"There's, um, a lot of slavers, and pirates out there. Not to mention the qunari. Are you sure you wanna go up there, just you two? I know Hawke or Varric wouldn't mind coming too? Oh, me too!"

"We randomly showed up, invaded your space and butted ourselves into your group... I kinda feel awkward about it all, to be honest. Asking for anything else seems like a dick move?"

"Anya," Merrill says, her whole body going soft. "How do you think the rest of us became friends?"

"....randomly showing up and butting in?" She 'guesses'.

Merrill grins. "Or Hawke showing up and butting in. That's happened too."

"Everyone seems really great. Even with all the disfunction. Matches our own."

Tabs laughs. "To say the least."

"Hawke and the others accept me more than the clan ever did." She rubs her arms. "Oh, I feel terrible about the way I reacted to Hawke, again."

"As someone who also cries at the drop of a hat, honestly? Better out than in."

"Yeah, keeping it all in always leads to badness. Even when it's unpleasant. So long as he apologised and you talked it out?"

"Of course he did. He's a good person. He's just- I know I'm a little different to what he's used to. To what a lot of people- shemlen, are used to."

"You and me both," Tabs says, smiling.

"People are idiots. Can confirm."

Merrill looks like she disagrees, but says nothing. 

"Well. The bed isn't large, but you two should fit?"

She doesn't explain that she was joking and instead moves on a little awkwardly. "Your bed. We can sleep on the ground. Tabs is a comfy pillow."

Merrill shuffles awkwardly. "I, um, mostly sleep on the ground? The bed was a gift from Hawke's mother, I don't think she understands that I lived in an aravel all my life." She laughs a little. "I have- well. It's like a little nest."

"Well. That's adorable and works super well for all of us! Tabs and I will totally fit. She's a snuggler. Well. We both are."

"Can confirm that snuggle is my main state of being. However, I do have to duck out for a while. Will I be disturbing you if I come back in later?"

"Oh! Um, no! I'll just pop myself away from the door, no trouble."

"Question mark."

"First item on the list. Won't take me too long, got a run down from V."

"Do you want me to come along?" Growling at Samson seems like it could need backup...

"Babe, you're tired. You've flopped. Lemme handle this one." Tabs goes up on her toes to press a kiss to Anya's cheek.

Aaaaa. Both of these things are scary. "Be safe. Please."

Tabs waves her amulet around. "You hear screaming, come running. Love you!"
