Bethany Hawke | Dragon Age II | OTA

[BECAUSE I SAID SO

we're at that stupid fancy party in Orlais.

8|

So while Hawke is off being weird and seducing people, Fenris has sort of been standing off to the side, uncomfortable being so on display in this crowd. He doesn't fit in at all. He doesn't care to, really, but it's...

Slightly uncomfortable.] I'll be glad when we are done with this.

So will I, but... [Bethany sighs and continues to gaze longingly at the people waltzing on the dance floor, like she has been since the moment they arrived. Look, this is the kind of thing she has dreamed of since forever, wearing pretty dresses and going to fancy parties and being all rich and noble and shit.

She shakes her head and glances back over at Fenris. Why you gotta be so grouchy all the time, man.] It's not that bad, is it? Certainly not the worst thing my sister has gotten us into.

[magicalfisting]

[He's been around this group of people for long enough to get the social cues Bethany's practically pouring out of her body at this point. He shifts, crossing his arms over his chest before deciding to let them hang by his sides. There's nothing special about what's happening here.

Except that the woman next to him is more than obvious in what she wants.

His eyebrows furrow together. The elf supposes he could walk away. She's attractive enough to garner attention from one of the men here.

n o p e] I would not judge just yet. The mission she has dragged us into is hardly over.

[passive]

I suppose you're right. [No shut up she is not being obvious at all!! I-It's not like she wants to dance or anything, baka!

Another sigh. Seriously, not obvious at all. She's just bored. And worried about Marian. Y E P that's the ticket.] Hopefully this will be over before this gets to be too troublesome.

[magicalfisting]

[You're strangling him with your obviousness!!!!!!!!

His gaze flickers to her. To the crowd. To her. The crowd.

And then there's a deep, throaty chuckle at her words.] It's a little too late for that hope, Bethany. We are not the type to keep things quiet.

[Fenris turns to face her.] If we're going to be made to wait while your sister runs her errands, we might as well pass the time. [A long pause because lol... how does he shot this?] We could dance.

[passive]

[Bethany watches him curiously, not entirely certain what it is he has in mind. Surely he isn't interested in dancing. That doesn't seem very Fenris-like.

And yet. She stares at him for a moment, blinking, her mouth agape in surprise.]

We... could. If you wanted.

[but deep down inside she's like
]

[magicalfisting]

[A smirk worms its way to his face at the surprised look on hers. He may not want to completely do this, but that.

That's worth it.]

I would like to.

[passive]

[She is the most stunned right now. But you know what, she is going to take this once in a lifetime opportunity and run with it.

A small smile creeps up on her face as she extends her arm toward him, almost shyly.] Shall we, then?

[magicalfisting]

[He has no idea what he's doing or why he's doing it, even as he takes the woman's arm gently and leads her further out so that there's room for them to even dance. The likelihood of Hawke stabbing him through is high; but he figures that he has a better chance of survival than these nobles.

Fenris pulls her closer, one hand resting on her hip as he takes her hand with his free one.] I must admit that I'm not well practiced.

[passive]

[Well, with any luck, they'll be done dancing by the time Hawke gets back...!

...Yeah, no, who are we kidding. You gonna get shanked, Fenris. Sorry dude.

TOTALLY WORTH IT, THOUGH. Bethany rests her free hand on the elf's shoulder, unable to hide her grin. Or the blush creeping up on her cheeks.]

Neither am I. We'll embarrass ourselves together.

[magicalfisting]

[He's lived... a life. He supposes.

Fenris smiles at the blush, decides to not mention it really. Or the fact that he finds her really attractive when she smiles at him like that. He definitely doesn't mention that he's glad she agreed.]

I find that hard to believe, Bethany.
