Anders lay sleeping on the bed he and Hawke shared. It was about 11 AM, and he should be up, but he was exhausted from healing the sick in his clinic. Thankfully, someone else was helping. But now Anders was fully rested and got up. First, he made the bed, trying to make it as neat as possible. It bothered him that his boyfriend’s mabari kept shedding his fur.
Once finished, he headed downstairs to the library. He noticed a bunch of books stacked on one of the desks. All the books seemed to be related to cats. One of them was a large book about how to train mabaris to get along with cats.
No, Hawke wouldn’t, he thought.
Anders heard the door open along with Hawke’s dog barking.
“Calm down, Duke,” Hawke said, speaking to his dog.
In his arms, he held a calico cat. He placed it down. Duke went up to sniff the cat, but it hissed in response. The mabari cowered.
“I trained Duke to get used to cats, but Cleo here doesn’t like dogs,” Hawke commented.
A smile grew on the mage’s face. “You got us a cat?” Anders spoke.
“Anything for you, dear.”
