Writing prompt 27 with Cassandra x VARRIC
The door slammed open with enough force to rattle Varric’s bookshelves–and Varric himself. The dwarf almost fell out of his desk chair in surprise when Cassandra burst in.
“I’M PREGNANT?!” she shouted, giving him no time to recover from her energetic entry.The dwarf gawked at her, completely at a loss for words.
“I… You’re… why…?” he sputtered as she crossed the room in sweeping strides. “What is going on?” he managed finally when she stood towering over her.
“I was going to ask you the same thing!” Cassandra said loudly, and waved something under his nose. “How could you?!” Varric retreated until he felt the hard line of his desk against his back.
“Seeker, I don’t–” he said, trying to get a glimpse of whatever it was Cassandra was waving at him.
“You put her on trial, separate her from her true love, and you end the chapter with her saying ‘I’m pregnant’?! She deserves better!” As she spoke, Cassandra hugged the item in her hands close to her chest, and Varric got a glimpse of it for the first time. It was thel latest issue of Swords and Shields. Realization hit him square in the chest and he doubled over laughing.
Cassandra made a scandalized noise, “And now you’re laughing! Varric, you must give her a happy ending!” When the dwarf finally straightened he was wiping tears from his eyes.
“I guess you’ll just have to wait and see what happens,” he said, grinning from ear to ear.
