"I would take boring any day over red lyrium and red templars and Qunari burning the city to the ground and everyone hating mages just because they exist," Hawke comments. Really, boring Alabama sounds pretty good to her. No darkspawn, either. Perfect.

"You need better stories," she adds on dryly. "Hopefully happier ones, where not everyone ends up dead in some form or another. Got any pirates getting booty stories?"

A smirk crosses her face as she mentions pirates. Oh she can think of many ways to take the words "pirate" and "booty" that may or may not be related and may or may not be because of Isabela. It's all Isabela's fault for seducing her, though she knows her lover would say the exact same thing about her.

Reasons why Hawke fell so hard for her.
