[Hi, this is Kloe. She sounds awful.]

You fuckers want to know who the real dangerous one is?

That glowy blue freak friend of yours.

He just fucking attacked me!

[And Kloe is... seated somewhere within the Keep a few yards away from Anders, tending to her bleeding nose.]

((OOC: Right after this.))

[God dammit Anders. After hearing this Hawke is out and looking for his buddy before someone gets the bright idea to try something they'll regret.]

[After his charming conversation with Kloe just a few minutes ago, Alex was on his way to the Green; and he was pissed. It's taking everything in his control to not 'hulk out' and go storming into the scene with fangs and claws slashing, even if that was very much what he wanted to do just now.

He's nearing the scene when his blue-green gaze falls and focuses on Anders' downed form.]

Anders!!

[He's going to sprint those last few hundred yards.]

[Commentlog]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke's already by his friend's side by the time Alex pops up. Someone tied him up. Well at least they left him prepackaged then.

Despite the mage being unconscious, Hawke doesn't appear to be worried. He's a little worse for wear but it's nothing he can't handle. At least he didn't take another spear in the gut.

When Hawke hears Alex he looks up at the approaching man.]

Relax, it's not as bad as it looks. He's still breathing.

[Commentlog]

[allthesame2me]

[Alex sights upon Hawke, not flying into 'rip limbs from you' mode only because he knwos who the man is and that he means Anders no harm whatsoever.

He skids to a halt, his gaze moving over Anders and looking for any blood. The metallic scent is in the air, but his mage looks free of it.

Then his gaze settles on the rops binding him and he's a brief moment of rage/frustration/facepalming. His hand passes over his face and he's hovering, but giving Hawke more than enough room to do whatever it is he;s going to do.]

They trussed him like a stuck pig and left him laying here...

[He knew it was more than one person, as several scents lingered in the surrounding area. His voice is soft, considering how mad he is, but there is a perceptable growl to it. Hawke's seen him in fuzzy form, as well as human. Can you see the anger ticking right under the surface, Hawke?]

[Commentlog]

[iwannabeadragon]

[He sees it, but he's used to it by now. Several of his friends have anger problems, not just glowy and grumpy here.]

Just so you know, this is the opposite of relaxing.

[For know Hawke leaves Alex to have his fit. Hopefully he won't have knock Alex out. Right now he's just going to untie those ropes they put on Anders. Once they're gone, Hawke loops on of Anders' arms over his shoulders and lifts.]

This is the second time in two days I've had to drag his ass around.

[Commentlog]

[sayhitobianca]

[He'd been pretty far from the Green when he'd read Kloe's post, and it takes him a little bit longer to get there than it does for Hawke and Alex.

But there he is, just in time to see Hawke cutting Anders loose.]

You take your eyes off him for two seconds.

[As if things needed to escalate. He's also watching Alex out of the corner of his eye, and then makes a subtle shift from talking to just Hawke to speaking to both of them.]

Need help, or have you got him?

[Commentlog]

[allthesame2me]

[Alex knows he's not making anything easier by snarling like a mother over her cubs, so he takes a breath and palms his hands over his face. Exhaling slowly he drops them again and then looks sidelong at Hawke, stepping forward to help lift his boyfriend off the ground.]

The second time? Did you collect him after that whole party fiasco?

[He's sure the question isn't even really needed. If anything Hawke seems to watch out for his friends in a manner unlike anything Alex had seen outside of pack; it was a bit of a relief, really. Then he pauses as the sound of approaching steps draws his attention and he glances toward Varric as he approaches. If he'd been fuzzy, his hackles would have been sufficiently raised until her realized who I was that was coming.

Another one of Anders' friends. He shakes his head, huffing out wryly as he makes room to let Varric help if he wants to. The lycan had nothing against the dwarf and it would likely be best to have three here, on the chance Kloe or her entourage came back.]I think it's a matter of

[Commentlog]

[iwannabeadragon]

Yeah he decided to catch a spear with his his gut. This one is just full of good decisions.

[Sometimes Hawke thinks he should start smacking him in the head every time he says something.

When he sees Varric approaching Hawke nods his head. He also notices Alex almost bristle when he sees Varric. Someone is a tad on edge it seems. Hawke would have thought he'd be used to this kind of thing by now seeing who he's sleeping with. Although Hawke can entirely agree with wanting to pop Justice in his ethereal mouth. Sometimes Hawke thinks he should do that even if they can't separate the two.]

I still say we need to put a cow bell on him.

[Hawke shrugs at Varric.]

Well you can grab his legs if you want.

[Commentlog]

[sayhitobianca]

[Yeah, it's that entourage that Varric's worried about, and who might be part of it. He's reasonably sure he could talk down Zhaneel or Aara, but neither of them are really capable of trussing Anders up like that. He's considering asking Alex if he can - smell who was there, or something, but that'll wait until after they've gotten Anders out of there.]

Think you might have a whole line of people there with you wanting to share in that opportunity.

[Him included. And he gives a light snort at that cow bell comment.]

Cow bell'd be easier than guard duty.

[He nods at Hawke, and crouches down to lift up Anders's legs.]

Almost reminds you of home.

[allthesame2me]

[Alex might feel sorry for his reactions later, but right now he was more concerned about the stubborn Mage that Hawke was hefting up off the ground. He could tell several of those that had been here, but not all of the scents were familiar to him. It's definitely a question worth noting, though, Varric. He snorts softly when both men agree about Justice, finally relaxing enough to laugh dryly.]

A cow might be easier to keep track of, bell or no.

[He sighs and makes certain he is not in the way of either man as they hoist up the unconscious Anders. He could carry him, really, but who steps in and tells someone's friends to step off so he could tote his boyfriend to safety.

Even if he kinda wanted to do just that. :D]

I'm sure he'll be quite happy to sleep for days...

[Then a wry grin at Varric.]

You get into situations like this often, then?
