[closed] diamonds are a girl's best friend

[eolasemah]

WHO: Sina, Adelaide, and Varric
WHAT: so about that book you wrote
WHEN: early Solace
WHERE: Varric's lil table by the hearth
NOTES: This might get super gruesome, I have no idea.

It is a typical day in Skyhold, pleasant and summery and with golden light streaming in the windows of Skyhold's great hall. There is no reason for concern, just two harmless mages strolling in to approach Varric at his usual haunt, the smaller mage a sickly-looking elf with a green anchor shard embedded in her chest. She is holding a thick tome, The Tale of the Champion, written by none other than Varric Tethras. She has read it from cover to cover, and has many questions.
But having only encountered the dwarf once or twice, Sina isn't quite sure how to approach him with the very specific question she and Adelaide have come to ask. She looks expectantly up at the human woman, the book clutched to her chest and rimlit by the green glow behind it.

Varric has become, in his months at Skyhold, fairly used to the idea that fans of his writing will approach him at any given hour. Sometimes they ambush him at breakfast, sometimes they catch him in the tavern, but a good number of them always seem to slide up beside his table while he's working. It's almost become part of his routine.

So, naturally, when he spies the book that Dalish elf is holding, he instantly jumps to the most likely conclusion.

"Ladies," Varric greets and shoots Adelaide a charming smile as he leans back in his chair, away from his correspondence. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

He'd bet twenty sovereigns that the answer to that question was: she wants an autograph, but he has enough tact not to just say it.
