Eva

The lily means…

On either the friendship or low approval route, he ultimately stays in his comfort zone: he gets in, uses the Inquisition in accordance with his plan, and gets out. A lot of his relationship-building can be thought of as him just testing people or concealing who he is. He does still undergo significant changes in his worldview in response to his connection with the Inquisitor, but this version is largely consistent with the picture of him as an elite, prideful trickster figure.

But on the romance route it's very different. Falling in love with the Inquisitor is a monumental fuck up and it is also a very deeply human one. You get a much clearer sense of him just trying to figure everything out and stumbling and losing control of his plans. At Crestwood you can see him realise in real time that there's no graceful way out of the situation he's created and he handles it very poorly and it's all just extremely realistic and sympathetic to me.

My toxic trait is starting things that require way too much work to finish. Anyway, here's a WIP. His head is the size of the tip of my pinky when zoomed out.

Finished commission, with Solas and Ilmare Lavellan for @sh00kspeared.
