the only thing that brings me more joy than emmrich being SO endearingly peevishly unimpressed with ingellvar pulling watcher 101 platitudes on him as a 'get out of emotional vulnerability free' card is rook's utter cheerful lack of repentance or pretence about doing it

#ask a deep personal question get a deflective answer I'm not quite sure what you expected here; the rye ingellvar story #dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar #emmrich volkarin #rook's ability to say 'lmao no. mortifying ordeal of being known not on the schedule today I'm afraid' in the friendliest #and most interpersonally slippery manner possible... legendary. they tell people 'piss off (no offense)' in such a plethora #of unapologetic yet also weirdly hard to spot and non-confrontational ways.#sort of a 'sorry about that no hard feelings you didn't do anything there's just something deeply wrong with me' energy lol #save me rye rye save me etc. I just need my brain to. not today. I need to. not. so fill it up with gazing upon blorbo #also I have so many feelings/thoughts about the running theme of mourn watchers seemingly having a culture #of quoting pieces they clearly expect to be familiar to both parties as a way of making their points #and creating connection. rook and myrna in the first conversation if you say the necropolis is still their home.#emmrich will slip into poetry sometimes to elaborate on/emphasize something he's expressing in normal conversation #rook does this thing and clearly holds on to the language of the rituals even if you make them more pragmatic #about the role of watcher in general. it's just very extremely cool that these guys have a clear in-universe literary identity #and tradition haha
