"You ever have that moment where you just feel…stuck?"

"Stuck?"

"Yeah, stuck."

"Stuck on what, exactly?"

"Oh, I don't know. Just stuck on…things."

"I was once glued to your floor once, if that's what you mean by stuck. I don't think it is, though."

"You were glued to my floor? Where was I when this happened?"

"What are you thinking about, Hawke?"

"I'm not thinking about anything really. Or nothing worth mentioning, I should say."

"You're thinking about something."

"Whatever happened to me being an airtight airhead?"

"When have I ever said that?"

"You've never had to say it. I just got that vibe from you, you know? I'm very aura-sensitive."

"You have a real knack for changing the subject."

"And you have a real knack actually falling for it."

"Hawke."

"It's just that…ever since I first entered Kirkwall; I've always had a set goal in mind. Get into the city. Join some smugglers. Find some money. Defeat the Qunari. Kill the Arishok. Blah, blah, blah. It's been like that for the last seven years. When I defeated Meredith, though, it's like…"

"You're not quite sure what to do with yourself."

"Right…I've never really thought about it, maybe because I've been keeping us all busy with missions and whatnot. Lately though…I guess it's just been on my mind, what with all the blood mages, and traumatizing events, and the whole irreversible bond thing."

"What does this have to do with you being stuck? I assume you'd just move on and live your life. It's what you've been doing, hasn't it?"

"Live my life is a very broad statement, Fenris. Even when I was a child, I was always on the move in order to keep out of reach from Templers and magi alike. I've never been without a destination in mind…I like having a map of where to go…"

"Sounds to me like you just don't know how to relax."

"What? I know very well how to relax! I'm relaxing right now, aren't I?"

"Mmm. Not the same thing."

"Would you rather I leave then? I'm sure Isabela would much more pleasant company!"

"I'm sure she'll also be very intrigued at your offer to be as pleasant as me, now wouldn't she?"

"Joke's on you, she's been trying to seduce me for years now!"

"Hawke, you need to understand; life isn't just a game where at every second you have some quest to complete. For once, you've been taking life one day at a time, and for once you actually have a chance to ask yourself what's best for you. Kirkwall doesn't need a champion anymore, Hawke, and you know longer have to bend to anyone's will."

"I see you've been reading Isabela's romance collections. Well done."

"I do my best."

"Maybe we should all move to Orlais, then? I hear they have the most wonderful sense of fashion down there."

"Only if you beg me."

"Hmmm, I rather like the sound of that."

"Then I suggest we move on."

RANDOM DIALOGUE EMULATOR NO JUTSU!

I always wondered what Hawke did with her life once all that mess in Kirkwall was over and done with. I really hope they bring her back in the next game. Dragon Age 3, what a glorious sight!

Also, you can imagine those two in any place setting, I didn't have any particular setting in mind, whether it be playing chess, or sleeping in bed together. Probably the later. I just needed to focus on my dialogue practice. It's been getting rather awkward of late.

See you all tomorrow~
