"A nexus! A dimension of world-colliders! But essentially, yes. A mirror."

Anya looks around in fascination. But mostly at the mirror.

"Do you get us sort of visitors a lot?!"

"Rarely. There has to be a certain set of circumstances. A certain bits of calling, in each soul. You two were in perfect alignment to come here."

"So you didn't call us here?"

A deep, gravelly laugh. "If I had that power, I would draw forth more than just two tourists, however knowledgeable you may be."

"Tourists. Is that what this is? Some sort of weird extra dimensional tourism thing?"

"If you would like it to be. You could be conquerors too. Or merchants."

Yikes. "How about we do some good instead? Use our knowledge to help people and all that sort of higher calling stuff. What time period is this?"

"Nine thirty-two. Dragon. You will find Hawke already settled, his mercenary time over. Perhaps you may run into him."

"Ew, dude Hawke?"

Anya bumps Tabs with her hip lightly.

"Is he one of our Hawkes, or does the universe have it's own?"

"The nexus decided on it. Apparently, there had to be an obstacle for...certain things."

"...do you mean the romances? Because weren't they all...bisexual?"

"There is a tendency, in the nexus, for certain constants. There was one, that aligned with both of your interests, and the nexus chose this. I would say flowers to be an appropriate thank you."

"Gee, can you vague that up for me?"

"Probably. I am not known for my clarity." 

"So we go in, find Hawke...then, what? Stop the qunari attacking?"

"Plus maybe prevent the whole Anders-Blowing-Up-The-Chantry? And Meredith's descent into madness... which probably involves scooping the red lyrium thing."

"Or we could just...kill Meredith?"

"...I super don't wanna murder or kill anyone?"

"Okay, well, murdering Meredith and such notwithstanding, we might not get a choice on the whole not-killing-people thing. At least, not when it comes to self-defence."

"I hate that for us."

"Yeah, it's...not great. But we had to pick fighting classes for a reason, as sucky as that reason is."

"I'm hoping that I can just zap people as a distraction, and buff and heal everyone else. Which isn't great morally. Since, like, it still leads to people dying. But yeah. Probably we won't have much choice."

Tabs nudges her. "Hey. Combat wasn't everything. We'll get to explore too! Though you are not getting me in any damn caves."
