[ Chris asks about him and it takes Hawke a moment to reply. Outside of Anders, its somewhat rare for anyone to ask after his well being. ]
I'm well as can be expected. Or actually Better than can be expected considering where we are. I have things well handled for now at least.
[ He stares at the phone for a moment, actually taking a moment to take stock now that he's thinking about it. Ostensibly, he is fine. He has his health, he's finding a rhythm not just with Anders in this new situation but with Alaric too, a new joy found in the darkest of places. He has friends, people he knows he wouldn't have met if he'd never been pulled here. Good and trustworthy people. And yet...
There's still so much he's frustrated by and angry about. There are things he wants to find out and fight against. Rail against the city. He feels stagnant even as he keeps moving, talking to people and learning things, figuring things out. It has to be a careful process, especially so for how Anders had reacted to the punishment he'd received for the same. He wonders if it's a subject he can brooch any time soon, but he doesn't want to cause any more stress than there already is. He wants to be a safe haven, not another source of worry.
And he doesn't feel he can put any of that into text. ]
