Hawke was cross.

The dreams had alternated every night; fight the man with the horns, watch the hippie blow up the Church. In the dreams, she talked in a vague accent and while most the words sounded English, they had meanings that she clearly didn’t understand in her waking hours. And then there were words that were entirely not English, but were fraught with things like portent and danger.

It was giving her a headache.

Then there was the Fenris angle. The stupid, irritating Fenris angle. Every other week he went with her to the wholesalers to pick up specialty liquors she couldn’t get without a ridiculous upcharge from the distributor. They’d snipe, irritate and cajole, but this week she was legitimately cranky.

In the dreams she loved him. It was absolutely horrifying.

Scowling, she tried to reach one of the top shelf scotches. She wasn’t a short woman, but this was just far too high to put up something glass.

She wondered that almost daily, actually.

"Laugh all you want. I mean, you're going to anyway." They were at the check out now, and Hawke paid and grabbed her share of the bags. They'd taken her SUV, since obviously there was enough room for all of the drinks it took to keep a reasonable part of Southern California drunk.

"And you're probably right," she said finally, opening up the back of the Escalade. "It's just..."

Laying on the floor of the car was the armor she had been wearing in her dream about the church. She stopped dead, all color draining from her face. In another woman, you might be worried about her fainting.

She was now carting around medieval-esque armour in her SUV? True, she'd probably put stranger things in there since Fenris had started working for her, but it was honestly starting to push it, especially so soon after talking about insane dreams.

"Something from your dream, I assume?" You could say what you would about him, he knew how to add two and two together sometimes. "This is all part of some vast conspiracy, isn't it?"

It made more sense than the alternative.

	Hawke just stood staring at the armor, for a second unaware of anything but it's absolute corporeality. It wasn't possible. Yet here it was. "In the dreams, we love each other." She didn't know why she said it. It just tumbled out. "So clearly, this is one big stupid joke." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fenris arched an eyebrow. Him? In love with someone like Hawke? Cosmic joke of the century, bravo, everyone can go home. True, the woman wasn't exactly unattractive, but the sheer idiocy of some of her actions was enough to put anyone off. "Perhaps it's to do with your siblings. They seem to be spending an awful lot of time skulking around your club." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They couldn't manage the dreams, she immediately replied, thankfully only in her head. Hawke was getting a headache. "Whatever. It's all just clearly a gag." Had she told anyone about the armor? Did it matter? "Let's get these back to the club. The new boys will be there in a few hours." She was back to scowling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With her back to scowling, it was almost like nothing had changed. True, he now half-expected her to throw fire at someone if they annoyed her, but that was a little besides the point. "As long as we get there before the 'comedian' tries anything." Last time he'd arrived late with one of those on, the end result had been less than pretty. (Reply to this) (Parent)
