"I'm sure that's not the case, Seeker. Have you considered asking the Inquisitor about it, or Shocker? I know the Inquisitor is away in the Emerald Graves right now, but I'm sure Shocker could help you. I mean, with all this weird shit going off with Corypheus and the templars, their silence is (+)
“No, and it is very unlike them. I have been trying to craft my… disagreement into a letter.” She sat down at the bar beside him, gesturing for a bottle.
“What happened was a disgrace to the order! We seek the truth and if the truth dictates…I ramble. It does no good. Perhaps they wish me angry.”
"Oh, I was just asking how things are in general. Have you heard anything about your fellow Seekers at all since they decalred the Inquisition a bunch of crazy heretics when the were in Val Royeaux?" he asked, making his way over to the bar at the tavern.

“Normal. Quiet. I do not care for it. Heavy talk for cheerful apples. Honestly…
I don’t know how ‘things’ are…”
She glanced down at him and back with a forced casualness, as they stepped inside. “To what ‘things’ do you refer? Perhaps I may catch my thoughts yet…”
"Oh yeah, I've read that story- it's a good one." commented Varric as he made his way to the tavern. "And me too; the apples sound good, and I'll try a bit of the cider. So Seeker, how are things?" asked the dwarf as he entered the tavern.

That's true. And I appreciate the offer Seeker, but let's hope it'll never be needed.
A paranoia only. It is far too unique to get far. I could easily fetch it back through the proper channels
I just don't want anyone stealing her, that's all. She's one of a kind.
October 31, 2025 at 4:33 PM
You're right there, Seeker. That woman was crazy. But then, so was Orsino by the end. Maker's breath, Kirkwall was a mess back then. Lucky Hawke was there to put a stop to it all before it got even more out of hand.
The fact that Meredith has no part in this new crisis with the cursed stones is a blessing to us all.

…..
You are
…..
welcome Varric
I agree. Andraste's ass, it almost makes Meredith look tame.

And she's named for - shit nevermind. But thanks, Seeker.
October 29, 2025 at 5:40 PM
SHHH!!!!
No, I do not wish to speak of Varric's extremely close relationship with his crossbow.

The might of this cursed lyrium mixed with a dragon far removed from it’s natural mind does not bode well.
But I have trained much of my life for dragons…
I may be called on
to do what I must…soon

Yes, a fine weapon. An odd name, but who am I to judge
That's true.
It does. It kinda reminds me of the feeling I get when I'm around red lyrium. But all weird and twisted.

I'm just glad Skyhold has thicker walls.

And Bianca? She has. Best crossbow ever made.

Let us not forget he possesses a dragon.
Although I will say I have not seen its sort flying, even in the north.
It feels-wrong on all fronts.
….
You talk about your crossbow as if it was a person. It must have served you very well
Now why does that not surprise me? And I agree. But, me and Bianca do alright. She hasn't let me down yet. Bull, I'll pass on the dragon-hunting if it's all the same to you Seeker; I'd rather not risk my neck on a dragon when Corypheus could show up at any time.

It can be foolhearty to go alone. I was that fool once. Proper training can be everything
No, I'd just rather not go out my way to chase after things that want to kill me, Seeker.

Are
you afraid of dragons?
Varric Tethras the storyteller running from adventure?
Honestly? I'd rather avoid the dragons and the demons, Seeker.
October 8, 2025 at 4:23 PM

Hunting dragons is a noble pursuit. A true test of strength and courage. There is no such honor in nightmares…
Do you wish to slay a dragon?
You're right there Seeker. Is it bad I'd rather face a dragon as at Ieast I can shoot at a dragon with Bianca?
October 6, 2025 at 8:42 PM

If only I could run it through with my sword and be done with it. This is far from the slaying of dragons.

-nods, looking up only slightly from polishing her shield-

You have a built in armor often overlooked.
*laughs*

I have to admit, I'm glad I can't dream for once. Makes me safe from this nightmare demon at least, unless it comes to Skyhold directly.

*especially exasperated disgusted noise*
I am…out of sorts. It is this whole nightmare business. I have never done well with demons and one that attacks us all at our very souls in the night?
I need to do, act! At the least some mission…
What was that Seeker? Did you just admit that I was right about something?

Makers' breath, that's even weirder than this whole Corypheus shit. I have to agree with you though- hell, sometimes I wonder if I have gone mad and this is all once crazy hallucination.

I-hate to
agree with you of all people but you are right Varric. We are each of us a part of the Inquisition now. Maker willing we are victorious.
….
If any had told me this would be my fate only months ago I would have called them mad
Mhm. As if the Inquisitor would really let you do that to me, Seeker. Have you seen the shit going on lately? She needs me - every single one of us is gonna be needed if we're to take down Corypheus and his archdemon.

Fond as a annoying pox the healers have yet to identify. You may well still ‘mysteriously’ fall from the ship
Aww Seeker, you'd really keep me company on the way back to Kirkwall? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were fond of me.
October 4, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Sure it did, Seeker.

My finger slipped.

What are you getting at, Shocker?

@davrienpavus.bsky.social
Are you guys really plagued by fear of me?
The Inquisitor was plagued by the fear of Varric.
September 30, 2025 at 12:34 AM
No, good historians are a rare thing these days.
She was. They don't make historians like her anymore...
She sounds like a lovely woman.
September 15, 2025 at 9:49 AM
She sounds like a lovely woman.
No I did not actually. I got so distracted trying to translate it that I may have forgotten about the job entirely. Even if I had it was a bust from the get go. Lady Auclair the owner of the fine manor was actually still at home. Her travel plans delayed by bad weather.
So you're creeping around this library and you found an old elven manuscript? I'm taking it you took the manuscript?
September 14, 2025 at 5:40 PM
True. I ought to write to her and check in, see how she's doing.
That is normally because she's concerned about the Imperium, Varric.
I do. She always leaves out the good stuff.
September 14, 2025 at 5:40 PM
I do. She always leaves out the good stuff.
You know how she is.
Clearly Mae's been leaving out all the good stuff when I ask her how things are in Minrathous. At least someone is giving me the good stories.
September 4, 2025 at 12:30 PM

In truth yes, I suppose and this is just me paraphrasing to save time.

Well I was given a job to break into a manor in Hightown. Owner was supposed to be away on an expedition to some ruin in the Emerald Graves. Should have been an easy job. So I managed to get in through a window left unlocked
Wow. Sounds like you've had a rough time of it. What happened when you were sixteen?

*makes notes in his notebook*

Well it started just after my fourteenth name day around two hundred years ago I think? My ma had just been killed by the Templars so I was on my own on the streets of Dark town. Ended taking odd jobs here and there to survive— mostly petty thievery or breaking and entering...
I can't say you have. So, how did you get into it?
September 3, 2025 at 8:56 PM

You'd be surprised of what all goes on in Minrathous.
Trust someone in Minrathous to think flying cows are good idea.
