[He sighs, long suffering and over dramatic as the Pho place comes into view.]
No, not you too. I was fond of you and everything, but you're a dog person just like Hawke.
[His hand falls over hers on his arm and he gives it a squeeze to assure he's joking even as he continues on with his 'devastation.']
Yes, I suppose you could come over for a weekend and play with the puppies, if you must. Maybe we could host a small bonfire thing too and bring them with us. Patience would keep Cookie in line, at least.
[She laughs at Anders' faux dramatics, shaking her head at the silliness of it all.]
Well, they didn't exactly have Magical wooden horses when I was growing up--or, well, at all where I'm from, so I sort of had to make do with other creatures.
[It's such a nice, relaxing moment, and Sasha's probably feeling the best she has in a few days. The talk of that bonfire? Gets her head resting on his shoulder for a brief moment. Don't snuggle with your employer on a walk to lunch, Sasha. At least keep it brief.]
That would be lovely. If you're sure you'd have me for a weekend?
Sasha. [He says it with all the firm finality of someone very certain of the truth he's about to reveal.]
You are the epitome of a delight to be around. I am beyond sure.
[As they approach their destination, he only pulls away so he can open the door for her. once they've got their food and settled in more, he decides to shift the subject a bit.]
You're settling in now, right? I know you've got your friends here, obviously, but now I'm afraid you'll be having me checking in on you as well.
[Not just for the clothes or the job, but for anything else she might need as well. He wasn't very good at keeping friends, he might as well take care of the ones he had.]
[She smiles at the 'very serious, I mean it!' tone about her weekending, happy to squeeze his arm like she's known him for forever. Lord knows he's definitely seen enough of her--granted, through the thoughts of another, but that's the thing about Anders (and Hawke, too): They've been kinder than they could have been, and they both make it so easy just to sort of fall in love with them. Just a little.
Sasha's dark eyes study Anders for a moment at his query and his declaration that he's going to be minding after her, too, in some regard.]
I'm doing all right. I love working at Haven with you. I'm glad that Tim, Jon, and Martin are in the city, so that has been nice. Granted, my living with Tim is going to be interesting. He's definitely a fan of getting his 'kicks', shall we say, and the flat isn't always a calm place to be in the evenings.
[And that's being kind. David was out most of the time with work, and he was pretty quiet most of the time, anyway. Sasha sighs softly before leaning in for a spoonful of her lunch, humming in approval.]
Tim's agreed to at least go do whatever it is in a hotel room on various nights, and I've asked for him to pay for a few nights for me on my own. It's been a very long time since I've had roommates of any sort, so...
