TONY LAUGHS AT HER JOKES that's already a plus, not to mention he's another mage, and not a crazy one. It was interesting talking to him about his world, even if she's a bit shocked by what he tells her about the prejudice there, so I'm definitely hoping to jump him again \o/
SOBBING THIS SECOND PART TOOK ME FOREVER BECAUSE I’M LAME (and I'm totally going to be even more lame and ask you to tl;dr on this relationship back to me )
lol rivalmance. Hawke has a penchant for attracting trouble, so she has this thing about testing her luck, leaping into challenges and going by what her intuition tells her. That’s why she’s attracted to Fenris; he’s prejudiced against mages, he shows her a side of magic that she’s not familiar with, he challenges her views and keeps her grounded that not all mages are infallible. Yet there are times where they can actually talk and he’d laugh at her dumb jokes and despite how he had Anso lie to use her as bait for the slavers the first time they met, he’s been honest to her ever since, so she can respect his opinions, and tries to understand him, even though she might not always agree. In turn, she also wants to work to try to get him to at least understand her side, even if he won’t change his opinion.
When they slept together and he runs off, she can sort of understand why, but it still hurt, so she tried to rebound on Anders, but failed at that, because there are lingering feelings, and he kept giving mixed messages by wearing her favor. Fenris also never truly left and still stayed in Kirkwall to help Hawke despite whatever awkwardness between them. Then when All the Remains happened, he comes to comfort her in that awkward way of his, so she realizes that he does care, and she decided that she will wait for him to get his shit together and thus began the start of the UST, so obvious even Merrill noticed. Which, he eventually did, and the fact that he was willing to go against his beliefs to side with her in that final conflict, and become a fugitive again with her, touched her more than anything.
Like she’s told him in that one thread, she has no idea what she’s doing or where they’re going to end up, but she likes being with him and she’s glad that he stuck by her side. She loves him and she thinks that he loves her too but she’s hesitant about voicing that out because she doesn’t want to spook him away again, since the first time she said she cared about him, he still ran off. Technically Hawke’s forgiven him a long time ago for dumping her after the first time they did the dirty tango, but… well, she likes flirting, and making him jealous not only fits in to her wanting to tease him for a while longer, it also leads to possible fun make up antics. :p
tl;dr Hawke loves the tsundere elf. She’s willing to accept him as he is, and even if he doesn’t trust any other mages, she wants him to at least trust her and accept her as she is.
