Oh for... Not that tone. She hated it when he used that tone on her. Loved it too, because it was so bloody him, but he wasn’t supposed to be using it now. On her. This time. This making it so much harder to just leave. To finish up this incredibly weird and awkward conversation they were having and leave. All she wanted was to go somewhere else.
And have a few drinks. Or maybe Aveline needed a hand with something. Beating up some bandits sounded like a fine distraction.
“It’s nothing! I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine. It’s great.” She sighed. “We’re just. Not. An item. Exactly. Right now. That’s all.” Oh Maker, this wasn’t going to blow up in her face at ALL somewhere in the future. Never. “But it’s okay, Varric.” Her smile was real, this time. Because what he said was the truth. He was always there for her. Always listened. “The same goes for you. You know that, right? You can talk to me about anything.”
