I stirred as I felt a presence enter the room, I heard soft footstep's walk to my bed, my bed sunk in as she sat down. "Yes Merrill?" I rolled on to my side to face her. She blushed and then said "Oh! Hawke I thought you where sleeping. I had a nightmare and I wanted to be with you because being you with you always comforts me." I smiled at her "So you came all the way from the Alienage just to be with me?" She looked down I knew she was embarrassed "Yes. But Varric came with me to high town." She spoke softy now I continued to smile, then I sat up, got out of bed she followed and I reached to out caress her face she leaned her head on my hand and gave me a shy grin and laugh, we leaned in to each other as her lips met mine something happened. Like a flame was lit but not as in hatred as in love I felt something stronger for her now. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist. She pulled away from the kiss and looked strait into my eyes, she had a want, a need in her eyes and when I returned the same look we knew what was going to happen tonight. She reached for my trousers and pulled them down while she was doing that I took off my shirt, when she rose I helped her get her top off she then stepped out of her pants. Here we where standing in our under garments studding each other then, I took of my last piece of clothing and walked over to Merrill I undid the rest of her clothing and slide them off. We kissed for a short time then she lead me by my hand to the bed I she whispered something in elvish I could not understand then I kissed her again I was about to place my self on top of her then my dog got uneasy I heard footsteps outside the door so I quickly I threw on my bottoms and tossed Merrill one of my shirts to cover herself with I reached for my staff and crept next to the door silently as a rogue the door flew open whacking me in the face "ENCHANTMENT!" Sandal said, Merrill ran to my side I was holding my nose. "Sandal! There's something called knocking!" I glared at him Merrill took my hand off of my face and said. "Wow he did get you pretty good, but don't blame him you know how he's special.' Merrill laughed "Oop's sorry I wanted to see puppy" he reached down and stroked my dog " uh-oh I need to pee." I groaned and said "Then go!" he stood there just staring and said "Okay all done" he walked back down stairs leaving me crouching on the floor with a broken nose and a chipped tooth Merrill still crouching next to me made a minor slit in her wrist mumbled a few words and then did what little healing she could "Wow Hawke I didn't know you can be that grumpy you're worst then a broke dwarf who just a ate his last nug!" she laughed and I said "Well at least Varrics not bad!" I joked and we walked back the bed and fell asleep. I awoke with my arm around Merrill in my mansion I could smell her hair it was like being in a forest in the middle of summer. I decided it was too early to get up so I drifted off into the fade again but before I did I thought to myself we really didn't know what was going to happen that night.
