Who: Anders ~~and the empty room~~, anyone else
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Tourist, if desired
When: Day after the shuffle

[It had hardly taken long to piece it together. He woke up alone, without the warmth of another person nearby. Opening his eyes revealed that the room was back to the size it had been before they'd merged their quarters and the bed really only had enough room for him and the three sleeping snow kittens.

It didn't matter that all of Wolfe's things were still littered around the room, what mattered was the absence of the man himself. He rarely left in the morning without telling Anders something.

He didn't even bother checking to see if he could send a message to Hawke once Anders spotted the ring he had offered Hawke nearly two weeks ago.

It took him a moment to gather himself, but, quietly, he did and checked the communicator just to make sure. How silly of him to even feel surprised or expect anything different.]

To those that knew him, Adalwolfe Hawke is no longer on the fleet.

It appears the same is true of Marian Hawke.

If anyone has any business left unsettled with either of them, please feel free to let me know and I will do my best to help.

[It hadn't taken long to find both missing when he tried to send a message to 'Hawke' and found no Hawkes listed in the fleet. He'd quickly followed up with checking some of the others as well, but it seemed most of everyone was still around. Mostly. Everyone from Kirkwall was gone except him.

He hesitated before adding:]

Fenris is gone as well.

We've lost a tremendous amount of people...

[Jarvis certainly's in a funk of his own, though it cannot stop him from making the usual meals for the ship; he won't let it completely wreck the schedule, because those who have left would be absolutely against him lazing on the job just because they've departed. Still, it's... going to be terrible, for a time.

Their ship has been so consistent, it's strange to see such a change.]

Are you hungry? Do make sure you're taking care of yourself.

[He was used to Hawke chasing him to make sure he ate or slept or took care of himself, but someone else doing it made him pause. He wasn't really sure what to do with it.

But maybe Jarvis was like him, maybe working was easier than thinking too much. It wouldn't surprise him.]

I haven't eaten today, no.

Your concern is appreciated.

In that case, I implore you to stop by The Melting Pot, so I can whip something up for you. Free of charge, today. Or perhaps if you'd like, we can put in on someone who has left's bill.

[Wouldn't they just love that.]

Please, Jarvis, I'll pay you. The people of Thedas rarely seem to have issues with credits here thanks to the natrually dramatic state of our lives. [Sarcasm doesn't work well in text.] And considering how things have been going the last few months, I can spare supporting a friend's business.

I'll be over in half an hour.

I suppose I can't argue that. I'll see you then.

[But he'll be sure to make some sweets he's covertly tested on the guy before.]
