[ behind the camera there is some shuffling, a tuff of dark hair is spotted momentarily before disappearing. and then her forehead appears in frame. ]
Fenris. [ maker it is hard to find the words, she wants to ask him something but how does she ─ ] How do you... [ uuggh. ] 'm a mage, and not the Hawke you remember so. [ almost there. ] How do you feel about me?
[Hawke it is way too late at night for these kinds of questions. He falls silent, for a while]
So far you have proven yourself a capable woman, understanding of your power and not ready to flaunt it, nor to cry out for your mistreatment like Anders. [He still says that name like it makes a bad taste in his mouth] I am still cautious, but so far you have not given me any reason to wish to see you harmed.
[He should probably tackle that different Hawke thing too. A little more silence] I have seen more than enough similarities between you to understand you are one and the same, only fates, destiny, whatever it is put you on a different path from him. At your cores, you are still Hawke.
[He'll fall silent again because that's an awful lot of speaking in a short space of time for him]
[ still cautious, not at all surprised by that. her forehead crinkles a little bit but she is smiling, if only a little lopsidedly. until that smile grows even more and she pulls the tablet around to properly get a look at him ─ and allow him to get a proper look at her.
don't mind her mildly disheveled look, she's be rolling around a bit on this horrid bed. ]
Thanks. [ look at that smile. ] Really, thank you, that is nice to hear. Very nice. Like your voice. [ aheheheh. ] You're important, to me ─ you all are I mean, we're like the most dysfunctional almost family sort of thing. [ where is she going with this? honestly not even hawke is very certain, words are just coming out. ] So it's good to hear that, saves me from some identity issues up the road. I have heard they aren't very fun.
[Hawke you look like you do after a night in the Hanged Man, gosh]
Yes...we are something of a family. [The closest thing to family he'll have now. Varania made it clear when she walked out she wanted out of the picture]
They are most unpleasant, I do not recommend them.
[ her nose wrinkles. ] I've slept in floors before Fenris, they are very comfortable compared to this. [ one arm flails dramatically. ] I can barely move.
Ah. [This is difficult, he has a lot of Hawke feelings, of course he does, and he's admitted she is, at least, the same as his Hawke in all ways but her gender and her abilities. But this is a bigger step than just a tumble in the hay, because Hawke... Hawke would never be just a tumble in the hay. This requires...thought]
[ silly Fenris, she was mostly joking though the implication didn't escape her inebriated mind. unsuccessfully Hawke tries to hide the grin on her face, highly amused by his reaction. always so easy to fluster. ]
There is no such thing as too much. [ but there is such a thing as not enough alcohol on this base. ]

and then there is silence, but she doesn't hang up. Well then. ]

Hawke, I can still see your room.

I am sure it is more comfortable than the floor which I have chosen to sleep on.

Perhaps you have had too much to drink?

There is no such thing as too much. [ but there is such a thing as not enough alcohol on this base. ]

Varric and Isabela would likely agree with you on such matters.
video;
That's because they are right. [ she tilts her head slightly. ] Are you red? You look red. You know I was joking, don't you? [ only partially. ]
video;
No. I am not red, and of course I knew it was a joke.

Are you certain?
