Interpreted this initially not as shelves, but as your cat having erected defensive fortifications

this is probably my fault for letting the common fanonisation where fenris is like begrudgingly courted by a more romantically inclined hawke get to me and my perceptions of the characters inbetween my playthroughs, but it never gets less crazy to me that if u don’t flirt with fenris on first meeting then he does the whole “practise my flattery for your next visit” bit in the next cutscene basically entirely unprompted in the actual conversation, im always like HELLO even though i know the line is coming and i’m the one who pressed the heart button. but hawke barely flirts in that version, purple hawke just has that stupid “you sound like you’re about to ask for a loan” bit, they did NOT start that. & they’re either a mage or the person who’s introduced him to 3 mages since they met last week. & he just starts being cute. even before u take the heart option it’s all like “i could see myself staying... for the right reasons...” and “had i known anso would find someone so capable...” or whatever like Hello. Hello. Is Everyone Seeing This. and i literally know he’s going to say that why am i gasping

when im 45 years old ill still be here posting like take my hand. lets go into menopause together
