tiny animation detail from this scene I really like: rook glances towards the locations of lucanis and bellara's rooms (and possibly where they're most likely to be found in this moment?) respectively when they deliver this line!

(honestly I expect that lucanis is hanging out somewhere other than the pantry during this to give everyone in this unfolding catastrophe some space, but consider: it's so much funnier if he IS sitting in the pantry hearing this all go down on the other side of the wall like

taash stomps in with thunder and trepidation in their eyes like 'hey. I need vegetables. can we make vegetables happen.' and lucanis already handing them a lettuce and tomato like i gotchu fam this is literally the only thing I know how to do for you in this situation go with the maker and these salad ingredients I resignedly already know you'll just put on a plate with no dressing no spices no nothing. just the most sleep deprived caffeinated to the point of vibrating gently in place awkward-yet-painfully-well-meaning man in the world standing there before his friend about to have one of the most difficult conversations of their life like '...can I offer you a turnip in these trying times' while rye desperately treads social water out in the dining room to buy time. amazing. our lives really all do touch each other. headcanon passionately embraced)

#I love this scene honestly. it highlights all the ways taash and shathann struggle to communicate #(they are both people who are so exactly. themselves. for good or ill)#and has so many good 😬 moments for rook like they're watching a traincrash happen depending on how you play it #dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar #taash #lucanis dellamorte #jeff berg's 'then why did you leave' still one of my fave deliveries in the whole game btw. so soft yet so intense #I've been thinking about building out some more parental figures for rye growing up aside from renn (whomst still is DAD don't get me wrong #and I'm thinking a reasonably high-level watcher who rye occasionally gets flashbacks to while talking to shathann...#could add some delicious dimensions to it all haha #like the moment the watchers realized their little crypt baby was a mage there was a mage watcher set to keep an eye on them #because poor renn cannot be expected to deal with all of all of that alone. hello. buddy cop platonic co-parents #making rye into the person he is today (a delight (to me and lucanis in particular) and also deeply deeply neurotic)???#I'm onto something here baby. it takes a necropolis to inadvertantly fuck up a child #hello. lucanis popping his head out from the pantry after shathann leaves and saving rye from having to eat a whole slab of ham #by claiming he is also hungry and could throw something together. true love. partnership. rye clutching him like I owe you my life etc.#also a good thing to imagine taash surrounded by people who love and understand them after that scene #just. it's nice.
