[Hawke comes shuffling into the lounge with a blanket around her shoulders and still in her pajamas (an oversized shirt and boxers). She does look under the weather but certainly nothing more than a bad head cold despite early dramatics.

She drops down onto the couch next to Nate with a yawn drops a box of tissues between them.]

I still don't understand this picture box.

[Close but not too close, Hawke. Don't get him sick.]

No one really does except the people who make this kind of thing. Most people don't know how it actually works.

[The DVD is already in the player, and he tosses her the box.]

I hope you like history as it pertains to a world you've never been to.

[Shhh adore her, germs and all. Hawke catches the box with a sniffle and curiously turns it over in her hands. How do so many pictures and sounds get stored in this?]

And you think magic is strange.

[She leans back and settles against the couch.]

So this is Elena's job. To be in the picture box and talk about history?

[Magic is strange, but so is TV. It's fair.]

It used to be. Educational and informative.

[After some navigating, he picks out episode three of the season.]

This is the episode I watched that convinced me to con her producers into paying for our expedition.

Is it because you thought she was attractive and you wanted to spend time with her? Or perhaps that was just one of the perks.

[It's a jab but honestly... even Hawke would think that was pretty cute.]

I thought she was cute, but I honestly had no plans of trying to sleep with her.

[Which would have been all he was looking for at the time. Lifetime commitment, what's that?]

I just wanted someone else to pick up the bill. Do you have any idea how expensive undersea expeditions are?

[Hawke sneezes into a tissue and blows her nose before continuing, as seriously as one can sound with a head cold-]

I happen to be an expert in undersea expedition expenses.

I'm not talking about going down on your girlfriend in a pool.

[Not that expertise in that wouldn't be impressive.]

It was more like a very large bathtub if you take dimensions into account.

Yeah, still.

Oh, alright perhaps it's a bit different.

[She sniffs like Nathan just insulted her deeply. But instead of being sassy it just sounds kind of pathetic.]

In any case, unless you know how to retrieve coffins from said sea, your skills probably wouldn't have been applicable.

[She collapses dramatically against the back of the couch.]

Someone who didn't need my help? I can't even imagine.

That happens a lot, people coming to you for help?

Oh yes. It's always "Hawke, can you go gather some herbs on this mountain side? Hawke, can you save my son on the run from templars? Hawke, can you catch a golden nug, milk it, and make a stew out of the milk."

Hawke this, Hawke that.

Riiiight. What makes you the go-to person? Don't get me wrong, you're capable, but you don't really give off an air of wanting to get things done for random people.

Questions I ask myself all the time.

[He laughs.]

Well, I don't want you to do anything but sit here with me and tell me how great my wife's show was.
