Hit me with the Feelings Stick

I'm sorry but WHAT. Has anyone ever explained WHAT a Ben-Hassrath spy was doing in the capital of the Tevinter Imperium in the middle of a very long war between their people? I thought Bull spent most of a decade on Seheron before being assigned to Orlais, but from this exchange it sounds like he was in Minrathous long enough to know the city well and frequent the same areas and businesses, meaning he wasn't just passing through.

Like even if he was undercover as Tal-Vashoth during his Chargers phase (which, unlikely as Krem is kind of an outlaw from the Imperium) that's gotta raise red flags with the locals, right?? Did I miss some lore or backstory that explains this?

The Iron Bull giving Halsin some of the books he collected because Halsin said he would miss having his around when he joins up. Halsin being unused to someone paying that much attention and giving him stuff because he's the one that's usually leading and providing for others. Halsin discovers that Bull has been teaching himself different languages native to Faerûn that way and offers to teach him some more Elvish. Totally not an excuse to talk to him more and spend more time with him.

Maybe after Gale offers to teach The Iron Bull how to channel the Weave, Bull is curious and asks more questions about what casting is like for Halsin as a druid specifically since there seems to be distinct experiences and approaches between the different spellcasters. I think Halsin would appreciate being able to share his perspective like that and finds it flattering that Bull even thought to ask him.

Bull 100% wrestles with Halsin in his bear form, obviously in a play fight sort of way, and Halsin loves it. Bull also likes to nap with him when he's in his bear form, so it's not unusual to find them snoozing after they've fought a bit.

That request is absolutelty cute! And since tomorrow is Valentines Day I thought, why not release it then? So, here we are! Hope you enjoy!

Dorian

I think, you broke that man.

I mean it totally honest. He would not know what to do at first. Dorian is somebody who seems not really able to react properly towards emotions, wether they are from him or someone else.

At first, he would try to joke, after he recovered from the inital shock. He would say something along the lines of "I am not that bad."

He ist just super insecure and thinks,he did something wrong!

But after you explained it to him, he will feel a lot better! And will then comofrt you properly. With a hug, some nice kisses on the forehead and even a prpoer kiss.

Just, don't do that again. He still needs to learn.

Iron Bull

Probably the most calm person of all three. Iron Bull would pull you into his arms and lightly stroke your head. He may not be the most romantic guy but he knows that you are distraught and need him.

Of course, he will be fucking happy when he understand that you are crying because you are happy that he loves you back.

But you are at that moment his priority and he will not ask questions until you feel ready to talk again - a.k.a you stopped crying.

He ist absolutely chill and somehow knows how to help.

Varric

Will chuckle to himself in a manner of "What the hell did I do?"

He may get defensive, a bit like Dorian.

He is simply insecure too. Often Varric doesn't seem like that but it is a completly new area for him and because of that he can not understand why you are crying.

I could imagine, that he would pat your shoulder, trying to be there for you but also feeling like he lost the ground beneath his feet because he does not understand why you are crying. Does it mean, that you love him back or because you are scared of him? Of your lost friendship?

If I could draw for y'all, I would, but the vision is as follows:

Iron Bull: God, would you look at the stars? They're beautiful

Dorian: it's two o'clock

Iron Bull: *spins unsteadily in a circle with little dizzy stars and birds flapping around his head* And there's two of you

Dorian: Oh for the love of- what did you say this time?

The Inquisitor, passing through: Asked if he should start calling her "your highness" when she said she was too busy to help out
