A reasonable one

[spitesrook]

another perk of being a Shadow Dragon - knowing extra facts about magisters (edit: it’s a hc, Rook only recognizes Dorian in the game itself)

bonus:

Communal getting ready moments and a camping cuddle pile, cause I've been itching to draw more moments of Rook with everyone in scenes we don't get to see in game.

More thoughts I had under the cut!

Bathing: I like to imagine that every culture/region has slightly different bathing practices. Dalish clans probably have to bathe communally out of necessity, while in Tevinter there are bath houses just for mages/ humans and it gets less hierarchical in a place like Dock Town. In Origins you can find stand alone baths but mainly I spotted them in the upper caste homes in Orzammar and human homes in Denerim. Since Nevarra is a wealthier city, on large part due to the Necropolis, I imagine individual bathing (and maybe plumbing) would be more commonplace.

Braiding Hair: Harding's hair changed a lot from Inquisition to Veilguard, and I think it makes the most sense that she would pick up different techniques during her traveling. Rook has a style they can do on their own, but doesn't mind the help. While Taash's style is simple and easy to do on their own, but the length alone means having other's help makes the process all the easier. And of course Taash would be thinking about how to get more gold and jewels into everyone's wardrobe. They know a guy.

Elf Camping Trips: Bellara notices that Rook always listens intently whenever she or Davrin bring up their clans, but won't ask them about it unprompted. When Davrin heard Rook tell Emmrich they didn't want to be perceived as a 'flat ear' by asking too many questions, he decided to make sure the three of them could have regular camping trips. Davrin talks about Dalish tracking methods and repairing the Aravels (how he started whittling) while Bellara cooks traditional Dalish food and tells the various versions of Dalish stories she's collected. Both Bellara and Davrin are far more used to being outdoors due to their professions and growing up Dalish. Poor Rook can't keep up with them (but tries to) and always ends up going to sleep first.

Had my meeting with my advisors. It was, indeed, very depressing. So I finished this to force out a trickle of serotonin in my brain.

It's not a cure, but it certainly helps.

PS yes, it's quite blurry, sorry about that. I literally just drew it in one long strip and didn't think about the consequences.
