All companions lined up, Hawke walk up and down, Isabela leans closer to Merrill, "what's going on?"
Merrill shrugs "she came by my house and here I am" they looked at Hawke as she paced, "I don't know what's going on"
"Anders! There you are, finally." Hawke gesture him to stand next to the others.
"Right!" She claps her hands once, "you have no idea why you're here"
They just looked at eachother.
"Well, remember when- Ah, Sebastian- I wasn't sure you got my letter-"
"I was in the middle of a pray-" he looked at them all, "uh... what's going on?"
Isabela stuck her head out of the line "beats us."
"Good good, stand here- I can finally start" Hawke closed her eyes, took a deep breath...
"You guys know when you first start to follow me, and you bring your own-" she gestures around, "personal-" she places her hands on her chest, "items, weapons or accessories..." she looked at them, encouraging them to react.
"I... do... did have a swor-" Fenris started, Hawke pointed at him "Aha! Yes!"
The elf stopped and stared at her, Hawke continued, she pointed at each and every one...
They said what they had vs what they were using now.
Aveline frowned, "Hawke... is this becau-"
"Yes, Aveline! It is."
"Well?" Isabela started, "don't keep us in the dark"
"All you had? All your weapons and accessories?" Hawke had her arms out, they nodded awkwardly, "I still have them, yep! They're in a chest, in my house."
Aveline exhaled "what?"
"I did not sell anything."
Varric looks around, "did anyone think you did?"
Hawke stared at Aveline.
Aveline lowered her head, "I accused Hawke of selling my... Weasley's shield"
"Which I didn't."
"Which you didn't... I'm sorry, Hawke."
"I would never do that to you- to any of you... I gave you better armour than what you had, I have my old armour in that chest too" she sighed heavily, smiling weakly, "just needed you guys to know that."
Reassurance fell over the group, comfortable silence.
"Alright!" Varric clapped his hands together suddenly, taking everyone's attention, "I think we all could use a drink"
Hawke walked next to Varric, she turned around to the rest of the group, "on me" she smiled.
