✓ Memoir 3 // Action in the Tavern

[hawkethat]

[The music is lively and the taps are open and flowing freely at Teeter's. It's a fantastic place to unwind after a long day of running errands. Hawke's got a table to himself where he can watch the dancing and keep his puppy pack contained and out from underfoot, away from the other patrons.

If he sees a familiar face, he'll wave and extend an invitation to join him.

If he sees an unfamiliar face, he'll pretty much do exactly the same thing, because that's how he rolls.]

Having a good time?

Comments

[onetrackminds]

I notice you're even confident enough now not to worry so much about your beard.

[Just. Casually suggesting it isn't as perfect as usual, trying to hide his preemptive amusement behind his beer.]

If you set your mind to it, Hawke, I'm sure you can learn how to sparkle.

[hawkethat]

[Even though he was just in the bathroom a few minutes before Anders finally showed up...]

...What's wrong with my beard?

[Hook, line, and sinker...he really is too easy, when you know how to bait him...]

[onetrackminds]

There's nothing wrong with your beard.

[Don't laugh, Anders. Don't laugh.]

You didn't shave it that way on purpose?

[hawkethat]

[Yes, he's normally extremely deliberate when he shaves and trims his facial hair. Which begs the question...]

Shave it what way?

[onetrackminds]

It seems less pointy.

[Oh, no, he won't last much longer. How have you not noticed his expression, Hawke, it's barely hidden behind this giant glass!!]

[hawkethat]

I haven't done anything differ--

[Oh. Wait.

Hawke's just going to squint suspiciously at Anders, now. You're making fun of him, aren't you??]

[onetrackminds]

[...yup, he's laughing.

sorry, Hawke.]

[hawkethat]

Well I'm glad you're amused.

[Said Hawke, sulking into his beer.]

[onetrackminds]

[oh, Hawke.]

I should find something else to tease you about, but you make it too easy, Hawke. [And that pout is adorable.] Will you forgive me if I get us another round?

[hawkethat]

[pout! pout!!!]

No. You were going to do that anyway, remember?

[onetrackminds]

[he finishes off his beer.]

Then think of something else while I get the drinks.

[hawkethat]

I'll do that.

[Grump grump, pout pout, etc.

And he finishes off his own beer. You gonna go get the next round, or what?]

[onetrackminds]

[He's going, he's going. And he'll get a slightly more expensive type of beer, too, because he feels he does owe Hawke a little.

He's back a few minutes, placing one pint in front of Hawke.]

There. Though I never asked what type of beer you prefer.

[hawkethat]

I like the wet kind.

[AKA no preference. So far. He picks his fresh pint up for a taste, and - ah. That's pretty good. Anders is forgiven.]

And whatever doesn't cost a ridiculous amount of money. And this one. This one doesn't have a ridiculous price tag, does it?

[onetrackminds]

[He shakes his head]

It's costs a bit more, but not much. It's worth getting on occasion.

[such as when he's buying for Hawke]

[hawkethat]

[Okay, that perks him up a bit.]

Does that make me a worthwhile occasion?

[Just flatter his ego, Anders, and you'll be fine...]

[onetrackminds]

Isn't that what I just said?

[flattering of ego, coming right up!]

[hawkethat]

Just making sure.

[Yeah, he's back to normal, just like that horrible teasing never happened!]

[onetrackminds]

You're fishing for compliments, you mean.

[This really is good beer, though.]

[hawkethat]

Me? Fish for compliments? I have no idea what you're talking about.

[It is really good beer...he might have to start buying this one regularly instead of the cheap one. ;w;]

[onetrackminds]

So I shouldn't tell you what I really think of your beard?

[Oh no, Hawke, your wallet...!!]

[hawkethat]

[Squints suspiciously]

Back to that already, are you?

[It's cool, it's not like he has a whole lot of other stuff he spends money on...]

[onetrackminds]

Yes, but since you don't want compliments...

[Well, no, since he just crashes in Anders' apartment instead of paying rent himself.]

[hawkethat]

I don't recall saying that.

[He only does that like, half the time!]

Considering past remarks about my beard, I think I have a right to be suspicious, don't you?

[onetrackminds]

You're just an easy target, Hawke.

[There's puppy fur all over his place!


...Since he doesn't clean.]
