"I suppose the big question is whether or not you're used to my kind of trouble," she teases, though there's not much remaining heat to the joke. She knows well what kind of danger was following him when he met her and she's vowed to keep him away from it for as long as she can.
Another knife of guilt slices into her at the reminder that she's supposed to be dead and thus couldn't protect him even if Danarius were still alive. She'd left him alone and broken that promise to herself. What a wonderful legacy the Champion of Kirkwall has left him.
"The little metal pod thing that's been tucked away opened," she answers finally, curling up more on the couch so she's got her legs tucked under her. It's not a position she normally takes, but she's feeling less than ideally comfortable at the moment, so tucked up it is. "I've never seen anything like it, Fenris. Natasha said something about computers and technology, but I couldn't understand any of the writing. Or how the thing just lit up on the inside without any fires or torches or candles. No magic that I could see, though without Bethany or Merrill I'll never know for sure. I want to go back sometime to ask Natasha about it, but not now."
Hawke's a little too tired at the moment.
"She was determined to memorize and read as much as she could before we left. That's why I was gone so long." Because of course Hawke couldn't just leave Natasha there. That would go against every fiber of her being.
