‘I’ll show you why mages are feared,’ Anders has been known to say.
And Garrett shows him why Hawkes always have to travel. Why it’s better to be cold before getting warm. Why feathers are fashionable but fur is preferable–especially in a snowstorm.
Why he left Ferelden in the first place. (Why they’ve both dreamed of going back.) Why the dog should really spend the night in their bedroll–the same reason why extra body heat trumps mabari drool every time.
Why home and hearth are where the heart is. Why anything’s better than Darktown.
Why a man keeps moving. Why what they look forward to is just as unbelievable as what they’ve left behind.
Why regret makes for tender kisses. Why laughter makes for deeper ones.
Why he should have brought an extra pair of woolen socks, even if they were itchy. And why they’ll always have a horizon together. Why loneliness doesn’t matter as much as it used to, not when a cheeky champion has a hand on your arse.
Garrett shows him the stars in the sky. ‘They look like snowflakes, don’t they?’ he says.
And why they aren’t. Why it’s all right to love them even if they are big, burning balls of whatever-it-is, too far away to reach.
Why he can’t pluck them down if Anders asks. Why he wouldn’t even try.
