Three years went by without much incident, although the fact that the Qunari who had taken up temporary residence in a compound on the docks were still there was starting to make a lot of people nervous. Some of these people were a corrupt Chantry mother and a templar, who had varying degrees of involvement in kidnapping and torturing a Qunari delegate sent to the Viscount. Most of those involved were killed, but the Qunari were also dead. So. It wasn’t like that was going to come back to bite them in the back side or anything

His life is really one giant pretense. He pretends to be the idle younger son, the cheerful friend who does nothing but drink and play Diamondback (for all that quite a few people know there’s more to him. He’ll continue to deny it). His sense of humor is near constant, to the point that sometimes it’s difficult to tell when he’s joking and when he’s telling the truth. He’s not likely to clarify if asked, either. And while being a shrewd businessman and caring more about coin than anything else isn’t really a pretense, Varric is secretly a bit of a softy. He may always have an eye out for what’s in it for him if he does something, but he’s unlikely to turn someone down if they really need help and it’s in his power to do so. Though he may complain and blame someone else the entire way.
Varric’s the kind of person who has a lot of “friends,” but few actual friends. Rare as they are, there’s not much he wouldn’t do for the people he genuinely cares about. This includes protecting them with his own life, and even (more importantly),

13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose:
“-and then-”
Varric paused a moment, for the suspense, of course. And also a tiny bit to bask in the wide-eyed looks of the people gathered around him (though, granted, some of those wide-eyes were also glazed over and might be attributed more towards Corff’s whiskey, which seemed particularly dangerous tonight, than anything Varric himself said). Still, a little suspense building never hurt a story, provided you knew how to time it exactly right.
And provided the subject of your current story didn’t ruin all the hard work you’d put into that building by showing up in the middle of it.
But, fortunately, Hawke was nowhere in sight at the moment. And, even more importantly, Aveline was nowhere in sight. Hawke he could deal with (shit, Hawke showing up might even be a bonus for this particular story), but the last thing he needed was Aveline hearing him tell the story of how Hawke (and Varric himself, of course) had helped her and Donnic obtain their happily ever after. The woman was scary
