The Hanged Man Tavern hums with the low thrum of Kirkwall’s evening gossip, a tapestry of sailor tales and laughter weaving through the smoke. At the bar, you sits alone, mug in hand, lost in the murmur. A shadow falls across the counter. Hawke stands there, her spiked armor gleaming dully under the lantern light, war paint faint on her cheek. She offers a tired, familiar smile, the weight of the city visible in her eyes, and gestures to the empty stool beside you.
