#Rook: Calais Ingellvar

[t00tsmcgee]

Romance chart for my sweet boys Calais, Lucanis and Spite (Yes, I think Spite should be separately included in this because Calais loves them both very much, thank you)

Explanation (and transcript for the scribbles) for some of my choices below

OG template: https://bsky.app/profile/salmonprincess.bsky.social/post/3lhz6mm4z2k2p

First to confess box

Spite was the one who actually exposed his (and Lucanis') feelings for Cal in a moment where he just blurted it out, causing Cal to confess his feelings to them in return.

Steals blanket

Cal steals all the blankets, naturally running cold, but Spite steals them back as a game. They end up play wrestling over the blankets before cuddling up and sharing peacefully a lot of the time.

-----

Animal choice

Calais: Arctic fox, Cute but deadly

Lucanis: Puppy, big wet eyes

Spite: Pallas cat, Gremlin <3

Flower/plant choice

Calais: Sage, meaning Wisdom, Thoughtfullness and Health, calling back to his specialization as a healer, and his empathy as well as the advice others often seek from him. Spite also says he smells like sage, and lavender.

Lucanis: Gentian, meaning Passion, charm, loveliness and sweetness

Spite: Scorpionweed, meaning Determination and Strength

Drink choice

Calais: Lavender tea, he drinks it often for the health benefits.

Lucanis: Coffee because we all know this man likes coffee

Spite: Mountain dew, the fuel of gremlins everywhere

Season choice

Calais: Autumn, very fitting for a necromancer I think, he also just likes to bundle up in sweaters and read by the fire so autumn is prime time for him.

Lucanis and Spite: Winter going into Spring, symbolic for new life, emerging from the static state of winter into a newer, warmer world. *just like he did when he left the Ossuary*

------

Big spoon, little spoon choice

I feel like Lucanis is the more protective one and thus would prefer to be the big spoon most of the time, but he does very rarely just want to hide away in Cal's arms as well

Screams over bug/removes bug choice

It depends on the bug but Cal is afraid of spiders and Spite just likes to yell so he joins Cal in solidarity when one is found. Someone come and save Lucanis.

Vanilla/Kinky choice

Y'all i need you to understand how vanilla these two are together. Calais is Lucanis' first, and Cal thinks doggy style is adventurous. Eventually Spite complains enough to Lucanis and they try new things, but they always default to plain old missionary. Someone come and save Spite.

Forgives easily/holds grudges choice

Cal and Spite are two very petty bitches. Different from Spite though Cal is pretty hard to upset, but once he is.. Lucanis i feel is quicker to forgive, but i think any assassin can hold a grudge pretty good too, so more in the middle.

Confident/shy choice

Lucanis is definitely the most shy one, gets flustered when Cal flirts and talks dirty. Spite gets shy when he doesn't quite know what to do, usually when Cal says something sweet to him. Cal is more confident because he has a little more experience.

Contemplating what a modern AU would look like for my Rook and Lucanis

I used to have a Fashion AU for my Inquisitor and the dai crew and I thoroughly enjoyed that setting, so i might continue that angle, but part of me also sees a detective agency setting happen where Neve is head detective and everyone else either works for her or is a contact of hers in some capacity.

Except Lucanis, who is Cal's roommate (oh my god they were roommates), but who leads a double life as a vigilante called the Crow that the Detective agency is hired to find and identify.

Rook as a Companion Banter Episode One: Neve

Not sure how many of these I will do but I wrote a BUNCH of banter with every companion for my own writing challenge so y'all are just gonna have to bear with me or block the tag 'Rook companion banter'

Part 1 (Neve)| Part 2 (Bellara) | Part 3 (Davrin) | Part 4 (Harding) | Part 5 (Taash) | Part 6 (Emmrich) | Part 7 (Lucanis)

Little backstory for this character. His name is Calais Ingellvar, he's a Mournwatcher, and is referred to as a spirit guide, granted the power of a spirit of Mercy who saved him when he was just a baby, before he was found by Vorgoth in the Necropolis.

