goodnight sweet prince.

Who: marian hawke & you!
Broadcast: fleetwide text.
Action: ss tourist.
When: post-shuffle.


[ Marian waits a few hours before she sends out the message and checks a couple of times to be absolutely sure. She'd love to say that it's fine, that they're home now, but it doesn't feel fine. Thedas is still royally screwed in so many different ways and Anders.... There is no way he would have returned absent his ghostly roommate.

Ugh, this sucks. ]

friends of adalwolfe hawke and anders
i have some sad news you give you
they are no longer on the fleet and have gone back to thedas
so yeah

sorry

[ The message ends there, though if someone tried to look for Hawke herself they'd find her aboard the Tourist in her own room for once. The door isn't locked, in fact it is partly ajar, and she sitting on her bed with Dog laying obnoxiously across her lap. ]

Action

[Of course he seeks her out. Heading into her room to move to sit beside her, one hand moving to pat Dog's head absent-mindedly. ]

I am sorry. If you need me, I am here.

[passingthrough]

I'm sorry. They're going to be missed on the Twin Roses. [She hadn't known Adalwolfe long at all, but she met Anders when he arrived. He was calling for kitty after all.]

[brainiest]

[ Hermione doesn't want to reply, not at first. It hurts, just a little too much, but... She pushes herself together and breathes out, facing it all the same. She knew Hawke, after all - this one and the other one, and Anders... Her brothers. ]

I'm sorry.

[ofkirkwall]

[ Ah, she was waiting for this. She wants to say it'll be okay, that everything will turn out fine, but she can't. It doesn't feel right to do that, not to her. ]

have you met dog
you should come meet dog
hed love to meet you

[ofkirkwall]

yeah
theyll probably miss the twin roses too
both of them are pretty sentimental

[ofkirkwall]

[ Subconsciously she shifts closer as he sits down, Dog huffing in protest to the movement, leaning her head on his shoulder. It sucks that she can't just say it's fine, that Wolfe and Anders have gone home to be happy or something. ]

I know. [ She turns her head slightly to look up at him. ] I'm alright, pretty used to losing people at this point.

[ Father, Bethany, Mother, Sebastian... Just to name a few. ]

[brainiest]

Dog? Is that the name of your dog?

[ She's not in the least bit surprised, actually. ]

If you don't mind. I'd love to.

[ofkirkwall]

yup
we dont mind dog loves meeting new people
though i should warn you he likes to lick

[brainiest]

I think I'd like to stop by, then. Your ship?

[wolfuncaged]

[One hand moves to rest on top of hers. It doesn't grab or hold her, it just rests there. Present. ]

That does not mean it still does not hurt you.

[passingthrough]

[She wonders if they'll be able to remember. She doubts it, but you never know. They could be on to the next kidnappers' prison.]

I wish I'd gotten to know them better.

[Marian gets to miss out on the initial reaction, which is Riona taking the nearest breakable object (in this case, a glass) and smashing it. She's had a rough time since coming back, and their departure just tops it all off.

Maker it hurts.]

at least they went back together. it'd been awful for the other if the one just left

not that it helps any now.

i was going to try and be good but i think with this, i'm drinking myself into a stupor tonight. feel free to join if you feel inclined

You know what always cheers me up when I'm down?

Crime.

[ Look at Izzy being helpful. ]

[ofkirkwall]

good thing you didnt
wolfe made terrible jokes

[ofkirkwall]

best choice
dog is trying to act like a pillow so moving isnt much of an option

[brainiest]

I'll be there soon, then. I'll leave my cat at home.

[passingthrough]

Winn and I pun at each other a lot. I might have just encouraged him.
