"He saved us, he didn't summon anything. He wasn't even there when it started." Carver scowls. "And Mother knows where we are and that we're fine. She can have us back as soon as she lets Beth come home."

[Bethany]

Bethany snorts. "Accept a lesbian into her home? Pshh. As if." She glares at Andy, daring him to say something.

[Andy za'Frane]

That... explains kind of a lot about how Missus Hawke was acting. "Well, she does have legal custody of you," he says with a wince. "But if you're claiming she's unfit, you can be placed with a temporary foster family."

[Carver Amell]

"We got somewhere to go," grumbles Carver. "When will you release Varric?"

[Andy za'Frane]

"That's... good but. I can't just take your word for it," Andy says with a frown.

[Carver Amell]

"Tough. When's Varric coming home?"

[Andy za'Frane]

"No, not ''tough' and move on. You're both underaged so the law requires you to looked after."

[Carver Amell]

Carver's hand goes to his belt knife again. "You saying you plan to arrest us, mister?"

[Bethany]

"Carver!" Bethany hisses, smacking his arm. 

[Andy za'Frane]

"Take a second to think about your choices- and the results they'd bring for all involved," Andy says gently.

[Carver Amell]

"I'm not letting you lock Bethany up," he growls. "Not ever."

[Andy za'Frane]

Andy just raises an eyebrow. "Why would I want to arrest her? I don't think I said a word about that happening."

[Bethany]

"Sorry about that sir. It's been a very long... Month and some. Carver's just protective," Bethany says, giving her twin a fond if somewhat exasperated look.

[Carver Amell]

"Well I said a word about it. And you didn't argue." He scowls. "Swear she's not under arrest."

[Andy za'Frane]

"To the best of my knowledge, neither of you are being charged with anything," Andy says evenly. "I swear on the love I feel for my spouses, may Andraste denounce me as false."
