She really is tiny, isn't she?

[it's so much more obvious now with the lack of fur. And he'd still argue she looks like a drowned rat, if a very happy one.

And he knows Hawke won't back down with this, so he reaches out to scratch her behind one ear.]

Is she really supposed to be this small? Are we feeding her enough?

[hawkethat]

[Don't think he didn't notice that "we", Anders. <3]

She's grown a little since we got her.

[Pearl goes totally still when Anders starts scratching behind her ear; maybe if she's really, really good, he'll forget what he's doing and just keep doing it!

...Hey, she can hope!]

We're feeding her plenty. She's not skinny, just...small.

[onetrackminds]

[he might not be a dog person, but she still deserves to be taken care of, okay. He's a responsible kinda guy!!]

I've never seen a dog this small before coming here. She'd be a snack to a mabari.

[... it's a good thing she doesn't understand him, isn't it? She still just looks happy because he's petting her.]

[hawkethat]

I hadn't, either. And she would be.

[What? He's not going to deny it, she's bite-sized!]

Although I think even a mabari would have trouble with all the hair.

[onetrackminds]

[he laughs at that, suddenly.]

She's a fur ball.

[it's funnier because he's had cats.]

[hawkethat]

[HAWKE DOESN'T GET IT]

...What's so funny?

[onetrackminds]

[pause.]

You'll see once we have cats.

[hawkethat]

[...He doesn't like the sound of that.]

That sounds ominous.

[onetrackminds]

...

At least cats don't pee on my clothes.

[hawkethat]

She only did that once. And she felt bad.

[Anders, you need to let go of that. :<]

[onetrackminds]

I'm just reminding you.

[all pets have their flaws okay don't hold it against the cats.]

[hawkethat]

I have to confess I'm not sure what hairballs have to do with her peeing on your clothes.

[All pets have their flaws okay don't hold it against the puppy]

[onetrackminds]

Aside from the fact she is one?

[hawkethat]

Aside from that. You said "furball" and then started laughing, and then mentioned cats.

[HE'S CONFUSED ANDERS HE DOESN'T KNOW CATS come on be a bro here ;w;]

[onetrackminds]

A joke is never funny if you have to explain it.

[quoting Varric here probably.]

[hawkethat]

...No, I guess it isn't.

[He won't pursue it, but that's not going to stop him from feeling confused! Or suddenly (even more) worried about taking on a litter of seven cats.]

[onetrackminds]

[he doesn't want to scare him too much beforehand!]

Are you going to keep teaching your furball how to swim?

[hawkethat]

I think so, unless you needed me for something.

[Suggestive eyebrow waggle]



[Hawke, no, stop, Hawke, you're both naked in public, stoppit...!]

[onetrackminds]

[smiles, and leans in to kiss him.]

Later, definitely.

[hawkethat]

[Hawke smiles back as he returns the kiss]

Are you going to keep being all handsome and distracting over there?

[He indicates the deeper water where Anders had been swimming with a tilt of his head]

[onetrackminds]

[you are a mystery to him, Hawke.]

If you don't mind. I'd like to swim.

[hawkethat]

[What why]

Then swim. We'll be right here.

[onetrackminds]

[because he's a far too skinny man with, currently, stubble bordering on a beard and dark circles under his eyes. To start with.

Hardly the definition of handsome.]

We can take turns if you'd like to swim as well.

[as in, he'll babysit the hairball.]

[hawkethat]

[Hawke disagrees!]

I'd like that.

[Anders gets another kiss for offering to babysit puppy so Hawke can swim too.]

[onetrackminds]

[just remind him to shave later.]

Alright. I won't take too long.

[he kisses back, then turns to swim off again.]
