[ When the camera flips on, there is not much for it to regard. The ceiling is exposed, sloped above. The sound of soft breathing, of rustling sheets. After a moment, there is shifting. The tablet has a small hand flopped over it, obscuring much of the picture with small fingers half-curled in the comfort of sleep

[ Not even Garrett can resist jumping a little at the unexpected noise, but his eyes narrow, and he crouches just slightly, readying himself for the potential of an attack. Even despite, he laughs boisterously. Garrett Hawke? Afraid? Never. ]

Whatever it is, it stands no chance against me! [ He glances over his shoulder, giving Carver a cocky grin. ] Don’t worry, Carver, I’ll protect you.

[And then in a softer voice, Garrett adds ] And of course you too, Bethany. [ To her he offers a gentle smile. ] Almost there.

[ He gives Bethany’s hand a reassuring squeeze, and then shifts to resume pulling them across the stretching expanse of their back yard. Funny, it never seems this large when they’re playing during the day... Though young Carver has another idea as he sticks his nose in the air, an indignant frown on his lips at his brother’s teasing. Suddenly, he takes the lead and bravely, blindly, storms across the remaining bit of yard separating them from the outhouse, pulling his siblings behind him by their daisy-chain linked hands. ]

O-Ouch, Carver, stop pulling! You’re hurting my wrist! [Bethany winces, trying to keep up with her suddenly gung-ho twin, while Garrett is quick to keep up, giving Carver a frown as Bethany winces. Still, not about to be outdone he is quick to keep up with Carver, even falling into step alongside him as they drag poor Bethany along between them

[She's just going to watch this...]

[ The Memory picks up where Aveline has interjected to watch. Which is with Garrett puffing up his chest looking self-important. ]

I’m the oldest, so I’ll make sure it’s safe. [ This is said with a dirty look shot towards Carver, and he stalks forward, wrenching the outhouse door open and grimacing as he holds his stick at the ready.

It is notably empty, and stinky.

Straightening, Garrett turns and looks towards his siblings, nodding in satisfaction that he has deemed it safe. ] Go ahead Bethany, we’ll be right here. I’ll patrol the perimeter.

[ Meaning he’ll cautiously begin to walk around the out house. You know, just to make sure nothing can get Bethany from behind it while she’s in there!

[In all honesty, she finds this somewhat adorable. She doesn't want to admit that though, so she's just going to watch.]

[ Adorable or not, Garrett is poised to sneak around the outhouse when he notices the shining glow of the tablet, and glances towards it. He chooses to ignore it, however, playing it off as a trick of still being tired, and instead favours finishing sneaking around the outhouse to get the jump on his siblings. ]

AWOOOooooOOOO I am the sköll come to feast on your tasty flesh and chew on your bones! [ Bethany screams shrilly and Carver nearly jumps out of his skin, letting out a loud yelp. Garrett dissolves into laughter then, despite himself. ]

[And she just starts laughing. A lot.]

[And another spectator to add to the mix, though her amusement is a little bit rueful. Why so adorable, sort-of-brothers?]

[ The tablet rests in the grass, but Garrett is far more interested in what his siblings are doing than it. ]

[Marian sputters a laugh into her hand.]

The shadows are surely terrified.

[So...this is what they were like.

Anders almost wants to let them continue. Whether this is from all three of them or just one or two of them, doesn't matter. Sorry, children. To him, this is no different from the Fade.]

I really hate to interrupt such a...nice memory. [Yeah, he really feels bad.] But this isn't real.

Stop making things up, Carver! [ There is honest snappy annoyance in Garrett's voice this time, because honestly Carver all your big bro wants to do right now is go back to sleep. It's the middle of the night for the Maker's sake! ] Go to bed...

[ Taking his own advice Garrett is rolling over, closer to Bethany and away from his insistent sibling's shaking hand. ] Stop it!

[ He swats at the other with a whine, before slowly sitting up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes- and freezing at the figure in the middle of the room. Holy shit, Carver wasn't kidding! ] Oy! What do you think you're doing?! [ The elder Hawke puffs up his cheeks, looks alarmed, and looks as though he's five seconds from shouting at the top of his lungs for their father. ]

[spiritessence]

[Somewhere in the back of his mind, he is glad that this isn't the Fade, as similar as it is. Justice isn't very good with children.]

I'm here to free you. [There is something utteraly wrong about talking to this child who will grow up to be the big, bearded, reckless, charming, handsome...okay, he needs to stop.]

Trust me, place isn't safe for any of you.
