@araneaecorde liked for a starter from Salem
Varric was one hell of a storyteller, that was for sure. He had believed what everyone else had-- Hawke vanished as the rest of Kirkwall was sent reeling over the destruction of The Chantry. Hell, he’d known about her long before she was The Champion of Kirkwall, hearing information of some rogue running around The Deep Roads from his father years before.
However, her victory in Kirkwall against The Arishok was something that had caught his attention, even if he hadn’t believed it. Even now, looking at the woman, he had to ask some of the questions that had been burning inside of his head for years. So, during the first time he had a chance to find her in the tavern, he decided to make his move.
“So, you’re the one who got the big boss of the Antaam...” he replied, handing her a drink. “I really hope you made the fucker hurt before you killed him.”
