God.....writing a veilguard fic but alternating between Dawes and Harding is so . much . She's out here contacting companions and then going, hm, maybe they can help Dawes grieve. Lemme just nudge them to take him out to chat and bond and maybe he'll be able to process that huge thing he's been in denial about.
And she's out here bonding with companions too and seeing Rook through their eyes and becoming fast friends and building her own little family and trying trying TRYING to get Dawes to do the same and open up and my god he's resistant. He's Rook cos he takes everything in straight lines and brute forces his way through problems and tries to solve everything with violence for a better part of the story. She and all the companions attribute it to Cope but he's just like that!!!
God I'm so fucking CRAZY!!!
