Hawks is more flying than walking; walking on sand is kind of annoying, after all. This way he keeps from having to deal with the annoying ordeal of the sand. He's a bit away on the shoreline from Anders, though even in the dark, he's got very good eyesight. He can see the mage ahead of him, though beyond that it gets trickier, what with the fog starting to creep in.

He hears Anders's startled cry, though, and speeds up. Hawks is known for being very fast; he moves from leisurely to quick, catching up in really just a moment. He's there just after Anders trips backward. He'll offer a hand if needed as he touches down near Anders on the sand.

"You okay?" he asks. Though he follows Anders's line of sight to...a corpse?! He doesn't jump, but he starts a bit and his eyes go wide. "Oh shit, is that what I think it is?"
