[He tries to resist and remain impassive, but he can't just not kiss back when Anders kisses him; so after a few moments, he relaxes and returns the kiss, tightening his hold on Anders' hand.]
[He's relieved as Hawke kisses back; he didn't go too far, then. After another moment, he pulls away, but barely.]
Let me make one thing very clear, Hawke.
[he strokes his hand across his cheek, softly]
You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Why in Andraste's name would I ever be interested in anyone else? You're perfect. More than I could ever hope for.
[Well, that assuages Hawke's bruised ego a little bit.]
[But more than that, it sounded almost like the beginnings of a confession. Hawke hadn't realized how much he'd grown to depend on those three little words until Anders had abruptly stopped saying them once they'd arrived here.]
So you won't mind if I decide not to braid my beard, then?
[Hawke, this is not the time for your stupid humor...]

It can be very stylish.
[oh yes, he's teasing.]
no subject
[But he realizes Anders is teasing him, so he doesn't sound too put out.]

[GOING WITH THIS NOW.]
no subject
[Uh, Anders, you do remember the invisible beard incident, don't you?]
And what's wrong with my face the way it is now?

[Hawke you are making this too easy.]

[Yeah, he's definitely pouting now. Anders, why so mean? :<]

There are barely any dwarves in this place, Hawke.

[nope. laughing.]

[UGH he is so disgusted he is pouting as hard as he can and looking away, UGH!!!]
[Not letting go of Anders' hand though]

And then he kisses him deeply.]

That's the last thing you have to worry about.
