It qualifies as you being an incredibly stubborn man.

[They can nom chicken in between talking. It's not like dinner has to be rushed.]

It's as good as, love.

[hawkethat]

Well, someone has to out-stubborn you into taking care of yourself.

[This is true! Though a slow dinner means delayed cuddles...]

I have to make sure it's presentable.

[Defensive? Hawke? Nooooo...

...Well. Maybe just a little bit...]

[onetrackminds]

I don't want you feeling like you have to.

[...That's his guilt slipping through again. It does that.]

Are you ever presentable?

[you're so easy to tease, Hawke.]

[hawkethat]

Stop that.

[He nudges Anders' foot with his to emphasize his point. No guilt complexes allowed!]

I don't do it because I feel like I have to, I do it because I want to.

[He pauses and grins a little.]

I'm not, no. That doesn't mean my beard can't be, though.

[onetrackminds]

I doubt feeding me is what you thought you were signing up for.

[Guilt tends to ruin his appetite, but... considering the topic, he'll do his best to keep eating anyway. And he knows he shouldn't be bringing this up now, so he'll go back to teasing:]

What if I distracted you from trimming your beard?

[hawkethat]

You might be surprised.

[He can see the guilt in Anders' eyes, and he would be a pretty shitty lover indeed if he hadn't figured out what causes that by now, so he (very tactfully, he thinks!) backs off, and allows Anders to tease him.]

Hmmm, you know, I'm not sure. You'd have to take that one up with my beard.

[onetrackminds]

[And he'll drop it, because tonight should be all about Hawke. And he's being selfish.]

I wouldn't dare go up against your beard.

[hawkethat]

That's an interesting idea, though. What would happen if I stopped trimming it?

[Uh, Hawke, that's a no-brainer: it would look awful and you would feel awful. Duh.]

[onetrackminds]

You would hide under a blanket and refuse to go outside.

[hawkethat]

No, that's what I wanted to do when it disappeared and made me look like Carver. An untrimmed beard would be the opposite of that.
