When we got to the barracks, and meet up with my sister, lets just say she was not happy to see me if her glare has anything to do with it. I just crossed my arms and leaned on the wall as Hawke talked with Eveline discussing about the family if the way Aveline was looking at her from time to time.
Aveline went closer to me and leaned again the same wall as I am. Ignoring me she looked at Hawke.
''Information is one of few perks of this job. Watch out for Bertrand-he's one son of bitch. ''
I looked at her. ''Were you spying on her again sister?'' Hawke narrowed her eyes. '' You know I don't like it when you have people watch me.''
Aveline shrugged her shoulders and looked away. ''Saved me camping on your doorstep. After what we went through to get here...'' Aveline shook her head before looking back at her. ''Well...you're no child, but I take care of my friends.'' Aveline smiled at Hawke, I on other hand snorted. She glared at me.
''And you! What the hell were you thinking on going out alone on that job? You could have been killed.''
I rolled my eyes, here we go again. Every time this happens. I glared at her. ''I am not a child sister. I can take care of myself! Red Iron always have my back. You know that!'' I argued with her. Aveline narrowed her eyes in anger.
''You should leave that mercenary group and come work in city guards! You were in an army with me! The Red Iron is bad influence on you!''
''Yes I was. I protected the country. We fought against the darkspawn and we lost! Badly. I fallowed the rules. I protected the King! I had enough! I joined the Red Iron not just because we needed to get into the city but to start fresh! I like it this way! ''
Hawke looked between us and Bethany tried to stop us from fighting with each others, it didn't help. That's why I didn't want to be here, because it always lead to here and soon she is going to say something that she might regret.
''They are sell swords! They are nothing but scum and they should all be under guard! They would spared theirs legs if they were paid enough-'' Bethany gasped, and Aveline eyes widen in horror as to what she said. She looked at me and saw my face blank and something in my features scared her. She tried to apologies. '' Eve I didn't...''
She tried to touch me and I turned away. ''Yes you did. Hawke I will meet you outside.'' I turned and walked out of viscount keep. How could she? How dare she? I was so angry that I punched the wall.
Hawke and the others come back from viscount keep my sister was with them.
I turned to Hawke. ''What did you find out?'' Hawke looked at Aveline before replying. ''We are going to help out the guards with their problem.'' I narrowed my eyes and looked at my sister. She was snooping around again.
''Why not tell guards about this problem then?''
''I will, I'll send my alerts and someone will take it, but since Hawke need some job, she can help me out. I do not like this. So I am offering.''
I nodded my head. ''Lead the way.''
The Sundermouthain looked beautiful to me. I always loved sand and fresh air. Here it was cleaner somehow, but it was a dangerous place.
''I believe there is going to be an ambush up ahead.'' I turned towards Hawke who smirked. ''Ambush how nice!'' I groaned she always joked around, was she even taking anything serious? I could see footprints on the sand, someone was trying to hide them.
Few Smugglers showed up on the hill. Hawke used one fireball and sanded them in their way. I pulled out my bow and started shooting, getting head shots all the time. ''Hawke you worked for smugglers, so why not talk with them and sort it all out?'' I yelled at her. She laughed.
After few more minutes the riders were dead around us, I took time to loot the bodies, ignoring my sister stare. I did not want to talk with her at the moment.
We continue on our way, coming closer to the ambush site.
''There ambush up ahead. Be prepared Hawke.''
The ambush happened as soon as we come close to it, I went on the hill and shoot my arrows from above them, giving them cover and support. While others went for a close range. Few arrows were send my way, one even nicked my arm, but I ignored it. Aveline was attacking them with furry. While Hawke and Bethany keep the distance, Varic was taking care of traps. One of raider stepped on one of the traps and it exploded all around them, killing the others.
That was the stupid thing to do. Getting killed by their own explosive. That one way to go.
''Back to the Keep for you're just reward.'' I walked up to them as my sister finished talking.
''Hawke you go on ahead. I'm going to check on my brother in arms if they need help.'' Aveline winced at my words. Serve her right. Hawke nodded her head.
''See you at Hangman?''
''Yeah. Drink on me.''
Hawke eyes sparkled. A mysterious smile on her face. Uh OH. ''You bet...''
