That's the entire point of chocolates.

[Creators save her, how is someone normally so broody and honestly kind of intimidating so very cute?]

Are you fond of strawberries?

[wolfuncaged]

I prefer function over form.

[It's his true secret power. He shrugs.]

They are...fine. I prefer apples.

[dawnwillcome]

I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[Yes, next time. As in, this is going to be a theme now.]

[wolfuncaged]

[A slight quirk of his lips.]

There will be more times?

[dawnwillcome]

[So cute. Smile always, Fenris.]

Of course there will be. There's a lot out there besides apples and chocolates for you to try, so obviously there have to be many more times.

[wolfuncaged]

[He can make no promises in this area. ]

That is... very kind of you. Thank you.

[dawnwillcome]

[She nods and gives him a smile, then motions to the wine.]

You haven't even opened that yet.

[wolfuncaged]

[He glances down at the wine, before cautiously opening it, giving it a careful whiff, before taking a sip. Who uses glasses?]

Hmmm. It's good wine.

[dawnwillcome]

[Not Fenris, apparently, but it's hardly a sight she's not used to. Half the Chargers seemed to hate glasses, it must be a Tevinter thing.]

Alright then, sweets and wine. You wouldn't happen to have any other things you like I could bring you, would you?

[wolfuncaged]

[It's totally a Tevinter thing. Or at least, a lower class Tevinter thing. He gives a soft, amused huff. ]

I think you bring enough for me as it is. I'm not sure what I have done to deserve all this, anyway.

[dawnwillcome]

[She really does love that huff laugh he does, it's immeasurably charming.]

That speaks well for you continuing to get gifts from me, then. Part of the fun is doing it to see if I can make you smile.

[wolfuncaged]

[That gets an eyebrow raise. ]

Is that what this is about?

[dawnwillcome]

Not entirely. More like it's a pleasant side effect being kind to you.

[wolfuncaged]

[His smile softens, a touch. ]

I still do not know what I've done to deserve it, but thank you.

[dawnwillcome]

You haven't necessarily done anything to be rewarded for, if that's what you mean. You have, however, become someone I like. I tend to spoil the people I like.

[wolfuncaged]

I-

...Thank you. I am...unused to such gifts.

[dawnwillcome]

I know. We'll work on that, though. When is your nameday?

[wolfuncaged]

[The tentative half smile he was wearing vanishes. ]

I...don't know.

[He raises a hand, carefully. ] When I received the brand, the pain blacked everything away. [It didn't, it was Danarius, but he doesn't know that. He'll likely never know that. ] I remember almost nothing of my life before it.

[dawnwillcome]

Fenris...

[She's never asked for details about his past before, made her own assumptions based on where he was from and how elves were treated there, but that... is more than she expected.]

You should pick one, then. The day your life became your life, perhaps.

[wolfuncaged]

[He gives a dismissive shrug. It's gone and the only person who can put together the shattered jigsaw of his memories wants nothing to do with him. It's no good dwelling on what he can't fix. ]

Hawke and the others gave one to me. I suppose they did not want me to feel left out. [He sounds awkward. It's awkward. ] Usually I just enjoy the day I escaped. By myself.

[dawnwillcome]

[She reaches out, hand heading towards his arm to touch comfortingly, before she thinks better of it and stops. Her fingers are mere inches from him, but instead she just gives him a small smile and drops her hand back to her side. They might not be there yet. She doesn't want to presume.]

We'll celebrate the one Hawke gave you, then. When is that?

[wolfuncaged]

[He doesn't flinch away, or put distance between them. She would have been allowed.]

Sixth Solace. There is little to celebrate, though.

[dawnwillcome]

[She'll have to keep that in mind for the next time.]

You should leave that up to the people who are glad you're in this world, Fenris. I don't imagine you'd want a big party, but a small gathering of friends can be arranged.

[wolfuncaged]

[But he just wants to sit in the dark and brood :(]

Ugh. You're as bad as the dwarf.

[dawnwillcome]

Well now you're just flattering me.
