I'm going to shamelessly follow the crowd and add these all in one comment ♥
SHELL Varric won't interfere with it, per se, but he'll get close to it and he will probably touch the big alien thing just because it's there. If this is considered interfering, he can be convinced to bugger off and leave it alone, though.
MEETING Varric will try to sweettalk his way in with Captain Childe: he's a chronicler of historical events, and since not everyone can get into this meeting, they at least deserve someone to write about what happens here to keep them in the loop.
...And if that doesn't work, are there eavesdropping options for the nosy an upstanding citizen who wishes to make everyone aware of important events? He will absolutely settle for peepholes, the old 'cup-on-a-door' trick, although he's not into the idea enough to hurt guards or anything.
QUESTIONS FOR THE THESSYX Miscellaneous things Varric will ask, and he'll try to trade for answering their questions - although he'll still talk a lot in any case 1. Are they from this world, or do they come from elsewhere? 2. How did they know about the hatchlings? (Varric's nice way of trying to find out if they're responsible for the hatchlings) 3. Did they know for three years that this camp was here? 4. Is there anything that the thessyx will share about their culture and people? Technology, system of government, do they live with any other races?
ETA: QUESTION ABOUT THE THESSYX ...What if Varric tried to share moonshine with some of them? Or weed?
BANQUET (not a question, tbh) Varric will be fully bringing every NPC he sees over to join him for a bit of food, and if anyone looks askance he will play up the angle of this NPC being his very close friend and they're breaking bread together! Would you stop Varric from following his culture of bread-breaking? Or...marinated insect...breaking?
CRITTERS So, since these are basically scared animals, is there anything that'll make them run away in the opposite direction? Loud noises, waving arms, acting big and scary? ...Small explosions?
Would trying to calm one down work if it's about to attack? Shushing noises, non-threatening gestures, stuff like that?

And failing all that, does poison work on them?
