[Open] Do you believe in magic?
Who: Adalwolfe Hawke and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes, Iskaulit or Three Twins
When: During drift week
[While the Fleet was mostly in dry dock at the last port and the Three Twins was getting an overhaul at the expense of basically the entirety of Wolfe's coin (and that of who knows how many other people), Adalwolfe started getting back into studying, tinkering with things, and just generally tried to move on from the whole ordeal. Sort of. He still holds a heavy curiosity over the assistant fleet that helped to chase off the bandits and tried to send a message to that frequency discovered while tinkering with the wire tap device.
The very next day finds him as a human whirlwind in the library on the Iskaulit. He's not a stranger to the place of course, far from in fact since he's been trying to learn on and off the things he felt his magical education was lacking in while growing up, but today he is a veritable force of nature. Anyone who walks in can find him practically buried under stacks upon stacks of books on every subject. Mostly magical but many mundane, including a guide to SQL coding and a large yellow and black tome titled Feng Shui for Dummies. And is that...? No there couldn't be porn in Felix's library, right?
Adalwolfe himself is speeding through the books at a breakneck pace, eyes working like a typewriter as he stamps the words into his brain. Of course, his time with each book doesn't last very long before he reaches for the next one that's maybe tangentially related but certainly another thing he wants to learn. He'll get back to the previous book later. He's done this upwards of 40 times now and books are scattered to open sections on a dizzying myriad of topics. Every so often he stops long enough to type things into his communicator, the result of which can be found on the network several hours later...]
Hey fleet!
[Adalwolfe looks entirely too bouncy for his 35 someodd years of age and the way he talks is with a much more rushed pace than normal, as if he can't get all his thoughts out fast enough.]
I've been doing a lot of reading here in the library and I wrote this thing about magic that I'll upload for you here in a sec or right now might be better so you know what I'm talking about so here--
[Lo' and behold, a document appears with a download link.]
--because you know everyone who does magic here does different magic unless they're form the same world and so it's really interesting to share it all and find out how its related and how it can be classified together because what's considered magic in some places isn't magic in others like enchantment back home isn't magic because Dwarves can do it and everyone knows Dwarves can't do magic because they're resistant to it but enchantment is magic in other places and I don't know why but I still think it's very interesting.
[Oh, there's the end of the sentence. Take a breath.]
If anyone has anything they want to add I'll be glad to add it to the thing so that it has as much information as possible and maybe it can help us all learn from each other or find out how different things work for different worlds though I really don't think anyone should be doing a couple of these like necromancy or blood magic because those require dead bodies that'll stink up the fleet or just really dumb decisions like talking to demons - and I mean Thedas demons, not demons like some of you here because all the demons and spirits I've met here in the Fleet are totally fine and I don't think they want to take over anyone's bodies or anything like that so basically no blood magic or anything but if we practiced somewhere safe then elemental magic and making potions to help the fleet could be a lot easier with more than two of you doing it, right?
[Another breath.]
I also think there's something going on with those devices we found awhile ago because I messed with it again and then this morning I just couldn't stop reading and writing things down like about magic but about other things too like coding and sewing and dragons and did you know the library has a distinct lack of dragon books? Felix we need more books about dragons because dragons are awesome and I really think lacking them is depriving the whole fleet.
[At least he's aware there's something weird going on with him, even if he keeps getting distracted by his own brain.]

[He couldn't really explain it. Just a bit ago, he'd been so exasperated with Hawke, he'd tried to put the mage to sleep with some entropy magic, not that it had worked. But now he was just content with everything. No, more than that, he was down-right happy with just about everything going on right now. It was certainly a strange feeling, though hardly unpleasant.]
How unfortunate it, nothing is complete without phallic tubers.
[Anders expression holds on love and amusement for Hawke's antics.]
I think I will, I'll be there shortly, it's been a bit since I took some time to simply sit around and read. Besides, I miss your company.
Video
[Even so, he's actually making an effort to speak in smaller bursts so as not to annoy Anders. Adalwolfe was actually quite put out at being kicked out of Anders' sight that morning. He did run off all the way to the Iskaulit after all.]
But yes come and see me I miss you and maybe you can help me with this document I feel as if I'm probably missing things and you know a lot more about this sort of thing than I do though I have learned a lot with all these books.
Video
[He smiles warmly.]
I'm sure you have, you're very clever, Hawke. I'll be there in a moment.
[Uncharacteristically, Anders blew Wolfe a kiss before cutting the feed and making his way to the library Wolfe was buried in. When he got there, he paused in the doorway, expression displaying how perfectly content with everything he felt.]
Look! The Champion of Kirkwall and a bunch of books, what more could I ask for in one room? Except maybe a tart or two.
Video
[He smiles broadly, throwing out an arm invitingly for Anders to curl into where Wolfe is seated on the floor. He's a bit covered in books at the moment so forgive him if he doesn't get up to greet his love.]
Action
Nevermind either of those, I'm happy enough like this! Why don't you tell me what you've learned?
Action forever!
[There's a singsongy bint to Wolfe's tone, pleased as he is to have Anders readily curl up against him.]
There's a whole lot of things about different magic that I've never thought of like did you know that some planets have water magic and not just ice and then there are some places that say Necromancy is just a part of life magic, which is our Creation magic, and now that I think about it it sort of makes sense based on how they both deal with anatomy and the like and beyond even magic there are all these fantastic novels filled with romance and they're very hard to put down even more difficult than Swords and Shields.
[He picks one up off the floor where he'd placed it, a couple in a tight embrace and suggestive clothing emblazoned on the cover under the title A Savage Promise.]
no subject
The romance novel, however, gets a skeptical look.]
Is it any good?
[He'd read some of Swords and Shields as well as some of the short stories Varric had published that had featured a pair suspiciously similar to them, he was not impressed.]
no subject
[He plunks it in Anders' lap with a grin.]
You can read this while I'm reading other things and asking annoying questions I should already know the answers to but don't.
no subject
I don't find your questions annoying at all! Plus, they give me a reason to hear your voice which is always a good thing.
no subject
[He grins and leans on his love, pulling up another book of his own, this one on illusion magic.]
