Chapter two
Issues
"Who are you planning on taking into the deep roads with you?" Carver asked as the four siblings sat around a table at the hanged man. Hawke shook his head more annoyed then he had been in a week, and he had been dealing with these questions all week. All they needed was one more good paying job and were set. Neria shook her head in sympathy and taking a drink from her ale earing a glare from Bethany.
"Ale already Neria. You can't wait another year?" Bethany making Neria sigh more than annoyed. Varric, Isabella, Fenris, Anders, and Merill all sat at a table over listening to the argument that was bound to happen, and as much as much as they hated to admit it, they were all just as curious as Hawkes sibling were to who he was planning to take.
"Off topic Bethany." Neria stated looking at her brother annoyed.
"Right so who are you taking you only can take two other people, right?" Craver pushed on.
"That means he can take both of us." Bethany stated smiling.
"What about the others Anders would be a good pick to go, he knows the deep roads." Craver stated making Bethany's smile fade.
"But we NEED to leave the city for a while." She pushed.
"That or join the Circle." Neria added receiving a glare from her. Hawke just watched well aware that the others were listening, and mildly thankful they weren't pestering him as well.
"Shouldn't Varric have a say anyway he's going as well." Neria added after taking a swig of ale. Hawke smiled a bit at her idea nodding in agreement.
"Well if we go we can take Leo." Bethany stated, Neria shook her head.
"No." Which caught every ones attention.
"Why not. He's not just yours." Bethany questioned earing a glare from the younger sibling. Neria shook her head downed her ale and stood.
"I have other things to do other than listen to this, Leo lets go." Neria called as she turned walking out of the Hanged man Leo right behind her. Hawke sighed shaking his head, and watched while Anders got up and followed her out and a few minutes later Fenris scowled and followed.
"What was all that about?" Caver questioned looking a Hawke who shook his head. Both normally traveled with her along with Merill when she was helping him, and as much as he was annoyed by it both men seemed found of his sister, he's almost 18 year old sister.
"we all know Leo won't go unless Neria does, he chooses her after his ash warrior died. Though it might have had something to do with the fact she tried to save them both." Hawke reminded them.
"Well Neria cant go mother would go mad, what if something happens to her?" Bethany reasoned.
"in that case none of you should go." Hawke pointed out earing a sigh from Bethany, and a glare from craver.
"Selfish bastard. You never planned on taking us." Craver accused.
"Gentlemen, Bethany. May I suggest an idea?" Isabella asked walking over to the table followed by Varric and Merill.
"Why not." Hawke grumbled.
"How about a contest in.." She was cut off by Carver.
"No." she crossed her arms sighing.
"Never any fun." She moaned out before looking at Hawke, who grinned back at her.
"Let's go stir up some trouble. What do you say? You two?" Varric asked getting a nod from Hawke who stood up grabbing his battle axe that was leaning on the side of the table.
"We can finish this later." Hawke stated while the three of them walked out.
"I should go look for Neria, and apologize." Bethany stated standing. Craver nodded and watched his sister walk away, he wasn't the youngest anymore but he still felt like he was being over looked. Standing he looked a Merill.
"Ill walk you home." He offered knowing she could get lost even though she only lived a little ways away.
"Thank you." She stuttered out and headed for the door.
