“This is in first person…” she whispered sadly as she clicked the back button on a fanfiction with a great summary.
Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.
Sometimes being an adult is basically like being both a very young child and that child’s parent simultaneously. Like “Okay, if you go buy toilet paper you can get ONE TREAT.”
In DAI Hawke says “Fenris would have killed himself to protect me. I didn’t want to give him that chance.”
You say that now Hawke, but let’s be real, that boy is already after you, he is going to burst into Skyhold with a sword on his back, a glower on his face, yelling “HAWKE WHAT PART OF I’M COMING WITH YOU DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND”
To which either:
-Hawke realizes how terrifying their elf boyfriend/husband is, Fenris look there was Red lyrium, it wasn’t safe, there are people watching
-Fenris is met with silence and a Varric looking at him horrified as he says “you didn’t get my letter” and Fenris’ world shatters.
