You've reached Hawke! Leave a message on this thing that I don't even remotely understand and I'll fumble my way to figure out how to answer your most important request.
[She didn't know what she expected Tony to say to the revelation but... it wasn't that.
"Well shit". Those were Varric's words. She could hear his voice in her mind saying that phrase, echoing and reverberating around in her head until it almost felt like she was in pain.
Hawke makes a strangled noise, somewhere between a cry of pain when stubbing your toe and someone choking on their own runny nose. Then it turns into a laugh. A slightly disjointed, disconnected laugh since there's nothing really funny at all.]
What would he do if it were Pepper? Or Hawke, or Nate? He still doesn't know. He's accepted it as a possibility, maybe even an inevitability... and yet he's never stopped to dwell too long on what the quiet moments after would be like. When it's just you and your thoughts.
That's the stage Hawke is currently at, it seems. ]
Now I can't even give you a hard time about being melodramatic.
I'm not even good at sad melodrama. I don't cry, my nose just runs and I look like a human waterfall.
[She sniffs and rubs at her nose. Sometimes she wishes she could cry instead of feeling slightly disconnected from it all. Maybe it would some how relieve her from what she's feeling. Like cutting open a festering wound. And yet she never was able to do it. Not even when her mother died.
Hawke sighs deeply and looks over at him, finally. Her blue eyes aren't red like her nose but they're exhausted and dull.]
