The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Marian Hawke]

"He's so--- people are going to think he's mine," she says, abruptly. "Shit."

[Zevran]

Zevran chokes loudly.

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Oh! You and Va- ooooooh."

[Varric]

Varric stares. "Uhhh. Wait, no, it hasn't been nearly long enough," he says rapidly. "Tieflings are like three years, right?"

[Marian Hawke]

"Just, strangers. A tiefling-merikos, a dwarf, and a dwarf-teifling baby."

[Varric]

"Oh. Well.... fuck them," Varric says dismissively, again using orcish for the curse.

[Haliel Lightsong]

Won't that just teach the baby the non-common words are bad words?

[Marian Hawke]

"It... would make a good cover," she says slowly. "For where the baby came from."

[Varric]

Varric hesitates, eyes drifting to Helene.

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene frowns. "Perhaps.. a surrogate? Or, we could be adopting your child? He, that is, I meant to say." 

[Haliel Lightsong]

Haliel grins, her romance bell well and truly rung at that slip.

[Varric]

"Maybe... but.. how about... well... instead of me, maybe..." He falls silent with a wince.

[Marian Hawke]

Marian's stomach churns. "Maybe what almost happened?" Could have happened? Might have happened? "Could do."

[Varric]

"No, it's fine Marian. Just... a little... weird, thinking of... anyone that way but maybe you a bit more than most. Almost as bad as Shiny.."

[Haliel Lightsong]

Haliel looks startled. Worse? Why..?
