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.

Nonsense. My ego needs boosting every once in a while just like anyone else's.

[Lies, Hawke, no it doesn't!]

I'll keep that in mind, then.

[not that he really buys it.]

That's very good of you. I appreciate it.

[Shameless flirting is now a go; even as he does so he wonders if he should resist but resisting Anders has never been something Hawke was very good at.]

[why did no one tell Anders that they're meant to be doing nothing but flirt?]

The two of you seem to take everything very lightly.

[Clearly the Hawke Anders remembers is stupid and a fake. 8|]

It's either that or be depressed all the time. And as Fenris does enough brooding for the lot of us, it'd be wasteful to join him.

But doesn't it make you angry? Being here, I mean.

[he's not sure if he should be bringing it up, but had it been the Hawke he knows, he would have. And it's clear he needs to get it off his chest.]

It does, if I let myself think about it too much. But what good does that do anyone?

I can't just let go of it. [looks away.] There was so much I needed to do in Kirkwall.

[he had his clinic, for one. And there were still templars living and breathing for another.]

[paaaaaause]

I don't suppose it would do you much good to tell you that you did accomplish most of what you wanted?

[Chantry in pieces, the Circle eradicated, the Templars crippled and leaderless...]

[that makes him stop.]

What happened in those three years?

To summarize, the Knight-Commander finally learned that playing with fire will get you burned.

[he likes the thought of that. Very much so.]

What happened with the templars?

...A great number of them also learned Meredith's lesson.

[He pauses thoughtfully, wondering how much he should reveal, or if he should just reveal it all; does it really matter, here, so far removed from Kirkwall and everything else they've ever known?]

I honestly didn't stick around for long enough to find out what the survivors did.
