Morning Glory, Violet

Morning Glory: what’s is something Rook’s partners could do to make them melt romantically?

Little touches and warmth. It doesn’t take much for him to melt.

(And honestly Lucanis just looking at him a certain way can move mountains with Cayde)

Violet: How comfortable is Rook being naked around others?

Mostly an excuse to draw him shirtless. He’s comfortable being shirtless but not fully naked.

7, 12, or 15 for the OC asks c:

7. How easily and frequently do they ask for help

Rook’s the first to offer a helping hand. If anyone else needs help with anything at all, Rook’s there and ready to get their hands dirty. But they will be dead and buried before they ask for any help themself. They know how much everyone else has going on and they refuse to see their own problems as worthy of being helped. The rest of the team ignores them and helps anyway when they notice Rook pulling this. Rook can’t even pretend to hate it.

Hello! 🌹 and 🥀 from the Rook ask game? ♥️

🌹 What’s the first genuine fight Rook got in with their love interest about? How was it resolved?

So I gotta get into some canon divergence here: I made Neve the Archon Radonis' estranged daughter because I liked that theory(?)

The first ever big fight Rook and Neve had was when Rook showed her the medallion she had kept from her slavers: a snake symbol reserved to the Archon's family. You can probably see where this is going: Neve is the woman who my Rook was assigned to back when she was a slave. Neve not being able to recognize Rook at first accused her of stealing it (outing herself as the Archon's daughter to Rook and confirming her suspicions) and they were cold towards each other up until Rook saved Minrathous.

It resolved when Neve finally realized who Rook was, they were able to sit down and Rook was able to get some answers about Neve's disappearance a few years before Rook was able to escape and join the Wardens.

🥀 What figure from Rook’s personal past would be added to the regret prison?

Spoiler for the "Isle of Gods" quest just in case.

I feel like Neve would be in my Rook's regret prison no matter who you choose to dismantle the wards. My canon playthrough had Bellara be taken away, so Neve would get a separate part where we'd navigate throughout Rook's fear of getting abandoned by her again and about how she's "leeching" over the mage.

@hyperions-light I really loved this prompt! I’m working on something good hopefully! I like to hand write first before typing.

💄 to see them in their going-out attire ~! Date outfit! :D

“W-Wait…going-out attire? Ya mean somethin’ nice? Oh erm uhhh…”

“Hold on a second…lemme see what I can dig up. I know I got somethin’ somewhere..”

“’Fraid this is the best I got. It’s a sweater my Ma knitted for me, she’s pretty good!”

“It used to be white…’til I mixed it with my red shirt in the wash. Ma is gonna kill me…”

[Thanks for the ask @dennydraws!]

The Hermit for the tarot ask game :)

(A wisp brings a page from Rook’s Journal. Probably a page he wouldn’t want anyone else to see)

Rook: sketching keeps my mind busy.

Ooc: there’s a reason why Rook journals and sketches and when he isn’t he’s sparring or training. He doesn’t like being alone with his thoughts.

justice and the devil for the rook asks!

(the wisps have yet again stolen pages from Rook's journal) Justice: How does Rook feel about the circumstances that led to them leaving their faction? What does returning feel like?

Rook: I caused 3k in property damage but stopped a bunch of darkspawn...a win is a win This is how returning went: (a sketch of Rook punching out the First Warden) Davrin greatly approves Lucanis greatly approves The Devil: What type of demon is most likely to target Rook? Why?

(a sketch of Rook and Spite) Rook: hey Spite Spite: ROOK is MINE NO ONE touches MY ROOK (underneath Rook actually answers this) to answer this: probably Despair. I'm aware that I have enough of it in my past it can draw from. (Lucanis writes underneath) I am not letting that happen (then Spite) Me too.

for the tarot thing, how about Wheel of Fortune and/or The Devil?

(the wisps bring yet another page from Rook's journal) The Wheel of Fortune: Describe an interesting character moment for your Rook. What made this moment stand out to you?

(a sketch of Rook and Lucanis) Opening up to love again. (OOC: when Rook kept on saying hand puns. It changed my brain chemistry. He's so goofy)
