#epelrook

Guess who gave up on a full illust? Anyways, I love RookEpel so much. There’s something about Rook unknowingly earning Epel’s respect/admiration/envy solely based on his physique and now ex-Savannaclaw student. It’s the way Epel would shyly try to spy on Rook’s routine and Rook entertaining it (feigning ignorance) cause maybe it’d help get Epel more accustomed to Pomefiore! Rook would confront Epel with a tight smile if Epel ever crosses a line, then lead him elsewhere (or take him to Vil). Also, tsundere Epel because admitting he looks up to Rook is embarrassing (and wants to spite Vil).
