"Unfortunately." And she hoped, as he did, that it never would. She would never want to be flippant with family members, at ease with giving them news like that. "But it always falls to you."
She chuckled. "Oh, I've no doubt. It was almost laughable, hearing that the Blight was ended by an Amell." She had almost been afraid of her mother wanting to go home for that reason alone, after she and Bethany had been clawing through their servitude to get to where they were. "It must be Amell women, I think. I can't speak highly of the men, not when I only have my uncle to go on."
Her cousin in Kirkwall. That would be a sight. A mage Grey Warden, sweeping in to see her long lost family in the Free Marches. Oh, she could almost imagine Meredith's face. That would be even better than a comment about being a rabble-rouser. "...If she didn't come with the other Wardens when Kirkwall was attacked, then I hesitate to think what could bring her here." She was in a position of authority now, or so she heard. A shame; Hawke wanted to meet her one day.
