[ Hawke could count on one hand the number of outdoorsy environments he'd seen Anders in, ever, because there were all of three of them: the Wounded Coast, the countryside surrounding Chateau de Snot, or whatever it had been called, and the Vinmark Chasm. If the last even counted. So he notices how unusual it is, even if nature had appeared to be about the only thing Anders had liked about Duke Prosper's sporting even.
He's never taken sunlight or trees for granted, exactly, they've just always been part of his life, even if Malcolm instilled awareness of how much work that took the family as a unit. Just now observing Anders' interaction with the green-gold tunnel walls and ceiling that stretch around them, he's not thinking of any of that. Rather, that of everything it feels like he lost to get here, it might be worth it for this.
Which is probably his complete allotment of sentimentality for the month, so he doesn't exactly voice all of that even if his look speaks volumes. ]
We should do a beach sometime. I do miss the ocean.
[ He ...misses everything not Zion, honestly. Even caves! Integration could be uh, going better.
This is all right, though. To demonstrate he borrows their looped fingers as a whole so he can wrap an arm around Anders' waist for a second, smile close-mouthed and crooked. A bigger claim on Hawke's attention indeed. ]
