how I like to imagine lucanis is feeling about being dragged along to the grand necropolis every other day in this playthrough... it's about the duality of
all the walking dressed up skeletons and other assorted body parts strewn around: undeniably kind of bad and creepy. how the fuck is it so cold and windy down here all the time rook is just a slip of a thing how are they not shivering constantly. should I get him a nice warm scarf or would that be against his sense of swag as a watcher I am currently being made to think way too much about spirit possession (these weirdos seem to think it can be benign???? it does NOT feel benign). someone might have worked very hard to get those bones to lie still and dead on the ground it seems disrespectful to that hard work to make the bones get back up again and dance a jig like this. is all I'm saying
vs.
hearing rook speak to spirits and wayward wisps with kind calm authorativeness and care and generally show a whole new side of competence and knowledge they've kept close to the chest so far: ...this better not awaken anything in me (challenge failed)
(rook who's anxiously trying to gauge if the skeletons are going to be a dealbreaker fondly reminiscing 'oh I had my first kiss over there by the van markham mausoleum from the latter part of the steel age actually' and lucanis having to admit 'this does explain some things about you'. there must be some kind of comfort in feeling like you're too removed from the normal human experience anymore to connect with someone only to find that the person you're growing a terrible crush on had barely ever seen the sun until the age of like 34 and thinks this place is the height of normalcy. lucanis' broody line where he's like 'I only know death' and ingellvar both meaningfully and amusedly raising their eyebrows like 'yeah? uh-huh? please, say more' fhdskjaf. i'm sorry you've had your freak matched lucanis I'm sure it's a bit disorienting but we'll figure this out together yet. two little death dudes sitting in a tree k i s s i n g and also trying to figure out the 'life' part of things together)
#one of those things that's explained by this#is how completely unfazed rook is about hanging out with (flirting with? ARE they flirting? it's hard to tell)#with an abomination. so you know some definite upsides here too lmao#one of his main complaints to emmrich is that it's disheartening to put that much work into killing someone#only for someone to come waltzing along and make them get back up again. his priorities remain unparalleled#rook coming in with 'we also use the skeletons for fighting sometimes' in his little shit voice and emmrich going#'rook!!' like a scandalized mildly disappointed teacher and/or parent. this is everything what a dynamic#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#rook ingellvar#lucanis dellamorte#rookanis#rook x lucanis#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#the reason rook isn't shivering is that the watcher robes are canonically padded and layered to hell and back probably#but they wouldn't say no to a nice scarf if it matched their outfit and came with some sentimental attachment either lol#rye is like... they're really friendly. and INCREDIBLY hard to actually get to know haha#I think lucanis has both the eyes and patience for it tho#this is an unspeakably self-indulgent post I realize but literally what am I here for fadskj#if we get a dragon age every tenth year now I have to unleash my full myselfness while I have the chance
