potentia et gloria

Cassandra - She rolls her eyes, completely unsurprised by the news of their romance. It was obvious to anyone with a lick of sense that Varric and Hawke had been involved since their time together in Kirkwall. The way he spoke about them during the interrogation and the refusal to give away Hawke’s location was proof enough for Cassandra. It would’ve been quite romantic had it not involved Varric.

Vivienne - “My dear is this supposed to be news?” Vivienne asked, unsure of why this information is being brought to her at all. She suspected Hawke and Varric were involved after reading just a short excerpt from The Champion of Kirkwall. Their union mattered little to Vivienne. If anything, it perfectly explained why Varric had hidden the location of Hawke in the first place.

Solas - Solas takes little interest in the personal lives of the Inquisition members unless it seemed to be preventing his plans from coming to fruition. From a logistics standpoint, it seems like a good match. They certainly have similar personalities. Though, from what little he knows about Hawke they seem to be more reckless than Varric who keeps them grounded. Hm. Apparently, Solas knows more about the Inquisition members than he ever intended.

Dorian - “Perhaps Hawke will make an honest dwarf out of our dear friend.” Dorian has unfortunately been privy to many conversations where  Varric has gone on about his disturbing relationship between himself and his dear crossbow Bianca. At least Hawke is a step up from his ‘precious’ weapon. It certainly will draw the ire of Cassandra, which does make Dorian chuckle.

Iron Bull - Iron Bull figured out the two were a thing long before Hawke secretly arrived in Skyhold that day. He approves– not that it matters at all. Who else could handle Varric but Hawke? Also, apparently Hawke has a thing for all that fucking chest hair. Not Iron Bull’s thing, but hey whatever helps you pop your cork.

Cole - Cole likes Varric. He’s always been nice to him, explaining things Cole really didn’t understand. Hawke also is nice to Cole. When they first met, he didn’t seem the least bit put off by him at all. They just smiled at him, putting a warm hand on his shoulder before saying hello. Hawke makes Varric very happy. Cole blurts out something about this during one of their travels, leading the dwarf to simply sigh.

“Kid, we’ve talked about this.”

Blackwall - Blackwall never read The Champion of Kirkwall, but he had a feeling Varric felt strongly about Hawke in some manner. Learning of the news only confirms his vague suspicions. He always thought of Varric as an odd, somewhat annoying dwarf. However, he has become a friend during his time in the Inquisition. Let the dwarf have his happiness. Maker knows it’s hard to find these days.

Sera - “Guess Hawke has a thing for hair,” Sera says, nose wrinkling at the thoughts. She wouldn’t want that chest hair against her bits. Too much chafing for Sera’s liking. Then again Varric is far from her type so her opinion doesn’t mean much on this subject. A few times Sera teases Varric during their travels and he takes it in stride. Bloody dwarf never got very riled up by Sera.

Cullen - Cullen clearly remembers his interactions with Hawke and Varric during his time in Kirkwall. They were thoroughly exhausting. Dealing with one on their own is find, but together Cullen feels as if he may start to go prematurely grey. Cullen truly believes the two are perfect for one another. Who else could put up with Varric? And vise versa?

Josephine - “A concerning match, but a good one none-the-less.” Josephine can think of no less then ten troubling things off the top of her head that Varric and Hawke could cause. They are quite the chaotic pair. Yet, Josephine does find their relationship rather endearing. It’s lovely that they have managed to find one another given the current state of Thedas.
