#mind you he'd have a field day with varric

What if... I know Manfred doesn't really like nicknames but what if Rook starts calling him a nickname further into their relationship with Emmrich and maybe it's the only nickname he actually likes

And it's maybe Manfred's way of accepting Rook as part of his family in some way

Imagine how surprised Emmrich would be at that lol
