Many moons ago I had cause to adapt Millie Hawke's (Kirkwallop) personality into an AU character who, with the base elements of the Hawke origin stretched to the squeaking point, remained in Ferelden to eventually become a Warden post-Blight. That particular thought-exercise never amounted to anything, but at the time I did have fun describing to Reyavie how I thought Millie Dravec's Joining would have gone.

Millie eyed the murky contents of the chalice thoughtfully.

"This reminds me of the time Levi and Jack bet me I wouldn't drink some of Ma's special liquid fertilizer – which was basically a puree of bull flop, horse-apples and dead night crawlers as I recall. So of course it goes without saying I took them up on it, and I tell you what: puke? "Projectile" doesn't begin to describe it. They always said I lost the bet on account of, well, losing it. But considering I was facing Levi at the time, it was pretty much a win-win as far as I was concerned. Anyway, point being, this isn't the first time someone's asked me to drink some weird shit."

Millie smiled beatifically and angled herself so she was facing the Warden Commander.

"Cheers." With a shark-like grin she toasted him and took a hefty slug.
