‘ fun? ‘
the word sounds foreign in her mouth. fun? when was the last time she had fun? stealing back grandfather’s will for mother was fun, she supposes, but that was far too long ago to count. being around varric is… fun, she thinks. she’s not sure, now that merrill’s asking.
‘ the most fun i’ve had recently is watching garrett talk to all of the suitors mother thinks are acceptable for me. ‘
she looks at bethany a little wide eyed, confused & curious. did she mispronounce the word ? mistake the definition for something else ?
“ & watching your brother talk is ... FUN ? ” merrill scratches at her temple. “ though i suppose i can see what you mean. it can be rather amusing at times, watching him talk his way around people ! he makes my head spin ! but is that all, bethany ? you don’t, say, play with any stray kittens ? do pranks on any of your neighbors ? ”
