And for what it’s worth, I’m here for you. Always. I know it’s not the same, but-”Suddenly, their hands shift, and Hawke finds that Varric is lacing his fingers through hers seamlessly. Caught off-guard, heat explodes in her cheeks and she blusters for the words she was going to say. She finds none.His eyes are molten staring through hers when she meets his gaze. She can’t comprehend what they say. “You’re more than enough, Hawke. You always have been.”'-------------------Following their confrontation with Bartrand in act two, Hawke meets up with Varric for a little heart to heart.
