terrified that Anders is from a different future - a different present. There's no comfort to be found in that.]
Or not.
[He sighs, so very tired. He wants to just sleep but he can't even do that much. Ten minutes later he's awake again because he imagines he heard the other mage move or talk or get up. It's never the case, but it rouses him anyway.]
I'm sorry. I'll let you go. Have a good evening, Your- [He corrects himself, remembering her request.] Commander.

[She doesn't like advocating for ignorance, but sometimes it's necessary.]
Get some sleep, Adalwolfe. He'll nag you if you don't. [She offers a weak smile.] Good night. [She ends the feed there, hoping he'll do as she says.]
