ROSALIND HAWKE, VISCOUNTESS OF KIRKWALL
What Hawke did in Kirkwall sparked something in the Templar Order. This was the Champion who beat back the Qunari invasion, who killed the Arishok. She was powerful, influential, devout. Her word counted for much. She had even been sympathetic to us, protected her apostate sister fiercely. But it is common knowledge thanks to the Tale of the Champion that something changed in Hawke the night her mother died. She went mad with grief. And when the templars believed the mages had gone too far, Hawke agreed. It was vindication. Ask yourselves: why look for Hawke? What good would the Champion's presence be?

Alright part two here we go, I'm gonna grab a snippet from Getaway again (this time much more distant! :D)
Some distant nagging voice of Monokuma taunted her that the Despair Disease was transmitted by touch, but she shooed it away.

As Aster roamed the forest, going along his normal path, he was suddenly hit with the knowledge that he was not alone. Footsteps too heavy to be an animal and too clumsy to be anything but a human were coming his way. Footsteps that, as a Hunt avatar might notice, sounded unsure. Uneven. Leaves crunched underfoot, but the steps were slow.
Rosalind’s perspective was much the opposite. She’d walked through the forest for many miles, finding it easier to maneuver than the streets. Homeless, scared, but much more at peace in the nature, Rosalind barely noticed the sound of Aster’s footfall in the forest until they were a noticeable silhouette in the distance. Rosalind went very still very quickly.

Aster was enjoying his walk as much as he would've any other day, tired from the long, continuous strain of being out and about since sunrise, but enjoying the ache in his muscles. Something about the slight burn, the protest of his bones was soothing to him. Perhaps it simply reminded him that he was alive.
When out of place footfalls sounded, he listened in closely. Distant at first, much farther away than any human would hear, he heard them. Uneven, clumsy. Two feet, he registered. Two feet that did not know their way around these parts.
He hesitates, slowing his own steps to a halt as he patiently awaited the others next move. When he heard her stop, he turned just enough to look over his shoulder, body turned to the side to face Rosalind as they stood at the far horizon of his view. He stared, eyes barely visible through the thickness of his brown curls that fell into his face though notably of a rather light color. Perhaps a very light brown? No, if one payed close attention, they would recognize his eyes to be a pale yellow.
Aster wasn't wearing any hiking gear, despite how far out he was, instead found in a much too big, beige shirt with wide sleeves and black cargo shorts underneath. Only his footwear looked truly appropriate for the area the two had found eachother in, feet being hidden beneath a pair of white socks and brown/black hiking boots that were most likely waterproof and sturdy.
He stared on for what must've been easily more than two minutes, before properly turning around and giving a light wave. He was rather tall, sure, but quite scrawny looking and not all that intimidating. Perhaps he didn't want to be. He started moving again, this time towards Rosalind, approaching slowly. Curiosity is shining in his eyes, though beyond that one can see very little of what else he might be feeling.
