Varric shoots her a sly little grin. "I've always appreciated your careful consideration of my sanity, Hawke."
He doesn't miss that part about protecting him, but honestly, he wouldn't have expected any different. Him and Hawke watching out for each other - it's kind of just what they do, isn't it? As much as he might try to deflect back home, in a place like this, he sure they could both use it.
Two and a half years? It's - hard to think about that, actually. Sure, he hadn't physically seen the Hawke from his world in a while before everything with the Grey Wardens, but they were in as constant communication as possible. As much as he hated Hawke being on the run and wanted to change that, it never felt like he couldn't just go pack up and join if he really wanted to.
He knows there's nothing he could have done about it, but he still doesn't like the idea of it having been so long.
"We're way past fashionably late for me to show up, then, but I guess it's better than never."
