the scene where you talk to davrin in his room while he whittles tiny models of monsters (while assan watches with rapt attention <3 there is nothing about this whole setup, man or griffon, that isn't adorable) when your rook IS one of the dainty little academic mage types he so besmirches and you consistently pick the purple options through the conversation -- I am SCREECHING the covert jock/nerd war rages on between clenched teeth and forced jollity, they are doing this on purpose, bioware really have given me this gift all nicely wrapped and lovingly crafted! rook is so fucking bitchy and passive aggressive in these purple options (and once or twice davrin doesn't seem to realize it/takes what they say at face value); it's not very nice of them but it is hilarious. also I must say that hearing these two just relentlessly neg each other with palpable tension of. SOME kind thick in the air* for five minutes straight and then walking away and seeing the 'davrin approves' pop up at the end gets close to the otherwise unapproachable gaming high that is having a tense standoff with sten in origins and seeing +7 affection as you leave. davrin clearly is going 'good talk man nice to see you stand up for yourself more, I respect the roast game' while my rook walks away with a forced smile and clenched fists like 'okay so that wasn't very mature of me I'll admit it but god why is this guy such an asshole'
I cannot imagine how this conversation must play out with a character more on davrin's wavelength because for my setup here this was *chef's kiss* perfect. ideal. I'm so glad this dynamic exists it's one of the funniest and most characterization-enriching things that could have happened to me
*there's some insanity going on here where like... I don't think either of them like want to fuck, they're not actually attracted to each other, but they both would fuck each other in a 'go fuck yourself'/'fuck me yourself you coward'/'fine I will see if I don't!!!!'/'oh yeah??? do it then!!!!!' kind of way. the vibes are indescribable and unhinged on both of their parts.
#the more I play the more I realize rye ingellvar is a HUGE petty bitch when pressed and I like him so so much#their vibe with lucanis is SO tender and patient and gentle. they have such respect and steady admiration for bellara.#they strive to be friendly and inviting with harding despite their different personalities and courteously lets neve have her space#and whenever davrin speaks they immediately choose violence. we must all contain multitudes#'oh. oh *I'm* a useless nerd and you're convincing yourself whittling your little action figures is actually just sound tactics???#fine. sure. alright. I can be an adult about this. ...tomorrow.'#once these two actually manage to hash it out they're going to have the most unbreakable brotherly bond ever tho#I'm calling it now. no one else gets to pick on either on them while the other is here sort of thing#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#davrin#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#bad news for rye: another jock has joined the team. the mage nerd coalition no longer quite so safe in their numbers#(well it's still four against two you'll still probably win the figurative movie night vote pretty easily. but still#three maybe. depends on where you put harding. lucanis is a theater kid so he's technically switzerlanding it#but really rook and neve can look at him with big beseeching eyes#and he turns collaborateur for the mage side in a heartbeat. hey. I um. I love this team)
