Hawke
Slowly feeling sensation turn to him, Hawke gingerly explored his feelings; he felt no pain, he guessed his injuries had been healed.
'We...we must have...if I had been captured I wouldn't have been healed.' He noted and relief flooded him. 'We must have won, the battle is over.'
Finally opened his eyes, he couldn't help but smile, for there, sitting by his side, smiling widely when she saw he was awake, was Merrill.
"Hawke!" She cried out, embracing him.
He laughed and returned the hug. "Merrill...I..."
She straightened up, grinning. "It's over Hawke, we won, we won, just as we planned, the trap worked...They're all destroyed."
Hawke managed to sit up. "Excellent, so we did it. Then, the other battles?"
"We were able to restore communications, they all won the battle. But um..." She hesitated.
Immediately Hawke felt worried, something had happened. But before he could ask Merrill what was troubling her, the door opened. He turned to face the newcomer and smiled widely as he saw it was Varric.
"Ah Hawke, good, you're awake...and you've recovered well I see." The dwarf greeted Hawke with a wide grin.
Hawke also grinned as he stood up, Merrill also standing.
"It's good to see you too Varric." He remarked. "So, we've won, I take it we…?"
Varric nodded "Clean up has already been dealt with, people are getting ready for the celebrations, although they might be premature."
Again, Hawke noticed that Varric, like Merrill, seemed to be insinuating that things weren't fully resolved, which worried him.
He knew he needed to get to the bottom of this quickly, in this sort of situation, not being in the know was dangerous.
"What is going on?"
"I have to go Hawke." Varric explained. "There's still a battle to be fought."
Hawke froze at that and then, directed by Merrill and Varric, looked out the window and saw the glow of magic in the distance."
"Corypheus." Varric explained calmly.
Merrill then added. "He was able to escape the Battle at the Wall."
Hawke shook his head. "Varric, you are going to face this, you shouldn't go alone, I...I should..."
Varric sighed. "No Hawke, you're still not fully recovered from battle, besides...you've done your part. I need to see this through. You know me Hawke, I can't stand by while the last chapter of the story happens elsewhere."
Hawke couldn't help it he laughed, as did Merrill, such a statement was just like Varric. Despite their worries, in the end, it was clear nothing would change Varric's mind and that he would only go alone. So instead they gathered to see him off, hoping that this wouldn't be the last time they saw their Dwarven companion.
Finally, Hawke and Merrill smiled as they stood together, holding each other. They stood watching the sunset, enjoying each other's company. Hawke couldn't deny, after everything that happened, the close calls, nearly losing each other, he didn't want to delay it a minute longer.
"Merrill." He said suddenly; she turned to him, startled. "I...everything we've been doing together, the time we've spent together; everything we've shared."
Merrill blushed lightly. "Hawke, that's...yes, I know..."
"I think, we should, make things official between us..." He said hesitating a little.
But Merrill immediately knew what he meant and gasped. "Hawke, are you saying we should...get married?"
Hawke nodded, grinning. "So, um...what do you think?"
She laughed and turned to face him fully. "I will...Oh Hawke, I, of course I will."
Grinning they kissed enthusiastically, overjoyed as they prepared to finally take their love to the next level and finally do things properly.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
