I'm supposed to introduce myself, aren't I? Especially since we're getting all in each other's personal space. It does make sense to call someone you have your arm around something other than "hey you". I always forget these sort of things. At least my excuse is that I was literally raised in the woods.

[She shifts and offers the hand of the arm that isn't around Pepper's waist.]

Hawke.
