[With Silver eating, Varric saw no reason to argue with him. It was a good thing that he had opted for that, however, as Varric was not above attempting to force feed someone.]

[Which... with that thought in mind, he laughed at Silver's question. It was a pleasant sort of rumble, one that tapered off into a thoughtful smile.]

I have a routine back home. Wake-up, take care of business -- usually involving shooting demons and whatnot -- drink, and tend to my friends around camp. Up until last week, I could only do two of those things, waking and tending.

For me, it's just a matter of keeping sane.

Course it's not all about being self-serving. It's just... the way I am. I can't look at a girl like Orihime, or hell, even you and Gold and not think "Is there anything I can do." [Another laugh.] I joked with a friend once that the reason I couldn't run an effective spy ring is that I'm too caught up in the well-being of others.

I don't do the cold and distant thing very well.
