This is banter between Varric, Sera and Cole. The storytelling dwarf is being his usually self and by his side is the quirky elf, Sera. Her personality is

somewhat like Varric's, but she is impulsive and stubborn. She also has a strong dislike of Cole, our little shy spirit. He's sort of like a child. He is quiet

and shy, but if he has to fight, he gladly will. Hopefully this banter will give you an idea of their relationships. Enjoy! :)

"Oi Varric! The Inquisitor and Cullen were making goo-goo eyes at each other again!"

"Ooooo juicy. So tell me, did anything interesting happen," Varric exclaimed in delight as he raised an eyebrow.

Sera slouched her shoulders in disappointment. "Sadly no, that boy wouldn't know flirting if it was written on a rock and precisely thrown at his face."

"Damn. I was looking forward to adding another chapter to my new story. I came up with the name this morning. I like to call it Romancing the Templar." Varric raised his right hand and waved it over his head to give his proud title emphasis.

Sera thought a moment, in fact about the budding romance between the Inquisitor and the former Knight-Captain. A huge grin slowly spread across her face. "Sooooo... When do you think blockhead is going to get the courage to take action?"

Varric's eyes snapped towards her and a wicked smile was soon on his face as well.

"What do you mean "take action"?" A voice arose from the shadows and a body emerged with it.

"Cole, how long have you been standing there?"

Cole hung his head, blushing from the realization he was eavesdropping. With a small voice, he squeaked, "I have just walked into the room and I didn't want to interrupt your conversation."

Varric blinked a couple times before bursting into laughter. Cole frowned. He did not understand the dwarf with the luxuriant chest hair's sudden outburst.

Through chuckles, Varric blurted,"Oh kid, your innocence amuses me greatly. Corrupting you will be fun." He wiped away a tear in the corner of his eye.

"Sera, should I tell him?"

Sera folded her arms and made a pouting face. "Go ahead. I don't care what you tell IT," she replied.

Varric shrugged, then popped his knuckles and said, "Oh this is gonna be good." He gestured Cole to lean closer to him. The dwarf firmly grasped the boy's shoulder and cleared his throat.

"See Cole, when a man and woman love each other—"

"— I do not like where this is going," Cole interrupted, his face disfigured with horror.
