A/N this is my thought about how it went after you help or at least how I think Hawke acted after Anders completely went mental. Sorry it took long I wanted to put in some dialogue from the game. And sorry it's short to. Anyway hope you guys like it. I personally think it could be better. R&R
Open arms chapter 2
" I'm glad to have helped." Alanni bowed her head slightly toward the knight commander. Although she may not be fond of the woman, she had to admit Meredith got things done.
The knight commander inclined her head in a similar motion and returned to her work.
Alanni turned to leave, Sebastian and Fenris in tow, when Anders voice stopped her in place.
"Wait. That's it? Pay us and send us on our way? Not a single thought given to the fact that you templars brought all this upon your selves?" He was furious. She could hear the anger shaking in his voice.
"So Huon and Evelina were entirely innocent then?" she turned to Sebastian and gave him a ' your not helping look'
Turning back to Anders and Meredith she watched as the knight commander squinted her eyes in an accusing stare towards Anders.
"Be very careful mage. Your friendship with the champion protects you only so much." Her voice was as cold as ice.
Anders stared at the knight commander pure hatred on his face. Alanni took this opportunity and swiftly approached Anders.
"Anders, love, not now." Her voice was calm and sweet but his reaction wasn't.
His arm jerked out of her grasp and turned to her using the same scowl he had shared with Meredith mere moments ago.
Tears welled up in her eyes. All the fears she had the other day in the chantry suddenly became so much more then just that. They became a reality. It was true she was losing him.
"Fine. Fight for your mages, but don't think I'll have any part in It." she had begun to back up slowly watching and waiting. Hoping to see any sign of the man she once loved in his eyes.
"Alanni," his hand reached out pleading with her but it was his eyes that held her attention. Ignoring his hand she urn around saying in barely more then a whisper "See you at home." And then she disappeared down the hall leaving all her companions behind.
*Sebastian*
Sebastian watched as Alanni quickly left the room. Anders had been completely out of place addressing the knight commander the way he did especially in front of Hawke.
His eyes switched over to gaze at the abomination that stood before them. Anders didn't move nor did he speak. He just stared.
Sebastian anger began to rise again. "Are you not going to go after her?"
He stared at him waiting for the mage to answer.
Anders pushed past Sebastian and Fenris stopping just outside the door. Sebastian followed eagerly, curious as to what the mage's excuse was to not follow his love out the hall.
"You want to go and let the Templars be absolved of all responsibility, then? You can't be that big an idiot." Anders tone changed. He turned to face the now closed knight commander's door and Sebastian could just see the passion emanating from his eyes.
Sebastian couldn't help but laugh. "The woman you claim to love is out there somewhere mad at you because of your plight and you wont even go an look for here?" Sebastian shook his head.
"Meredith can't go-"
Meredith can wait! Right now the woman who has done nothing but care for you and help you is out there vulnerable and you don't even have the decency to pretend to care! Maker help me Anders if she's hurt..." Sebastian didn't even finish his thought.
"Hawke can take care of her self." Anders replied.
Sebastian said nothing. He turned to look at Fenris and nodded to the door. Fenris nodded back and they both headed out the hall.
"Where are you going?" Anders called to their backs.
"The Maker would not have me sit by and watch when one of my close friends needs me."
