#rook: Eleanora Laidir

[gingervitus]

Oh man my Rook is coincidentally named Eleanora and I just did the Arrangements companion quest with Emmrich and oh man. She was already standing here looking at him like "I guess you're my dad now because I never knew my real dad."

And now I'm concocting him learning what her real name is and crying.

Hi it's 1 AM and I just completed Inner Demons with my Crow!Rook who isn't romancing Lucanis, and I love them so much. Just a couple of besties trying to save the world.

Also Silvia absolutely left the Cobbled Swan, looped her arm with Lucanis's, and turned to him to say, "Good news, I'm your cousin now. Make sure when we rescue Caterina to let her know she has a new granddaughter. Also don't tell Viago."

Also also do you ever play a game like this where you have that one character who is your personal 'canon' romance for a companion? Because this playthrough was just going to be Lucanis part two the sequel but I just couldn't (also I pictured her flirting with Lucanis just to get a rise out of Viago and Lucanis picks up on this... There's a whole thing in my head).

Anyway, LoF Eleanora 'Rook' Laidir is apparently the canon romance for Lucanis as far as Rooks go and Silvia is now trying to weasel her way into Caterina's will because Illario sucks ass but also she's burying her face in those good good elf TIDDIES instead of getting a sweet dessert). Goodnight.

“Why must you encourage him?” Lucanis responds, glancing over at Rook. It’s less of a question than it is a sigh of a man who has already resigned himself to the fate of mediating such conversations. “He is already a nuisance whenever you come near.” She sucks her cheeks in, hoping they aren't burning as red as they feel. “Cállate , Spite! I'll… I will tell her. You may not.” His head drops and hands still in the basin. A heavy slightly annoyed sigh leaves him. “He says you smell like honey and oranges.”

“Spite, what have we told you about announcing how people smell?” she chides without looking up from the plate she's drying. “Most find it a tad off putting.”

“Me especially,” Lucanis chimes in.

She peeks over to find him averting his eyes, intensely pretending to focus on the dishes in the basin. “That being said, I'm glad you noticed,” she continues. Their arms touch when she leans toward him as if she's talking directly to Spite on his opposite side. It stops his movements dead. “I did wash my hair. Had to get all the blight gunk out of it.”

Hi, friends.

I am so sorry if you followed me here and my interests have now changed, but so is life I suppose.

Anyway, I'm back on my bullshit writing silly things because I became just as obsessed with the Lucanis romance in DA4 as I assumed I would, so here's a little thing I wrote inspired by my very very unserious Lords of Fortune based Rook, Eleanora Laidir, who wants nothing more than to give her Talon a hard time at any given moment and maybe get him to smile.
