Beckett's complimentary assessment of Hawke's nature was flattering, the kind of flattery she usually dodged or deflected with words. Instead she ducked her head for a moment and shrugged one of her shoulders.
Far more interesting to her was the story of how her new friend had met her husband, and Marian couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Maker, do you know - I have friend back on Thedas named Varric and while I didn't have to clear him from any sort of murder charges, he really DID follow me around from the moment he met me onward, simply so he could write his book. 'The Tale of the Champion' is famous across Thedas now. That little dward owes me, but I suppose I don't really mind."
Varric was her best friend, part of that family that you choose, and she thought there could have even been something between him if he hadn't been clearly in love with someone else. "Oddly, Fenris and I had that sort of persistent thing going on, too. Though usually it was him hating me and me showing up at his estate to poke him into doing this or that. I'm a Mage, you see. And so was his former Master, so even though he needed me and was grudgingly grateful for my assistance, there were a lot of issues there."
