Here's the thing about Qunari. By and large, they generally do one thing with their lives, and they do it really, really well. A Qunari who bears the title of Arishok? Is really, really good at getting other Qunari to obey him without question. And most of the time, what impresses Qunari warriors enough to obey without question is martial prowess.

Hawke just barely survived her duel with one.

Varric is only the latest in the line of attendants at Hawke's bedside the day after her duel with the Qunari leader. Healing magic can't accomplish everything, so someone's got to keep an eye on her until she comes around.

It's quite some time into Varric's vigil over Hawke that the newly-dubbed Champion stirs. Fighting through the haze of unconsciousness as she slowly becomes aware of things around her.

The first, before she even opens her eyes, is the distinctive cadence of Varric's voice somewhere to her right. Second, is the fact that she's laying down. Thirdly, and lastly for the moment, is the sudden flare of pain seemingly everywhere on her body.

That aught to get Varric's attention.
