"I still don't know," she said, glancing at the bodies. "And I'd rather not poke around in their belongings to find out." Beyond necessary pilfering, there was something to be said for respecting the dead. She didn't need the coin and this wasn't a contract job. Had it been, she would have waited longer to look over what they had. Perhaps she'd speak to Aveline about it anyway and leave Cullen's name out. At worst, she'd give Hawke a look but would help her. It'd probably be a better idea in the long run.
She looked him over once and then nodded, grabbing up the basket to help him with its weight. "At least we can say it's been an exciting night," she said, tone flippant, the look on her face saying that otherwise. She could have done without fighting for her life but...well, wasn't that old hat by now for her?
"The Rose?" It didn't seem practical at first, just another stop on the way...but he provided a sound argument and she didn't have any good reason to protest it. It was on the way, after all, and he was right; she wouldn't gossip about the two of them wandering in. After a moment, she nodded her assent. "Good idea. It'll give us the chance to catch our breaths too." It was early enough yet that it'd probably be somewhat quiet, less chance of being spotted...
Oh. She tugged the edge of her lip between her teeth. No, she supposed it was early enough that she wouldn't be running into her uncle. "Just keep on the lookout for Gamlen when we get there. I'm sure he's home by now but you never know."
