Her smile was a little bit... affected, and didn’t quuuuite reach her eyes. But she did her best to keep up the charade. ‘Pretend Everything’s Fine’... the story of her life. “Which is why there’s no one else I’d rather have watching my back.” Even as she was saying it she was internally face-palming INTENSELY. Really? That was the best she could come up with? She was pretty sure she just brought shame to the entire Hawke family with that one.
let me... be the first to- congratulate you.
It wasn’t necessary, he didn’t need to congratulate her... them. There was nothing... “I... Thanks, Varric.” No. This was better. Better he think that this was serious than realise who she was really in love with. THAT would just make things awkward. And she would hate herself if she destroyed their friendship because of her stupid feelings.
