[He smiles, and though it's small, it's genuine. He crosses to take the wine, taking a long swill of the bottle before handing it back. ]
I never thought I would see her again.
[Which means eventually they are going to have to discuss how they said goodbye. He never thought a moment of rashness he'd allowed himself would come back and bite him in the ass, but there you go. ]
I...am very glad to see her well. I have been worried about her. She was always good to me while we were under the Initiative.
[Because she loves him. He knows that. His own feelings for her are a big, writing mess he'd rather not deal with right now. ]
[As she takes the wine from him, she motions for him to take a seat with her and watching him closely while she takes a rather long drink from the bottle. There's absolutely something there, something he's keeping under the surface, and she can't help but be painfully curious about it.]
I wish I had known it was the exact same Hawke, instead of assuming there were just similarities. I could have told you more about what happened.
[There's an apology there, but it's unsaid for right now. She thinks that Fenris will understand, that he'll forgive her the mistake.]
It is fine. There seem to be infinite versions of our world, it would be impossible to know that they were the same. Do not trouble yourself with such things. What matters is that she survived.
[The circumstances of that survival are questionable, but that's absolutely something Jove isn't about to talk about freely. It's Hawke's secret, her story to tell, and no one will hear it from Jove. She hands the wine back to Fenris, leaning in a little conspiratorially.]
I don't suppose you'd like to tell me where you met her.
Myself and Merrill had already been in Exsilium for a month by the time she arrived. I was on a mission when she turned up, but I'd been warned she was not the Hawke from my world. We met up, talked, drank. Spoke of the differences in our worlds.
Her bother is dead in mine, I have met her sister. It seems for her, it was the other way around.
