I prefer a talking horse over creatures that look like abominations.

[read: vogons, and some of the tentacled ladies you see around. It's still difficult not to attack them on sight, although none of them are attacking people, at least.

He nods at the suggestion.]

I miss the sky. I tried looking out one of the large windows, but I couldn't find a single constellation I recognised. And it's always night time outside, did you notice?

Yes, exactly.

[He tilts his head toward Anders, not lifting it from where it rests on the back of the couch, aiming a rueful smile in the other man's direction.]

I have, yes. It's more unsettling than it is pretty, if you look at it for too long.

[stop being so irresistibly handsome, Hawke.]

I felt as if I might fall in.

[unsettling is a bit of an understatement, in his opinion.]

If you'd like to visit the planet, I can probably explain how to get there.

[No!]

...What, aren't you going to come with me?

[He will rebuild their relationship from scratch if he has to drag Anders along kicking and screaming, so help him...!]

[...well, maybe not if Anders is that against it. But Hawke is sure going to try!]

[he pauses, a little awkwardly, studying Hawke's face for a moment.]

I suppose I'm still not used to the idea that you'd want me along.

[even if Hawke did come to visit him this time. And as far as he can tell, he just wants to talk!]

[He holds Anders' gaze quietly, waiting for his verdict, and smiles a little when he finally speaks.]

Get used to it, then.

Out of everything here, that, at least, I don't mind.

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

[And relieved. Very relieved.]

When shall we go?

How about tomorrow?

[he sees no reason to wait, at least. Actually, he wouldn't mind going right now, but--]

Should we let everyone else know as well?

Tomorrow sounds great.

[And then Anders says that...although he supposes it could be taken a couple of different ways. Nathaniel, and possibly Marian, he might want along, but Hawke somehow doubts he means for Fenris to join them. Perhaps he means 'let the others know' as a precautionary measure - "Hey, this is where we'll be, if you don't hear from us again, you'll know what happened," sort of thing.]

That's probably a good idea.

[it wasn't exactly meant as a question; he assumed Hawke wants them along as well. And Hawke is right in that he'd like to have Nathaniel along.]

I'll talk to Nathaniel.

[Hawke can do what he wants with the others.]

I'll mention it to Marian.

[All in all, he supposes it's probably a bit too early to hope for outings involving just the two of them. He'll just have to be sure to visit Anders a lot on other occasions, then.]

You're getting along with yourself, then?

[THIS IS SO BIZARRE.]

Swimmingly. It's a bit uncanny if I spend too long thinking about it, though.

[Hawke always did have a gift for understatement...]

A bit uncanny?

...Alright, more like a lot.

To be honest I've been trying not to think about it too much.

I won't ask, then.

Have you talked to her at all?

[Because yeah, even though thinking about it is pretty brain breaking, he's still curious. >.>]

Only once, but yes.

And what did you think? Was she as charming as I am?

[he pauses to consider how to phrase that for a moment.]

You both have something that draws people in.

...I'll take that as a compliment.

It was intended as one.

[That earns a smile from Hawke; he can't help it - that sounded just like his Anders.]

You should do that more often. It's really quite nice.

[Pushing it too far? Hawke? Maaaaaaybe.]

[it's so easy to relax around this Hawke - it surprises him every time he thinks about it.]

One thing I do know is that you've never needed help building up your ego.
