When he arrived at the spot they were meeting he saw that everyone was there to see them off. Hawke was talking with Aveline and Merrill, assuming she was saying how she wishd she could take them with her, but he knew that Batrand didn't want her taking more than three others with her for fear she might betray him. She hugged them and they took their leave, leaving her with her mother and sister. Her mother had that worried look on her face that Fenris had only ever seen her wear, she wasn't completely worried though as she had Bethany next to her. He hadn't cared to ask who else was coming with them, but now he saw that Bethany wasn't one of them. There was a certain pride that he was one of the few she chose to go with her, she always took him with her even on the missions he wouldn't wish to go on, like saving mages. He had this weird line between admiration, lust and hatred for her as she saved these mages and hadthe audacity to take him. She knew how much he hated the mages, but he assumed she was trying to show him they weren't all bad, but most of the rescue missions had ended horribly with blood magic turning them into abominations… speaking of abominations…
Anders was standing close to Hawke. He hated the way he was possessive of her when she wasn't his. What delusions filled his head to think that she wanted him, or had she led him on? Did she visit him late at night and share drinks and stories of her past with him as well? He doubted it, but the way she smiled at something he said made him question how he had first pegged their relationship. He saw her look at him from the corner of her eye before going back to converse with them, hugging her mother and sister a final time before turning to look at Fenris, her hands on her hips.
"Always the last one to the party I see."
Varric and Anders turned to look at him as she addressed him. "Broody was probably fixing his hair. It must take a lot of effort to get those white locks to lay just perfectly."
Anders scoffed. "He probably thinks he's too good to grace us with his presence."
"I debated not coming when I heard you were coming, abomination, but Hawke convinced me that you wouldn't be a nuisance."
Hawke stepped between them before it go too heated, a weak smile on her lips. "Oh come on guys, how about you wait and put that pent up male aggression on the Darkspawn."
He backed down reluctantly like Anders, letting Hawke slip away to make final plans with Batrand and then they set out onto the expedition. She couldn't have foresaw what this was going to do to her future, none of them did.
