But yes, giving Chuckles over there a moment to recover is a better idea than teaming up and teasing him together, so she steps aside, still holding Pearl in her arms.]
Sure. I get the feeling we'll be waiting a while, though.
Oh, don't trouble yourself on my behalf; water is fine.
[Bethany holds up her hands defensively as she speaks.]
Cupcake was my sister's doing, of course. Though she liked to blame Carver for it, as I recall. [a beat] And aren't you the one who named his cat Ser Pounce-a-Lot?

[Though the memory of a mabari (his mabari...kind of) named "Cupcake" actually does wonders for sobering him! Good job, Bethany!]
Cupcake is still a terrible name.
[SUPER SRS OVER HERE SUDDENLY, wow hello mood swing.]
...Although I guess it'd be okay for a ridiculous little dog like Pearl.
[Aaaaand back to something approaching normal!Hawke.]

Do horrible names just run in the family?
[Says the one basing names on puns, and giving terrible nicknames to dogs. Buuut time to check the fridge, which isn't all that well-stocked yet.]
We've got milk. And water. And beer, too, and I imagine he's hidden some wine around here somewhere. Though I could make some tea or coffee.

no subject
[Because it's supposed to be kept "cool", not cold.]
There's nothing wrong with the name "Champion". And Pearl is a nice name.
[Dog names are srs bsns, yo.]
no subject
[because Hawke needs alcohol to bribe his friends to come over.]
I still think Joan of Bark would have been a better name.
no subject
[She's pretty sure her recent habit of going drinking after tragic events is kinda unhealthy.]
Champion isn't very creative. Pearl is nice... when you aren't taking it from a brothel. [wrinkling her nose now] And Joan of Bark is terrible.
no subject
[Uh. You would, Hawke.]
[Also, is Anders getting that water for Bethany, or should Hawke?]
no subject
Joan of Bark would have suited her.
no subject
I suppose it's better than Ser Pounce-a-Lot.

[Hawke's just...not going to say anything. He kind of wants to see where this will go.]

And I'm a perfectly passable healer. [H-Huff. No she's not.]
no subject
[Gosh, Anders, he knows his healing spells aren't great but at least they're something!]
no subject
[Does he sound proud? That would be because he is.]
I sometimes wondered if perhaps he'd attracted a spirit.
