"Hawke." He's used that tone on her before, when she insisted that she didn't care that Carver became a goddamn templar, when she tried to claim with a straight face that Isabela was only okay-looking. It was his calling-the-bullshit tone, but always laced with tenderness.
"What is it? You're gonna make me cry just lookin' at you." For the first time in this conversation he finally looked AT her instead of through her, really looked, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Something wrong? With Fenris? Whatever it is, you know I'm always here to listen."
He knew how Fenris got about mages. It was the only thing he could think of that would make her act all weird. That he had congratulated her- but maybe congratulations weren't in order.
Maker damn it. All he wanted was to puke some positive bullshit at her then drink alone.
