[It isn't Marian that hears the visitor, it's Peaches. The beloved old mabari finds her footing and patters out to the source of the noise. Body tense and ready, while her master sleeps sprawled out, completely slumped from a night in Lowtown's best establishment. Whatever had been in the Qunari liquor had been good, good enough to put Marian out as soon as she was able to get herself in her room.

It's when Peaches begins bristling and barking up a storm that Marian wakes up, stumbling for her staff and bustling downstairs. Sure she lives in Hightown, but Lowtown habits die hard. The scene she stumbles upon though takes about three times the processing that she has available. A man--wearing god knows what--with a glowing blade (Was the buzzing sound necessary?) and Peaches just giving him a piece of her mind.

She opens her mouth and nothing comes out, closes her mouth, and opens again this time words finding her usually much sharper tongue.]

A friend at this hour? And a mage at that? I thought Wintersend was over and yet someone has brought me gift.

[She leans on her staff, being vertical is proving to be a lot harder than she had initially intended it to be.]

That is some very noisy magical blade you have there, but why don't we just...call this a night. I give you some gold pieces and we go our separate ways. Unless you're here to kill me which I guess that wouldn't be much of a gift anymore.

he loves you

Stay back!

[He says to the beast as it corners him. He can hear Obi-Wan in the back of his head, scolding him for never developing that area of his Force abilities. Truthfully, Anakin thinks of connecting as mostly pointless, especially with a war going on. But would it be nice to be able to properly connect now? Absolutely. Will he admit it? Never.

But when a woman emerges, his attention switches to her. Is this... is he in some random woman's house? Or is this some kind of test?]

I'm not here to kill you. Or to- I... never mind. [Anakin sighs, not sure how to explain the situation without sounding crazy.] My name is Anakin Skywalker. I am a Jedi Knight, [his eyes glance to his lightsaber to say, hey, not a magical blade.] and a general in the Grand Army of the Republic. Who are you? And what is this place?

are you high magic sword guy

[malefiicar]

Peaches, that's enough darling.

[ She whistles and Peaches skeptically plops down to her side, still eyeing Anakin carefully. Marian listens, at least partially, but she's not sure what to make of the words coming out of his mouth. General? Republic? What kind of name was Anakin Skywalker? Jedi Knight, oh gods don't tell her he was a templar?

Her face screws and she holds her staff a little tighter, finally straightening her back.]

Anakin, I'm Hawke. Marian Hawke, and I must say I have little to no idea what you're saying you're a part of. There's no Republic and unless the Templars have started some god awful new regime I have no idea what in the world a Jedi is. [ She tilts her head, really what was this guy prattling on about. He doesn't even remember getting into her house?]

You're in my house you wild man, we're in Hightown. Have you taken some bad herb or lyrium? That dwarf, Barclay can't be trusted to get anything good if you got it from him. [Marian please stop prattling on, nobody cares.]

it's death sticks

[sandboy]

[At least the hound's been called off. He allows his form to relax slightly, or rather he forces it to so that he won't appear as that much of a threat. He's still on edge, of course, and his lightsaber's still drawn.]

I'm afraid I'm in a similar situation. But I assure you my mind is clear and I am telling the truth.

[Part of him wants to know how she can possibly not know about the Jedi, about the Republic. Even growing up in the Outer Rim, he heard stories of the Jedi's exploits.]

Where's the nearest spaceport? The sooner I can get a ship to Coruscant, the sooner I'll be out of your hair.
