don’t mind me, I’m just thinking about Emmrich Volkarin and how he’d propose. It’s panicked due to having been rushed. He wasn’t expecting to actually get the rights to moving forward with being a Lich so soon. There’s no way he’d be able to move beyond unless Rook was *his*. He uses a ring that belonged to his mother. She would have passed it along to him to propose anyways, as per Volkarin tradition. The heirloom wasn’t properly polished. He would have gone back to his parent’s graves, told them excitedly. Once he’s a Lich, a LORD of the Necropolis, he’d proudly stand by Rook, his Lady, his wife.
For mortal Emmrich, it would be before the final ascent to Elgar’nan. “Darling, we need to get married.” “Oh? And when would we have our nuptials done? After defeating that hurlock?” “Why not?” “Wait, what??” And then “Ah perfect! Young Master Parvus. Surely, you have some kind of authority as a magister to marry us since we are in Minrathous.” The Inquisitor is all for it, to the horror of Dorian, as it would mean that Inqy absolutely skims through the parts of his letters that talk about the details on how the magisterium works. They are married. Whether it is actually official or not, it doesn’t matter. The world is ending and they need to go stop it. But as a married couple. One of the first things he’d do when returning to the Necropolis (besides consummating the marriage asap), is to go to his parents. He’d say that he can’t wait for the day all of their souls would be on the same side of the Veil together. That they saved the Veil together.
