Varric: Now, maybe the old place didn’t roll out the welcome, but it’s still home, right?īethany: I’ve spent more time as a Warden than I did in Kirkwall. Varric: You’re not looking so sunny, Sunshine.īethany: It’s not how I wanted to come back. …and outright tells her how much he misses her if she’s in the Wardens: Varric: Sorry, I have a reputation to maintain. Varric: A Hawke attracting obsessives with a poor grasp of consequence? Color me stunned. How much does someone want me dead to attack me in the Gallows? Varric: Good to be out and about Sunshine?īethany: It’s exciting, I’ll say that. In “Legacy”, he playfully flirts with her again if she’s in the Circle: A good noble always has a complaint ready, Sunshine. Varric: Insist that they’re blatantly copying you, and demand royalties. Varric: Come up to the Hightown Market and complain bitterly that there’s no Orlesian silk that matches your eyes.īethany: But what if something does match my eyes? What will I do, then? You need to do something frivolous to celebrate your birthright. Varric: Practicality is for peasants, my lady. Varric: So… Milady Sunshine, what’s your first act of noblewoman going to be?īethany: A noblewoman with no fortune and no title? Looking for work, probably.

His joking with her in this post-“Birthright” exchange reads juuuust on the edge of flirting:

He doesn’t personally promise to rescue any other companion (though one of the three things he can say to Hawke is “Hang in there! I’ll get you out of here!”) (If Bethany falls) Hold on, Sunshine, I’m coming! But take a close look at their banters together, and I think Varric definitely seems sweet on Bethany.įor example, if she falls in battle, Varric says: It’s not a romance, per se, not like Hawke and the LIs.
