Went looking for unrelated screenshots and now my bones hurt. The worry in his eyes. He's so miserable. IM now miserable.

Every time I think about the difference between Mourn Watch and Non-Mourn Watch Rook in regards to Emmrich, I lose my mind

The rites in his first scene, for one, where if you don't have the MW option your Rook just sits there and goes..... uh. spirit...? hi??

And then in his description of those rites he has to COMPLETELY dumb it down, and hearing Emmrich explain anything in layman's terms is incredibly funny

Then he explains his childhood; (Spoilery spoilers from here)

MW Rooks have a moment of solidarity and everyone else has a moment of... What the fuck?! They put an ORPHAN WHERE?! and he has to reconsider his very life choices because . Why am I being glared at for being basically raised by skeletons.

And THEN in his second scene in the Necropolis, he's gathering flowers for the dead, as he says, and he's explaining the concept of lichdom, and the contrast there is priceless;

Mourn Watch Rook (Though with Cyvin I did romance him, so perhaps it's different again outside of that) will ask questions specifically about being a lich- even if its scary, Emmrich will explain it in a rather good amount of detail, and they converse about worries and fears and such. He goes on to continue explaining for several more lines.

And then.... And then my dear sweet Grey Warden. She doesn't even know what a lich IS never-mind what it does, and so Emmrich is essentially like., "Hi! I have the opportunity to warp myself into an undead!" She's like "I'M SORRY?"

She's been traumatised. Clearly. Never sleeping again. He doesn't even explain the ins and outs of it if you don't share in his knowledge.. perhaps for fear of traumatising you further?

But then she asks very simple questions in very simple terms like she's trying to get him NOT to do this instantly . Because the idea's scared her off so much, while a mourn watcher goes through and asks questions much more calmly

And obviously she wouldn't know ins and outs because she's not a Mourn Watch? I simply thought seeing Non-MW! Rook after my Cyvin was very funny <3 Ellorena you don't know what ghosts are and that's very dear to me

(Also the fact that they put this much detail into different faction reactions at all is very nice... I love you Mourn Watch <3)
