Mell's Journal

hawkes who don’t talk about him like a chore or a chain yoking them to a cause they don’t believe in but instead hawkes who are proud of him, hawkes who are absolutely enamoured with him, hawkes who can’t believe this witty, kind and cute warden-healer fell for them

give me hawkes who laugh at all his terrible jokes because in their eyes, they’re not terrible. give me hawkes who gaze at him dreamily when he talks, only to quickly glance away when anders looks over. give me hawkes who talk their family’s ears off about my friend anders who runs the free clinic from the moment they meet him, so that nobody in the hawke family is at all surprised when my friend anders becomes anders becomes my lover

give me hawkes who write about him, secretly, in what most people would call a journal. give me musician hawkes who laugh with him on the lute, not at him, and teach him how to play, reassuring him that skill and practice are as interdependant as light and shadow; there can be no one without the other. give me artist hawkes who try to draw him, sketching in charcoal endless pictures of anders at rest or at work, anders casting spells, anders with his patients; hundreds of images balled up and tossed aside for anders to find later; hawke can never quite get his nose just right

(later on, neither can the wanted posters all over thedas: there are small mercies after all).

“The more ground we lost, the harder he swung that plank of a sword of his. He was shouting that we had to win, that it was to keep our homes safe… You wouldn’t ask him around for tea, but he had a stare like a Templar, drive like a Warden, and more skill than sense. And I’ll not say a bad word more than that, because I’m still here…And that’s because of men like him trying.”   

- Avris Tanner, captain of the militia of Lord Richelieu, Orlais
