[ it is Late when rondo makes it back to the cabin. he's likely expecting everyone else to be asleep, at this point - he makes his way in quietly, almost in a daze as he opens the door to the room he shares with hawke.
she can see right away that he is a wreck. rondo's face is puffy, tears still streaking down his cheeks, his nose raw and red. he looks awful, and he pauses and leans against the door, eyes closed, taking in a deep breath like he's trying very, very hard to stop himself from crying long enough to force himself to get ready for bed.
[ SWEET RONDO..... being his roomie sure has been heartbreaking these last two weeks 🥲.
instead of disturbing him, hawke nudges ser snuffles to pad forward to fufill his duty as on site emergency cuddler. since it's probably dark enough (and, as a rogue she's sneaky enough) it's not too difficult to keep herself hidden to let rondo have a few moments to himself before announcing her presence. ]
it's. fine. it's fine! it's not fine. he seems barely cognizant when ser snuffles nudges at him, at first -- then, he hiccups, and makes a tiny noise that sounds like it could be a sort of mirthless, appreciative laugh, and sinks to the ground to just pet him. yeah, he. he probably needs a few moments. he needs a lot of moments. ]
ser snuffles might be the scariest doggo on the block but he still gives perfectly slobbery dog kisses to heal all wounds. he's yet to figure out how to transfer that to heart wounds but by the doggy maker themselves, he's gonna do his best ]

he hasn't even noticed that hawke's awake. ]
