[It's a heavy relief when Anders relents. The tension between them has been heavy not just now but about other things as well and it's getting to be more than Wolfe thinks he can take. But with this some of it breaks and he feels much better for it. Anders' hand covers his and he covers it with his other hand in turn, leaning in to press his forehead against his boyfriend's.]

I love you, Anders. Don't think I wouldn't defend you with everything I had, if it came to that again.

[Ashes falling around them, everyone looking at Anders in horror as the Chantry burns. Even him, at first. But the condemnation thrown at Anders just made Wolfe want to fight harder, to stand between them and the healer as a wall. What Anders had done was indeed horrific, but that didn't mean that Wolfe was going to leave his side.

Never.

Not for that, and not for this either, not if it came down to the worst.

He's going to try his damnedest to make sure it doesn't come to that, but he does think that Anders needs to hear once more where his loyalties lie. As if it were ever in doubt.]

[Whatever stubborn wall Anders had erected between them, even with the small touch he'd offered, crumbled like dry clay, unable to stand up to those words, that tone. Hawke was his weakness. A gentle touch, a soft word and Anders was completely at his love's whim.

Especially when he knew his anger was pointless and now only burning the two of them. He didn't want that, Wolfe deserved better. Wolfe had always deserved better than Anders.]

I love you too. I don't deserve you, but I thank the Maker you have the patience for me.

[wolfehawke]

Hush, you deserve the world.

[He leans in and kisses Anders gently, silencing any further protest. They would get through this, he has no doubt, and ideally without destroying the ship in the process. He earnestly believes Anders is capable of that now without Justice inside him. He can be far more reasonable.]
