Post Pictures Of Your Rook

As I said, the idea is basically: Varric ran into Bethany again as he assembled his Solas hunting party. The basic Warden origin works as-is, plus that Rook has a protegé relationship Varric, aquaintance with Harding, and no one else otherwise. As the elder motivates her to carry the torch the way her brother did, mentoring her in being a champion rather than just bitter. Considering that, especially these heart-to-hearts in the lighthouse with Varric really do a number on me - since the general tone for "any" Rook is "I can't do this!" -"you can do this!" I automatically insert "but I'm not like my brother", it's like the two are so close they don't even mention it. You're crying!

PS And yes, DA2 happened to be an incredibly important game in my life. So this is fun for one, but it's actually really emotional for me, too, being able to kind of revisit this family and these relationships I... relate to as much. Shame on you for firing Mary Kirby, BW.
PPS Maybe the weirdest unexpected blessing, this even makes it work flip-flopping between the usually awkward "sarcastic" lines and the diplomatic... sane ones
