The glance is met with an unconcerned shrug in response; a little flattery for a greater purpose really doesn't bother Korrin in the least. She's explicitly stated in the past that she doesn't share, and that's not going to change, but some harmless flirting for a gauntlet? That's nothing approaching a breach of trust, though Araceli's consideration is heartwarming.
That comment about terrible books prompts an easy laugh from her, probably the most merriment she's displayed since certain qunari revelations. Those still tear at her heart, but for just a moment, she can block them out. "Varric's, of course. And some of yours, when you're done with them. Maker, you can't go a page or to without someone loudly challenging someone else." Not that she's criticizing, it's still fun to read even if (or because) it's trash. "I didn't know it was all so set in stone. Are there any other hideous sins I need to know about before I commit them, too?"
