Devotion.

For Day Four - Weapon/Demon/Talon of Lucanis Week.

I thought that Taash would have the worst handwriting out of all the Veilguard members but then I reconsidered, because. Taash' mom is a scholar and she has a high standards for her child; there's no way that she would allow Taash to write illegibly (no matter Taash' actual opinion on this).

So, in fact, Taash has amazing handwriting. Probably on par with Emmrich (a scholar who worked very hard to fit among Nevarran elites) and Lucanis (rich as fuck guy from important Antivan family and with Caterina for a grandmother).

But then, what about the rest?

Well, Davrin is a Grey Warden. He probably had to write reports of the shit he has seen and done. Reports that need to be read by people later. Same with Harding, she spent years with Inquisition, so even if her writing wasn't that great at the beginning, it definitely was legible by the time of the Veilguard.

Bellara? Well, she's a scientist and we know the stereotypes about their handwriting. But the thing is, Bellara obviously publishes stuff, both scientific and her novels. She also regularly corresponded with other scientists, including Emmrich. Ergo, her writing is legible. Maybe not fancy calligraphy but it looks nice. Granted, her notes might be kind of haphazard and written in shorthand, but she absolutely cleans them up before showing to anyone.

Which leaves Neve. The detective of Dock Town, who lives on fish sticks and bad coffee. The quintessential crime noir character.

Did I find the most perfect couple for references to draw Nevcanis from? Yes I did.

Does it mean I’m getting so much more practise in? Yes it does.

I love how Lucanis just goes, "Yeah," when Bellara suggests that Neve could kick his ass. No flexing. No posturing. No need to argue. Just pure respect partner juice.

I know I keep repeating myself, but...

Note: those were ripped directly from the game files, as they aren't included in the OST. You can also listen to them in this playlist on PinkyJulien's Youtube channel or in this playlist by Slow Walkthroughs.
