I. WELCOME CENTER
After his announcement of the welcome center, Jack was pleased to find that visitors to it picked up considerably as did the number of volunteers who offered to help out. In fact more people than he had expected had agreed to lend their time and aid and Jack was currently sitting on the floor in front of the desk, legs folded up under him and back against the wooden front. A spreadsheet was in front of him and he chewed absently on the end of his pencil, trying to redo the schedule to give everyone some time and on a separate piece of paper was some jotted notes about finances. He was running the costs of the Welcome Center out of pocket while for the most part, the fishing shop generally broke even for paying his employees and necessary supplies.

He was all right with math but he'd been staring at this for a little while and rubbed his eyes, stretching his arms over his head. "Hey Baby Tooth," he said, twisting his head to locate the fairy. "You hungry? Seems like a good time for lunch."

II. PLAYTIME
Even with how busy things got, Jack always made time in the afternoons to stop by some of the playgrounds and hang out with the kedan children. They talked about what they were learning in school, how amazed they were to watch the turtle hatchlings trundling their happy selves all around the city. How they had learned how to shift their forms in a new way and proceed to show it off, for which Jack was always effusive with his praise and admiration. They'd practice alternations that increased their resistance to the cold so that they could romp around in the snow longer, the novelty of their first real winter having not yet worn off for them as it had for many of the adults.

Most of the time he'd just sit with them, enjoy their company and they his. When they got tired from their play, Jack would scoop them up and deliver them snugly to their homes and so it was not unusual to see the spirit carrying one of them around sundown through the various Sectors.

"More quests than I could count, more treasure than you can imagine, and at least a few damsels that needed saving," Hawke lists with a smirk. He really wishes he could introduce Varric to Jack right now. The two of them would love each other. For now Hawke will tell Jack what he can and leave the more horrifying bits out. There are some stories that Hawke doesn't want anyone to know.

"A bit of political intrigue dashed in there too."

"Don't worry, I'm about as interested in is as they are. It was just another long mess that I managed to get myself roped into." Hawke grins and gives a shrug of his shoulders. "I suppose I can just skip that bit and get to the part where I killed a wyvern."

"Smaller and with a mouth full of poison. They can't fly either," Hawke answers. He's only seen one but he got intimately close with the beast and its teeth.

"That could be a problem," Hawke says as he strokes his beard. He's only met one of them but he rather not the people here turn on them because of him. They're talking dragons after all and that's just cool.

"My stories may need a bit of editing then."

"Hard to say no when you're using kids against me," Hawke says with a smile and shrug. "Plus I hear being able to afford food is a good thing so I might want to get on that."

He's still got enough to get him the essentials for a time but that won't last forever.

Hawke's expression doesn't change but that idea just doesn't sit well with him. "Trust me, I appreciate the work but handouts aren't a thing I'm after. I'm supposed to be a hero after all. There's a certain look I'm supposed to have."

Hawke chuckles and flashes Jack a playful grin. "Alright, I'll remember that when my dog gets here. He always goes through three or four buckets full of food." Because if Hawke is going to be here for any extended period of time he's going get his dog.

Hawke will remain eternally optimistic, at least when it comes to his dog. With everything else he's very much a realist, some would even call him cynical. However this is a subject he refuses to think otherwise about.

"Sounds like a plan. I'll just start at the beginning and work my way from there."
