Ouch.
[But Matt selflessly nudges the bacon over to Tony. He's earned that last piece of bacon. Probably.]

Living might not be the best word to use.
[It's a joke. Mostly. Matt's smart enough with money to keep the essentials going. But beyond that, it's a pretty bare life.]

You take paperwork with you into the woods at 0500.
[He sounds a bit skeptical about that, not that he'd put it past her, really. Maybe she does do paperwork in the woods at 0500. He can't exactly judge. They all have weird habits.
Is she inviting him into the woods to do paperwork at 0500? If he picks up on that, he doesn't show it. Then again, it's hard to read much of anything when all anyone can really see is the tops of his eyebrows and the way they pinch together.]

At least you're finally learning something correct, that goat thing has nothing to do with me.
But you're my favorite bar hopper to go with! :/
....WHERE is it you work again?

I wish for much the same; I still feel like there was more I could have done to shoulder some of the burden. He was a good man with honest ideals and he put his entire life into making the world a better place. I'm sure he would've liked that very much, Genji.
[ It feels queer to speak of someone who is still among the living in the past tense, but she's long-since rationalized speaking of him in this way by acknowledging that a part of him had died those six long years ago. He's still Jack, and always will be, but there was more than an empty casket buried that day. ]
I'm glad to know I'm not alone in feeling that way. If we can all come together from all corners of the Earth, there's no reason others can't. You always know what to say, old friend.

Would you like a day in the life at the medbay? If I weren't leaving the base with my reports, they would never be touched. I don't often have a quiet five minutes. If it isn't one thing it'll be another, and people barrel through my doors all day and all night.
[ She's turning a Look on him. Fight her and tell her she's wrong, #1 Culprit. The way she leans into him and stays there is plenty to communicate that she doesn't mind. Better treated than untreated. Better alive than dead. ]

You give him too much credit!
[ More of that tacked-on exasperation (as if Hawke himself isn't the one most responsible for the dog's spoiled, lazy attitude around the house).
Once he's rifling through the cabinet, though, it's pretend not to be as pleased as he is with the night's considerable improvement - especially with Fenris standing so close. That's nice enough, in fact, that he feigns a real interest in the assortment of bottles in front of him, examining labels well after he's simply bypassed the one he plans to pop open and take a swig from, eventually. ]
Oh, just the usual swill. Though there's plenty of wine in the cellar, if you'd prefer.

would you rather be a loser that works at a kids pizzeria who doesn't have a friend that would go bar hopping with you in the blink of an eye?
my apologies then. Shall I bring you something to eat when six rings?
I always prefer wine, but I'll have whatever you are having.
[As evidence by the fact that he doesn't move at all when hawke mentions the rather nice cellar beneath the house. It is one of Fenris's favorite rooms in the Hawke estate]
You know you can afford better alcohol, right Hawke?

Yeah, you didn't.
And why are you giving me those judgey emoticons anyway??

Like I said, there's plenty in the cellar.
[ Hawke grins, shrugging, as he pulls down the bottle of cheap whiskey he's really had his eye on (not all that much better than what they serve at the Hanged Man, but at least it's not as questionably sanitary, too). The cellar holds the kind of pricey liquor his mother likes to have served at her high society dinners and proper parties. ...And, once in a while, Hawke does dip into that reserve - often when he's planned ahead to have Fenris (or any number of their other friends) over.
But the kitchen cabinet is strictly for late-night drunk drinking. He just happens to have company for it, this time. ]
Don't be so picky. I'm trying to show my undying gratitude, here. [ With shitty whiskey and bad jokes, but. Fenris knew what he was getting into. ]

Well, ping me if you get really bored, or you get really hungry. Or, you know, BOTH.
I don't know, Tony. I'm not sure this is really the life for me. This is all a bit more ... Global than I think I'm ready for.
Because it shows a very good looking man in his pressed clothes receiving an award. This man is also the person I spend my nights with. I'd say I have very good tastes.
I don't think I'd be so good at your job, Doc.
[Please don't invite him. He picks up what she's putting down with that Look, and almost pulls away.]
Not that bad a patient, am I?
[He likes to think he's pretty good, considering. Something that got instilled him in the military.]

I have a feeling this is not quite the occation for your mother's good wine.
[He takes the whiskey out of Hawke's hand and looks it over. Cheap, but not bottom shelf. It would be harsh going down without being mixed with something, but he'd had worse.]
Yes, undying gratitude is best shown with bad alcohol. I'm sure your roommates in the drunk tank would very much agree.
[Nevertheless he sets the botten down and fishes out two glasses. It is probably a sign that he's been here too much that he knows exactly where all the dishes are to be found.]

You would be rough, but maybe that's the sort of lesson people need to stop being so reckless. You should consider a few shifts.
[ Aren't you glad she's only teasing? To his follow-up, though, she only smiles sadly. ]
You're too good of a patient. I do wish you wouldn't be so reckless. Should I be rougher in my treatment to deter you?
