[jeez, Hawke. so far it sounds like your life has sucked a lot.

Yosuke sucks his teeth and tries to keep the awkward at a minimum.]

...if you don't want to be here either, I can try to dream us somewhere else. If you can do it, I can.

[but if he does want to stay, Yosuke is going to have one suggestion: tavern. something smells awesome and the food they were given in their backpacks is just sort of okay.]

[iwannabeadragon]

[The whole reason he never speaks of it to anyone who doesn't already know. It's hard to convince people that he's alright when people know what's happened to him.]

There's something I want to test first, come on.

[Hawke motions his hand for Yosuke to follow him as he heads toward the tavern. It seems that Hawke has the same thing on his mind as Yosuke does.]

[goodanswer]

Sure.

[Yosuke won't have any objection to whatever he wants to do. It's his dream, after all - and after a scare like the one they just had, he's happy to oblige the old man in whatever might comfort him.]

[iwannabeadragon]

[As Hawke passes through the village he keeps his head down low, making an effort not to look anyone in the eye. In a small village like this there's not a person he can't recognize. Hawke only hopes they don't recognize him.

When they enter the bar it's just as he remembers it, which only makes sense he supposes. To their right is the bar with a door leading into the kitchen behind it. A fireplace sits to their left and lanterns hang from the ceiling . It's simple but cozy and the only tavern available to the people here.

Hawke looks down at his hand and concentrates. Sure enough, a coin bag appears in his hand and he knows it's full of gold sovereigns. He made it after all. Then he hands the bag to Yosuke.]

Here, get whatever you want. I'm going to get a table.

[Hawke wants to know if Yosuke can interact with this world as much as he can. He also wouldn't mind knowing if eating 'dream food' will actually fill them.]

[goodanswer]

[Yosuke really has no idea whether he can interact with this world - it is Hawke's dream after all, not his own. That bag is probably full of money, right? Judging from what he said. Maybe if he sort of... concentrated, or tried to dream the same thing, sort of, he could take it.

When he reaches out, he does in fact feet the fabric of the bag on the tips of his fingers as he touches it. To his surprise, he's able to take the bag from his hand easily.]

...man. That's amazing.

[A part of him almost wonders why people wouldn't want to just stay in this place forever. But only almost. Considering the possibility of nightmares... it's not necessarily the best idea. Well, whatever - he walks off with a grin on his face, leaving Hawke behind. Hell yeah, it's totally time to booze it up in the dream world!]

[iwannabeadragon]

[While Yosuke gets whatever he wants Hawke finds a table towards the back of the tavern. So far, no one seems to recognize him. Is this another event in his life springing up or is he just back in Lothering because he wanted to be? If it's the former than he doesn't recall this memory.

For now he sits quietly at the table and reaches back to lift the hood on his armor. There aren't many times he wants to hide his face but right now this is one of them.]

[goodanswer]

[A few minutes later, the coin bag suddenly splats loosely back onto the table before Hawke. From the opening spills coins, all right - but they aren't going to be coins Hawk recognizes. It's Japanese yen, with holes in the center of the 5-yen pieces and everything.

Yosuke himself is there, too, and he's got a very defeated look on his face.]

........A barmaid threw a cup at me for paying with "fake money."

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke looks down at the coins on the table, looking confused. He knows that's not the money he gave Yosuke. In fact that doesn't look like any kind of money he's ever seen in Thedas.]

Huh, that answers some questions.

[He looks back at Yoskue and smirks.]

Stay put, I'll be back.

[Hawke stands and pats Yosuke on the shoulder as he moves past the teenager towards the bar. Only a few moments pass before he returns with a few mugs and a bowl of thick beef stew. He lays them out on the table before taking a seat.]

There, eat up.

[Meanwhile, Hawke will be pulling some of his rations out of his pack.]

[goodanswer]

[You can practically see the defeated slump oozing off Yosuke as he takes a seat at the table to wait for Hawke to return. Thankfully, when he does a very minutes later, he's perked up a bit and is busying himself with investigating the contents of his own pack, so he doesn't immediately look up when Hawke is standing there again.

But the food sure gets his attention.]

Is that a beer stein? [omg. you're officially the coolest, wrpg!dad.]

[iwannabeadragon]

[He knows.]

Mead actually.

[Lothering might be small but it has its luxuries. This just happens to be one of his favorites. Hawke takes a testing sip from the stein and to his surprise he actually tastes it. When he swallows he feels it fill his stomach. Is this real though or all in his head? Would he get drunk doing this? Man he wishes he could figure any of this out.]

You going to drink that or just let it sit?

[goodanswer]

[....what the hell is mead? Is that like beer?

Whatever, WHO CARES. Yosuke pulls the mug over to himself with both hands, like a kid pulling a sippy cup towards him in a high chair. The mug is made of stone maybe, or heavy clay - how is anyone supposed to drink out of this comfortably? - but after he manages to pick it up, he tips it back and takes an enormous sip.

Huh, tastes like beer to him. But he also has no idea what mead tastes like - so maybe it's sort of like the coin bag being filled with yen.]

......oh, man. That's good. I don't understand how this is happening right now, but it's good.

[iwannabeadragon]

[Maybe Hawke should caution Yosuke to take it easy. The last thing either of them need is to get drunk in a place like this. That is, if they can even get drunk here in the first place.]

At least this didn't change into, I don't know, a glass of milk when you touched it.

[He could go over all the reasons why the money changed when he handed it to Yosuke but it would be little more than random guessing. Plus it would just end up making his head hurt. Instead he takes another sip and finishes the food he pulled from his bag.]

Take it it slow. Somehow I imagine getting a hangover here would go badly.