Cal has the ability to reach into the veil and speak with spirits as if they're standing right there, without them manifesting. He's also a very talented healer due to his empathetic abilities. His left leg was severely injured in the same attack that prompted the spirit of Mercy to save him as an infant, and the injury never healed right. He walks with a cane/staff to help him get around better. He has two pet rats, and is romantically interested in Lucanis.

If you want more details, he has a whole post to himself here!

Calais: “Neve, how about a game?” Neve: “A game? What sort of game?” Calais: “Two truths and a lie. I tell you three things and you have to pick out which is the lie. I played it with Vorgoth all the time.” Neve: “Alright, should be fun.” Calais: “You should be good at this, by all accounts. Being a detective and all.” Neve: “We’ll see if you’re good at lying or not.” Calais: “Oh no, I’m awful. Vorgoth used to beat me at it all the time.”

Neve: “I once solved a case involving a dowager, a dog and a drug dealer.” Calais: “Sure.” Neve: “I only ever eat fried fish.” Calais: “Problematic, but continue.” Neve: *light chuckle* “I like reading historic novels.” Calais: “Ohh, I don’t know. The first one is true?” Neve: “It is.” Calais: “I haven’t seen you read any novels since we got to the Lighthouse.. but I’ve also not seen you eat anything other than fried fish.” Neve: “So which will it be?” Calais: “I’m going with the fish one isn’t true. At least I hope it’s not.” Neve: “You got it. I also eat vegetables. Sometimes.” Calais: “Well, thank the maker for that.”

Neve: “I like to play chess.” Calais: “Oh are we playing again? Hit me.” Neve: “I once staked out a case for a full two weeks.” Calais: “Right.” Neve: “Maybe I don’t hate that Lucanis is introducing me to a richer and more varied diet.” Calais: “Honestly, me too. He is a very good cook.” Neve: “He is.” Calais: “I say the stake out is fake.” Neve: “Right again. I must not be very good at lying.” Calais: “This one was easy. I’ve seen you play chess with yourself and others. And I see you gorging on Lucanis’ food every day.” Neve: “What can I say? It’s good.” Calais: “It is.”

Calais: “I have a spirit grandma.” Neve: *laughing* “What?” Calais: “My father is some kind of eldritch creature potentially thousands of years old.” Neve: “I think I see what’s happening.” Calais: “I once spoke to Andraste herself in a dream.” Neve: “Ohh, this one is hard! I don’t know. The second one is true for sure. The first one could very well be true… but the third one happened to me as well. Hmm..I’m going to go with the first one isn’t true.” Calais: “Is that your final answer?” Neve: “Well that doesn’t bode well. Is the first one true?!” Calais: “Yes it is. Her name is Nana.” Neve: “And the dream of Andraste?” Calais: “It wasn’t a dream. I accidentally took some of Myrna’s special incense and burned a little too much of it. It was.. enlightening.” Neve: “Damn, got me on a technicality!”

Neve: “So what did Andraste say to you? When you burned Myrna’s incense?” Calais: *laughing* “It wasn’t anything interesting, I assure you.” Neve: “Well, I asked, didn’t I?” Calais: “You did. Very well, if you must know, she told me about the dangers of not washing behind your ears before she morphed into a giant mushroom.” Neve: *Snort* “Did she really?” Calais: “She made a very pretty mushroom.” Calais: “I killed a man in cold blood.” Neve: “Confessing your crimes in front of a detective?” Calais: “I grew up lonely and ostracized because I’m weird and don’t fit.” Neve: “Cal..” Calais: “I don’t hate myself for the simple fact I can’t keep up.” Neve: “Let’s not do this.” Calais: “Depression’s one hell of a thing.” Neve: “Now that one I know is true.”

Calais: “Did you eat my chocolate raisins?” Neve: “Oh, those were yours? Sorry.” Calais: “It’s alright. I took some of your anise flavoured treats instead.” Neve: “I thought some were missing. I guess we’re even then.” Calais: “I also took some fish for my rats.” Neve: “Well I knew about that one from the smell.” Calais: *chuckle* “Can’t keep anything hidden from our detective it seems.”
