It was like watching liquid water, the way she moved. Such finesse. She would flip her body, fluidly, and slash her dagger across a throat with astounding precision. Watching her move was like art itself; he could see why poets could be inspired by women. She danced, jumping from tip of her toes to leap a gap between her foes, a dagger digging deeply into the gut of one, before she slid it free easily, dancing away. A dainty wrist would bend, flicking a blade across the expanse to bury itself within a man's eye. Even covered in blood, she was a vision, slipping through the shadows like darkness itself.

Maker, only she could be a master at battle and yet be such a klutz in the day to day. Only Hawke.
