Summary
When Fenris comes to Hawke’s mansion, he meets Orana. And there is a kind of shy bonding over Tevene commonality. This is roughly sometime after Orana escapes from the caves and to Kirkwall for a week or so. I adore trying my hand at making drabbles/ shortfics for rare pairs. Fenris’ pov
Coming Home
I dropped by Hawke’s home to return a book. She had given me a prior reading lesson, bade me take home this fiction. I found it too baffling. As I knocked on the door shyly, I caught a whiff of fragrant spices, like turmeric, cumin and coriander and some kind of meat. Venhedis, I’m ravenous.
I expected the dwarf to open the door, but it was the timid elf girl we had saved. Almost a week ago? She stared at me with bambi eyes, then averted her gaze to the floor. “Hello Messere, Fenris is it?” Her voice was wobbly and high, like a bird’s.
I had come over in my usual spiky gear, oh no she must be in fear. I said, “Yes that’s right. Orana, you don’t have to call me messere now. Just Fenris. I’m here to visit Hawke.” I was looking at her bunned golden hair, she still bowed her head. I tried to soften my tone.
Orana tentatively looked up and stepped back. “Yes of course. Please come in and sit. Mistress is upstairs sleeping I think.” Coming into Hawke’s front room with the inviting couches, a wave of exhaustion washed over me. I moved to the rack, disarming my weapons, breastplate and spiked gloves. I was wearing a moss-green cotton shirt and loose pants. The delicious food aromas were more acute as Orana was moving towards the kitchen.
