*obligatory Merrill as a pony shot*
On another note, friendmancing Merrill this time is making me somewhat uncomfortable due to the obviousness of how much she worships the ground Hawke stands on. It feels like I'm taking advantage 
But in the words of an elderly Ben Savage, "They WANT you to take the rolls!"
You're not taking advantage of her. You listen to her, you ask her opinion and for help in important situations. You respect her views and support her in her endeavours. You treat her as an equal not as an "apprentice" or an "outsider" but as a person. So yeah, you treat her very different from what the rest of the world treats her.
So yeah she kinda crushes on you like a Mabari latches onto a dying man's throat.
