rook hunt as a caregiver yes yes yes i need!! <3🕊️
Rook is my favourite from the game I love him so much! But he kinda scares me-- he's so hard to read, you might worry he wouldn't like you anymore if he found out you regressed. But Rook remains patient with you as ever, and if you would be brave enough to confess to Rook that you regress, you might be surprised to hear he knows. Rook had seen you regress a few times-- but he recognized you hadn't wanted to share this intimate part of yourself yet, and were particularly sensitive in this state. Unlike teasing Roi de Leon or Roi de Dragon, Rook knows you wouldn't be able to handle teasing and gossip about this secret, even if he meant it lightheartedly.
Rook doesn't want to cause you distress. And if you ever feel like you need a helping hand or a guardian while little, you can ask Rook! He wouldn't mind helping his trickster out.
Just be warned you've got to deal with a few rules. Just a few, he won't overextend his role.
You mustn't cuss while small. It's rude, and not very nice.
Ask Rook for help when you want to use scissors, a knife, or cook in the kitchen. Rook doesn't want you to get hurt.
And lastly, on school nights, you must go to bed by ten at the latest. This is a rule for when you're big too-- consistency with routine makes it easier for you when you're not as big.
Those are all the rules Rook has for you, and you should be able to follow them-- they're not particularly hard, and they're reasonable requests from a caregiver.
This isn't a rule, but you're expected to wake up, make your bed, and go to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Now, granted, depending if you regress in the morning or plan your regression, this might be very easy, or very difficult. This is why Rook checks in on you every morning to see how you're coming along. If you're big, it shouldn't be hard to just greet the vice-leader of the dorm with the morning text. If you're small, and struggling with tasks, you can just ask Rook for help through text, and he'll come by shortly to help.
Rook makes sure you're getting frequent, small snacks when you're small. Getting a small child to sit still for a full-sized meal can be hard, especially when there are so many rules you have to follow at the table. Snacking can be easier for you. So he keeps various packets of meat jerky for you to snack on. If you're vegetarian or vegan, Rook will keep exclusively fruit snacks for you, and a smoothie pouch. You don't have to eat the snacks if you don't want them, but you should always speak up to Rook if you want a snack.
Rook likes to play dress up with you, and he likes to play games like tag.
Tag makes sure you're exercising, and you can feel the thrill of chasing him! He's quite hard to catch, and he won't take it easy on you even if you're small! He might allow himself to be "tricked" if he spots you trying to hide behind corners to tag him. His tendency to gloat and taunt danger has gotten him caught multiple times. Rook always praises you for learning how to be such a good hunter!
And if you're too small or clumsy for tag, or you can't run, Rook likes playing dress up. You can use whatever makeup, ribbons, stickers, scarves, and such to dress up Rook how you please. And Rook will do the same to you. His is always a bit more tactful than you can accomplish as a little, but he doesn't tut when you use your fingers in your eyeshadows. He just makes sure to sanitize them afterwards, so the product isn't ruined by the oils in your fingers. And he lets you pick out the stickers he buys: Pearl stickers, rhinestones, or shiny stickers of pets.
Rook doesn't mind watching over you if you want to play by yourself. It doesn't require him to do as much, so he might start on his homework, but he's still going to make sure you don't run off and get hurt, or upset yourself.
