Varric raised an eyebrow when he saw fenris open the door and Hawke walk into the tavern. He smirked when he noted Hawke's color had improved in the time she had been gone.
Isabella stood bleary-eyed next to Varric and also raised an eyebrow at the scene, then gave a questioning look to Varric.
The Dwarf only smirked. "I didn't expect you to start on those brooding babies so quickly, Elf, and especially not with Hawke of all peopl. This is rather unexpected turn," he prodded, the gleam in his eyes returning as you could see the wheels in his mind starting to turn.
Fenris glowered at Varric even as the tips of his ears showed his embarrassment. "I... She did not... her mother..." he kept starting and stopping his explanation or denial. He stopped fumbling his words when hawke laughed suddenly. His eyes shot to her and he relaxed. If she wasn't going to take offense he would not either.
Hawke shook her head as she lightly placed her hand on Fenris's arm to get his attention. "When are you going to learn that the more you react and deny, the more fuel you are giving them," she explained softly. She then winked at him which only caused his blush to deepen.
"Can I be there to console Anders when you tell him. The fireworks will be delightful," Isabella chimed in which earned a growl from Fenris.
"Yes, tell him to be jealous of the wooden bench in Fenris's main room, where I napped as Fenris got ready in another part of the house. I am sure we can have it sent to the clinic so Anders can give it a stern talking to," Hawke supplied as she saw the anger rising in Fenris's eyes.
Almost immediately the angry fire in Fenris's eyes faded as Isabella sighed in disappointment.
"Well, that's no fun, I thought for sure something may have happened," Isabella complained. "Now my morning has been wasted."
Varric chuckled. "I wouldn't say that, Rivaini. We got to see the rarest sight in all of Thedas, a Flustered Fenris at the thought of him bedding our Hawke," he pointed out. "And the fact he didn't growl and pull away when she touched him.
Isabella scowled and shook her head, missing the the smallest of movement in Hawke's fingers as they lightly brushed Fenris's arm.
"I do believe we have a task to do if you are discussing what is none of your business," Fenris reminded them before any more could be said.
There was some grumbling but they did set to their task with zeal. Sorting their findings and what they could use, what could be sold, and what was junk.
It was well into the afternoon before all was said and done. Varric left with part of the treasure to sell and Isabella took the rest since they were the two with the best contacts for such things.
That left Hawek and Fenris alone. They spent the rest of the day playing cards. When it came time to go home Fenris saw Hawke home since it looked like a storm was coming. He waited outside for several minutes in case she needed an out but soon began the walk home before the storm blew in. Storms had a habit of getting bad fast when the winds blew just right off the ocean.
