Soooooo ... is this our relationship now? We both do something that other people think is crazy and for me, at least, I know is now crazy, and then the other one gently pokes to make sure everything is all right?

[There's a wry humor to Bethany's words.]

I heard about the informal question and answer session. Inessa is concerned about your safety. I told her I would check in.

[His voice is quiet.]

I'm all right, Bethany, and as safe as I'll ever be in this city. Though that may have changed again thanks to Alistair's message. I wish...

[Anders sighs.]

Never mind. No one has attacked me physically in a while, at least.

[Bethany exhales slowly, as something finally sinks in for her.]

...and now, I get to enjoy a moment of crow.

[How can she forgive Anders but not give Loghain a chance to prove himself....

Sigh. The Hawke with Restraint. Sometimes it's a name she knows she has to grasp on with both hands before it slips away from her, and even now it can still break loose.]

..followed with a, would you like to come with me and pass out food to the needy?

Mm.

[It's a quiet acknowledgement. The whole post had been brutal, cruel, and petty, and it had made him all the more aware of how precarious his situation was. A mob is a lot like an avalanche - all it takes is a small force and then stopping it is basically impossible. As far as the other goes, he looks around the Clinic.]

Let me make certain that the needy down here are being seen to and the others can handle the patients in the waiting room. By the time you get here, as I'm assuming you'll be helping in Darktown? I'll be ready to go with you for a time.

I am sorry, Anders. And yes, I know, you're not the only one I will need to apologize to.

[That one was ... going to take at least a few hours of clearing her head and her heart.]

Oh good! Now, if you just let me know how many needy there are in the clinic right now, I'll bring extra so they can bring it home.

Thank you. And... a moment.

[The crystal gets set down on the desk as he goes through and counts, returning a few moments later.]

Three small families, fourteen individuals. It's a thankfully slow day.

Fourteen .... yes, I have more than enough of everything. Good, good.

[She hummed, as she started to go prepare her cart of things.]

I'll be there in about twenty minutes. With blankets and the whole lot.

I'll be ready.

[And then it's time to clean up and make sure things are set up when he comes in again later. Leaving here to help out elsewhere doesn't mean he's done for the day. There's always another injury or illness, or sometimes he gets a break from that and he has a chance to each.

When Bethany gets there, she'll find him going over the vowel sounds with a mother and her small son, teaching the pair to read together.]

[Bethany comes pulling a handcart behind her, filled to the brim with carefully tied sacks. She pauses at the entrance, a quiet smile working over her face as she watched Anders with the mother and child.

She folded her hands, keeping herself quiet and still, until Anders looked up, and even then she just waved.]

[He gives her a smile when she waves, coming over and nodding.]

Let's hand out what you've got for here, shall we? And then head out for the rest.

[It's accomplished pretty quickly and orderly; the people who are regulars at the Clinic know the drill by now. Once it's finished, he gives Bethany a nod.]

Lead on, Warden Hawke.

[She beams over at him, already deciding to bring some of the older, unwanted volumes of reading books from the Library here. Someone ought to make use of it, after all.]

Of course!

[She makes sure that everyone gets a bundle of their own, and for the families with younger children she sneaks in a few silvers as well. She turns towards Anders, beaming.]

Why thank you, Warden Anders. This way.

[She pulls her cart towards the stairs, using force magic to ease it down the steps without tilting over.]

[It's nice to be building a community down here where magic might still be worrying some people, but others are starting to get used to it. It's a sign of what can come if they keep working on it, and he has every intention of doing so.]

Have you been doing this often?

[She pauses the cart to hand out two bundles to two elves sitting by a fire, smiling at them.] There's food in there, as well as warm things to wear. I'm bringing blankets soon, so just look for me, all right?

[The elves nod their thanks, confused but grateful, as Bethany goes back to the cart.]

As often as I can sell a floofy dress to pay for more supplies. Which is fairly often.
