He gets updates.

They're sporadic at best, but he gets the broad strokes of what is going on in the world and in the world of Rook. The last paragraph of each update is a shred of something he might be interested in, something that may keep his head steady, especially when it toils and fumbles, finding himself staring up into a light that surely does not exist.

Well - the one that would know has taken a different path. Varric settles, leaning against something he could consider far too plush, but it helps the ache in his shoulder, the crick in his neck. The good doctor, possibly the most accomplished of his time, had not written off lichdom but rather a choice - a weighty one, but a choice all the same.

A choice of eternity, in both. As the good professor's mortality was never truly at risk. Eternity was a far-stretched hand, someone still uttering your name long after they were gone. Something the pair had in common. Emmrich would be famous for good deeds, works, and raising someone to be a good citizen, to make a choice for themselves, to make a choice of change.

Well, the world needs more light.

You never die when someone is still out there talking about you, thinking about you, praising you.

It's just a different kind of life.
