[Kirkwall never really became home for Carver. Not in the way it had for his oldest sibling, who made her name here. Rather, it was a brief phase of his life before fate took him elsewhere, far away from the city that he had only visited a handful of times since then.
Still, despite his outward scowl, there's a part of him that's relieved to still see the city standing and, apparently, recovering well enough. A long mission near the Anderfels kept him completely out of the loop for months. Coming back to the surface, and to reality, left him feeling adrift briefly until he finally decided to say "screw you" to Weisshaupt and do what the cool Wardens are doing and up and went to join the Inquisition in some sort of capacity. Imagine his surprise when he learned the Inquisition moved to Kirkwall.
Of course, coming back here was for more than just to join up. He hadn't spoken to either of his sisters for months, and when he heard the oldest was still missing, he knew he needed to find Bethany and see what needed to be done. (And yes, he's worried about big sis. A lot. Where does she get off on disappearing without a word anyway?) So, despite his checkered history with Kirkwall, he knew he'd be coming back to stay for awhile.
When he arrives, he's not sure where to start. Inquisition people pointed him to the Gallows, but the thought made his skin crawl. He can't imagine Beth - or any of the others - staying there anyway, not after what happened. So, he takes off into the city, in search of those he knows.
In Hightown, he sticks out like a sore thumb, in his very dirty Warden armor and equally dirty mabari. Dog's older now, gray around the muzzle and slower than he used to be, but he keeps up well enough as Carver looks around. They stop outside the old Amell estate. Locked and boarded up, as they discover. There's something close to regret in the way Carver looks up at it.
In Lowtown, he feels strangely more comfortable. Still out of place but at least not so inconspicuous. Here he's more prone to browse the stalls, taking in the sights he's more familiar with, though they seem a distant memory now. In fact, one might even be lucky enough to find him in the Hanged Man, getting a drink for old times' sake.
And he can be found nearly anywhere else save the Gallows and Darktown. He might even visit that new magic tree that's sprung up oh so mysteriously, although it'll be mostly to side-eye the hell out of it.]

"You're right about the Wardens, though. There's a decent number of us, and we're all good looking." A grin and an eyebrow waggle are inserted here. Kaisa's decided on both compliment and confirmation. "It's truly incredible. You're just lucky that you came here, instead of when they had us stashed in some half-assed camp half an hour away from Skyhold. There were some perks--I guess the Dalish liked the idea of being away from everyone, so there were a ton of cute elf girls hanging out. But man, it was damned cold."

"I wouldn't say all. I know of one or two I think I'd rather gag myself than call attractive." Sorry Anders. "But wait, they shoved a bunch of us into a camp, away from the main fort?" Well that's just several levels of shitty. "Don't suppose it has something to do with what happened with Weisshaupt, or with Clarel?" He says that as if he doesn't already strongly suspect the answer.

That might have gone poorly.
"No, surprisingly. I mean--Weisshaupt may have contributed to it, but we didn't get officially booted until after Anders showed up." She offers Carver a shrug along with it. Surprise, it's all Anders' fault. Except that probably isn't surprising, either. It was kinda bullshit, but also understandable. Anders was, after. Anders.
"We told the Inquisition that Anders was ours, and they couldn't go throwing him to an angry mob. They agreed, but I guess that made us outstay our welcome at the fortress. Honestly--It sucked, but it might've been a good thing, in the long run. There was a lot of vitriol in the air after that, and it was nice to have a place where no one was giving us shifty looks all the time."
Pause. "Wish they'd picked a warmer spot, though."

Carver makes a face when Anders is mentioned. Oh, of course it was because of Anders. And he's not sure if he should be annoyed with the mage, or with the Inquisition. Fuck it, he'll be pissed at them both. Because yes, it's Anders and he did a shit thing and deserves to be smacked over the head. A lot. But that was also years ago and the Inquisition is openly letting mages assist and even run things, so what in Thedas were they so pissy about? "More like a punishment for taking in Thedas's most wanted. While I don't condone anything about what he did, Wardens are known to take in criminals and fugitives. What did they expect?" There's a darkspawn magister running amok. The Wardens weren't going to turn away a spirit healer. Or anyone, for that matter.
