As days turned to weeks, and those weeks dragged on and on, Beleth grew more and more worried. Cyril's updates let her know that the two of them were still alive and more or less in good health, but that's not what she's worried about. Not that she wants either of them to be hurt, but she knows their capabilities, and that either of them apart would be able to take care of themselves--with the two of them? Little reason to worry on that front.

No, what haunted Beleth was the idea that they...simply wouldn't return. Don't make it all you do, she had plead to Merrick, before he had left. Time stretched on, life continued, and even as Beleth carried forward with it all, she began to worry that she had been right. When she finally heard the news, the worry is lifted from her shoulders--only to be replaced by a new worry. Nobody had mentioned a qunari with them. Which bode poorly for Merrick's state of mind.

So, she went about searching for Merrick. And the first thing she'll do, upon spotting him, is running up to him and wrapping her arms around him tightly. She doesn't say anything, not yet. She doubts anything she has to say will be helpful.
