Varric and his brother finish their discussion/argument, and start gathering the rest of the expedition together.

Anders nods and falls into step beside Hawke, looking over his shoulder to watch Cia and Ilska.

They look a little lost, Ilska's arm looped around Cia's shoulders, Cia pressed into eir sister's side.

"We'll get you back to them," Henri promises. "By hook or by crook. Me and Tal have your back."

"Yes," Anders says simply. 

"All right, let's start moving out!" Bartrand calls. 

Varric heads over to Hawke. "Ready to earn your fame and fortune?"

"As we'll ever be," Talia confirms with a firm nod.

"Then let's go find out what the Deep Roads has in store." Varric leads the way, just behind his brother.

The Hawkes set out, their paces matched evenly with each other - long practice clearly apparent.

Anders follows behind, casting one last look at his kids, before turning away, feeling that he's left a part of himself behind.

"He better come back," Cia mutters quietly to Ilska.

"We'll make them pay if he doesn't."
