~001 Comedy Mask~ [Video]

Ah- yes. Hello. This... is Garret Hawke here. The Champion of Kirkwall. I appear to be in a place that's... not where I went to sleep. So either I've been drinking in the Hanged man again, or I've been kidnapped by some form of wily demon.

[He sighed and gave that beard a scratch.]

The thing is, I'm a big fan of knowing where I am, and there's a lot of things here that really make me question what I had to drink last night. These buildings don't look like anything in Kirkwall. Or Fereldan. Maybe these are tevinter buildings? No. Fenris probably would have commented on how they were built by slaves or something.

[He shook his head and sighed.]

Well. If anyone could give me information I'd pay them in... [He checked for his purse.] A charming smile and perhaps even a flirty wink.

[You don't appear in a world of five minutes and then there's all out chaos. Hawke steeled himself. It wasn't fair to blame either of them at this point, but Hawke would let it lay for the moment.]

Help me in my efforts to find him and I won't speak of it.

[Though... he couldn't resist.]

Is there anything else I ought to know Fenris?

[It grieved him to be this stern, but he wasn't going to stand for more surprises like this.]

[...he just can't lie to Hawke.]

We-- yes.

Due to our...grievances, some strange magic caused us to...switch bodies.

[Gonna let that one sink in a bit.]

. . .

. . .

[Processing... Please wait.]

So...

[They were arguing and they swapped bodies.

On one hand, Maker would I have LOVED to see Fenris doing Anders's facial expressions. On the other hand, I wasn't here to be diplomat. Oh good lord it was a blight wasn't it? Makers breath and Andraste's left buttock. This was going to be a long day.]

You were fighting and you swapped bodies? It sounds like a bad play idea from a Denerim acting company.

[He clears his throat, feeling a bit foolish.]

Perhaps, but it is true nonetheless. I hardly know how, just that it happened. And lasted for about a week. I-

[A deep breath.]

I could not control his magic. An innocent man suffered for it.

[Fenris... Hawke put a hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.]

You were in a body not familiar to your own. The fault is with whoever switched your... bodies.

[Nope. Still having trouble with that one. But Fenris is more important.]

You must not take the blame for something that you could not knowingly prevent. It takes practise to master magic, you were a novice put in charge of an adepts power with no instruction. If it was me? I doubt the city would still be standing.

Do you think I've not heard that several times? But does it--

[He shakes his head.]

N-no, forgive me. My insecurities are not your concern. What matters now is that you are here. If you wish to find him, I will assist you. As always.

Your everything is my concern Fenris. And that goes for all of you.

[He rolls his eyes. When were his companions ever going to learn that his problems are their problems and it works the other way too. That's how friends work.]

Is there a way we can get a map of the city? I'm not to good with directions especially in a place where I've never been.

I do not have one, no. Zevran, however, may. He is oddly very well-prepared.

[He still doesn't meet Hawke's eyes, but he seems at least a little more certain of himself now.]

[He nods, Anders... can sit on the back burner for a moment. Fenris needs a little reinforcement.]

So how well have you adjusted here? You seem very calm. Not that you weren't the calmest person I knew. It's rather frightening sometimes.

[He shrugs.]

I am pleased that you are here. Is that calm enough for you?

Yes. Very much so. I would have reacted very differently should no-one have been here who was glad to see me. I like attention.

[Teasing Fenris was always fun. He was a good sport for a grumpy elf.]

[A soft laugh.]

Yes, I have noticed that about you.

[He gestures to a door on his left.]

That room there is available for your use for as long as you need it.

Thank you. I shall deposit all my things and then--

[He looked around at the floor.]

Oh that's right! I have no things.

I earn quite a bit from my...employment. We can get you what you need -- I doubt any of Zevran's or my clothing would fit.

[Silly humans and their broad shoulders.]

I would rather pay for it myself, what employment do you have?

[He was interested. Fenris had made it his job to be a sword-arm for Hawke.]

I shall seek employment as soon as possible. It's a shame this place didn't bring my coinpurse with it. Or rather, any of the contents of my coin purse with it.

I'm a...bounty hunter.

[He shifts on his feet.]

As in the hunting of criminals or offending beasts?

[He blinks. Well, that's not an unwelcome thing as long as he's being careful and if it's people questioning everything like Hawke does.]

Do you enjoy the work?

The former. It is-- satisfying work, I suppose. It pays what it needs to, as well.

Well... Make sure you're not just blindly cutting people down. I'm not sure how many times we've turned up on a bounty list because we've done things to upset the rich and powerful.

[It's a joke. But not really.]

I am hardly a rampant murderer, Hawke. I am allowed to choose my contracts as well. I rarely find myself in a compromising position due to my work.

[Hawke stopped and blinked with a horrified look on his face. He just realised something horrible about himself.]

I've... become my mother.

[A startled laugh.]

Now that is a startling image, Hawke. I mean no offense, but I do not think you'd look half as elegant in her dress.

Oh no, I meant I've started to become concerned with my companions fighting and doing dangerous things I told them to be careful about killing people.

[He shudders.]

Though I happen to think I'd look fantastic in a dress.
