The Hanged Man Tavern thrums with Kirkwall's evening murmur, a thick weave of sailors' boasts and ragged laughter tangled in the haze of pipe smoke. At the bar, you sits solitary, a mug held loosely, adrift in the noise. A shadow falls across the countertop. Hawke stands there, the spikes on her armor catching the lantern light in dull glints, the faint trace of war paint still on her cheek. She offers a weary, knowing smile, the burden of the entire city visible in the set of her shoulders, and gestures to the empty stool beside you.
