    Summary

    “I mean, people know lullabies, I suppose. But that one…it’s not quite Mary Had a Little Nug, is it? It’s…a Nevarran song. For Nevarran babies.”
    “Which mine would have been,” Emmrich whispered. “Had I had them.”

    Emmrich shares secrets; Rook indulges a fantasy.

    Summary

    In 9:44 Dragon, Emmrich Volkarin enters an ill-advised affair with one of his students, one he is forced to end when he allows his insecurities about his age to win out over his heart.

    In 9:52, he joins the Veilguard, only to come face to face with the woman he'd desperately hoped he would somehow see again.

    - - - - -

    There hadn’t even been anything to indicate what was coming: Miss Ingellvar had been just another face amongst his students, one of the young up-and-coming embalmers that had the Mourn Watch excited, but she had only been one of many in her year group.

    She had been just another face, until the night she was not.

    Summary

    Emmrich blinks at her, then pulls back from her path with an exaggerated bow. As she continues past, he says, “I don’t know that your attitude is helping our situation.”

    Rook scoffs as she presses a shoulder against a carved stone piece which may have once been a banister. “So sorry. Should I try to be more cheerful?” The stone piece doesn’t move. She pushes back from it, and claps her gauntleted hands. “Oh, what an exciting adventure we are having!”

    “That is not what I mean, Rook, and you know it.”

    “It’s just that…” She can’t meet his eyes. “It’s so fitting. That I would be trapped like this. Today. With you.”

    ===

    Set mid-Tearstone. Spoilers for everything up to the point of no return.

    In the game, Rook and Emmrich have an argument which never really gets discussed after the fact due to Reasons. But what if they were forced to talk things through?
