You know, the next time the Republic sees fit to send me on a mission, the least they can do is allow me to leave a note that I will not be around. The urgency did not match. [There is an extremely agitated ginger on the screen, Outworlders.

And then Aveline sighs, and the scowl washes away.]

I hope you weren't too worried, Hawke.

Aveline?

Andraste take it, I thought you'd gone home!

[deeployalty]

No such luck, I'm afraid. [A disgruntled look.] They had me out in space.

[failedhorribly]

...You weren't at Ithor, were you?

[deeployalty]

[She shakes her head.] I had already been shipped out before Ithor.

[failedhorribly]

Wonderful. Some blighted leader I make.

[deeployalty]

Hawke?

[failedhorribly]

[a sigh, before she waves her hand as if directing it all away] Ignore me! I'm jsut thriving on the drama, as per usual. You know about the draft, then?

[deeployalty]

[Aveline smiles softly.] Hawke, don't judge yourself harshly. If I had been able to get in contact with you, I would have. I'm sorry.

[failedhorribly]

Apology accepted. [She says it with that easy air that means she's totally blaming herself :'D] I enlisted. [If she could chinhands rn she would]

[deeployalty]

[An eyebrow raise.]

And here I thought you were finished with being the hero.

[failedhorribly]

Bethany was drafted.

[deeployalty]

[That sobers her up.] Of course she was.

[failedhorribly]

[a mock sigh] Nineteen years we spent on the run, and she goes and puts her realinformation down on the damn form. [A beat] Which I of course as an upstanding member of society have certainly done.

[deeployalty]

[8|] She had no reason to run here, Hawke. Mages aren't persecuted. They're... celebrated. I don't blame her for not wanting to hide who she is. [A beat.] She's a Warden. She'll know how to take care of herself.

[failedhorribly]

[making a face] You know I hate it when you make sense.

[deeployalty]

Someone around here needs to.
