[so some time after the lobster attack and after checking up making fun of Fenris, Isabela's going to be straightforwardly meandering towards a specific set of rooms. And if that room conveniently happens to be Hawke's or if she happens to find her on the way, what of it? You can't prove anything.

So she hesitates as she comes to the blank nameplate. The handle turns easily at her touch, no need to pick the lock. And the room is as barren as ever, except for the default castle furniture.

Flipping open her journal.]

Looks like Hawke managed to escape the castle. Either that or the lobsters ate her. I'm hoping for the former, but you can't ever be too sure. Those lobsters were sneaky little buggers.

Speaking of which, where did they even come from? Don't tell me somebody was keeping them as pets. Because honestly, you could have gotten a nice dog or a cat or a parrot or even a carp. Ugly demon-possessed poisonous lobsters of death? No. Unless you're a mage. Then you might have an excuse, I suppose.

[frivolous words, but whatever. And she can be found a bit later, parked in her usual spot at the bar on the second floor.]
