Really, it was a good thing that dog was so cute, or Hawke would honestly despair of him. She gave him a scratch behind the ears and sent him off to hopefully avoid crashing into anything else before opening the door. "Aveline. Please don't tell me you're here to arrest me."
She wasn't being serious, of course. Who'd want to arrest her? Especially since she was so careful not to do more dubiously-legal things when there were potential witnesses.
