OP anon was thinking that would be part of it. It's kind of an inherent cultural symbol of support/guidance/protection/etc. depending on context that whoever he asks would be utterly flustered.
But seriously, PLEASE? I will make you cookies! I will fill a prompt for you!!

"This... this is pointless, Hawke," frustration bit sharply at Fenris' deep voice as he closed the book, though he handled the tome with care even now; not slamming it shut, his fingertips lingering on the cover where it rested upon the table. His head was bowed, as it often was, and his eyes were mostly concealed from Hawke by his stark white hair. Even now, Fenris behaved like a wounded and angry animal... lingering mannerisms from his life as a slave, no doubt. "I'm tired of always looking the fool in front of you. This is enough."
"You don't look the fool at all, Fenris," Hawke by contrast sounded perfectly reasonable and calm, as he usually did. He watched as the elf's shoulders relaxed, just a little, under that thin-looking armor of his. Reassurance was welcome, it seemed, even if Fenris would hardly ask for it directly... "You're learning, but it takes time, especially when your teacher has no idea how to actually teach anything. If anyone is at fault, it's probably me

"Nothing more than this, I promise you," was Hawke's calm response, and he looked down at his temporary prize for a moment, tracing the straight lines of Fenris' markings that sliced upwards along his bare palm with his eyes. Gingerly, he turned the hand over in both of his, letting it rest naturally over one of his.
"My mother did this when I was learning to read," Hawke said quietly, stroking his bare fingers over the backs of Fenris' armored ones -- in only one direction, of course, else the armor would have sliced his skin wide open. "It was distracting at first, but it became soothing after a while. I think it was just the repetition, but it's worth trying now, don't you think?"
The elf very nearly fidgeted in place, his free hand lingering near the wine, then drifting to re-open the book. It was doubtful he could feel much of the stroking through his armor, but even the light pressure upon the different plates had to be... something, over and over again. The mage's other fingers were curled only lightly over the side of his
