Major spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
"Why does it have a name?" Taash narrowed their eyes, staring at the broken crossbow. "I don't even really get why people have names. And weapons aren't people."
Lace sighed. "He named it after someone." She was saying too much. Taash had a way of making her do that. "It's not important, okay?" The sound when her string broke; like a wounded violin. The swan song of a legend. How could she remember? She couldn't possibly have heard.
"Hey," Taash frowned, taking her hand. "I want to understand."
She knew they did. It was part of why she loved them.
Thematic context for those unfamiliar with the fandom (and my benevolent drabble abjudicators): At the beginning of the game Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the iconic crossbow Bianca, considered a character in her own right, is destroyed. This is a foreshadowing of her owner Varric dying shortly afterwards. Bianca was named after Varric's estranged lover, and Lace Harding (featured here in the drabble) is musing on this and poetically thinking of the sound of Bianca breaking as her "last words". Dekuji se o čtení. *Czechs nervously*
