Summary
For an openly practicing necromancer, Professor Volkarin was a man whose existence seemed devoted to making you forget what blood magic he used on corpses.
Isolde trailed him silently, watching him with as much attention as she gave to scanning the woods for dangers. When Rook had ordered Isolde onto this mission, Isolde hadn’t needed their purposeful, pointed look to know that her assignment wasn’t simply to guide and guard Professor Volkarin through the Arlathan wilderness. The malfunctioning artifact summoning demons too close to Strife’s camp, less than a week after Professor Volkarin had joined their party, was as much an opportunity as it was an obligation. Rook was shrewd; they always had more than one reason for doing anything they did.
Watch him.
A dangerous man, witnessed only by a lowly guard, might well give himself away.

A Veil Jumper guard, scarred by a hard life, develops an unexpected relationship with Emmrich during the events of Veilguard. Features mutual pining, slow burn, and a whole lot of touch starvation.

Summary
Consecutive vignettes showing in-between moments that explore the developing relationship between Emmrich and Rook, linear to the plot of Veilguard.
Emmrich dreams of the sound of his name being called, or the simple knowledge that there is someone who cares for him in the next room. It should be a relief from vivid nightmares of his mortal demise, but it is not. His heart breaks upon awakening.
Because it all dissipates with cruel rapidity when he opens his eyes to the weak light and is again a lonesome speck, sighing stale air in a cavernous hall of countless dead.
