oh god, jaune and hawke. okay, let's see how i can put the bundle of what that is their relationship into coherent words? let me try my hand at this.

SO, JAUNE IS HAWKE'S SON. not her brother because at least with a younger brother, you assume they can take care of themselves. hawke keeps running into jaune and going "okay, i'm just going to make fun of him and not get emotionally invested in this conversation at all" and tries really, really, really hard to do so for the first couple of minutes until inevitably, jaune does something... jaune-ish and hawke is overcome with the need to fix it all. this is really not anything she's enjoying.

she can't even compare him to anyone she knows back home since none of them are close to the whole jaune-ness that is jaune (and if hawke was a tad more self-aware, she'd realize that she's the one back home who usually fills the jaune role and that's why she's accidentally become so attached to him). but she wants the best for jaune and for him to do his best because she thinks he can but it's a weird balance here between aggressively wanting to mentor but also not wanted to be invested at all --

which is why she keeps starting the way she does. I WILL MAKE FUN OF HIM hawke says and the conversation ends with her trying awkwardly to give him life advice. I WILL EMBARRASS HIM IN PUBLIC FOR MONEY hawke goes and ends up changing her goal to just trying to help jaune build up his self-esteem. eventually hawke might go "i have to stop talking to jaune or i'm going to get more attached" and end up talking to jaune way, way more.

if only jaune knew the internal crisis he was causing hawke to have at any given moment. but he doesn't. because it's jaune and this entire reason is why she likes him so much! IT'S NOT FUN KICKING THE DOG WHEN THE DOG THINKS IT DESERVES IT. INSTEAD YOU END UP WANTING TO TAKE THE DOG HOME, GIVE IT A BATH AND SOME BACON. HAWKE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE UP HER BACON.
