[ Dinner is nice. Hawke is...more animated, more engaged than she's seen in weeks. She's not sure why the mood has shifted but she doesn't question or complain about it, not when she's glad he's just here with her. Wuffles seems to have noticed in that way he notices everything, and Ava's caught the dog just looking back and forth between her and Hawke with a pleased, stupid grin on his face like big bullies do.
When it's all done, Hawke cleans up, and she does the same, wiping down the coffee table. Wuffles takes up residence on her legs and she rubs him gently until Hawke joins them. When he reaches for her knee, she leans against him, her head almost on his shoulder. ]
It's good to see you smile.
[ It's said very gently, congenially, because Hawke always tries to put on a good mood for her. This feels very genuine. ]
