#spite demon

Zevran: So, we were discussing your romantic liaison with Rook, yes?

Lucanis: (heavy sigh)

Zevran: When the pitter-patter of tiny Crow’s feet arrives--

Lucanis: (splutters) We are a little busy saving the world, Zevran!

Zevran: Oh, I agree, but one must think ahead.

Lucanis (Spite): Tiny blades. Tiny cloaks. Teach them. Hunt.

Zevran: See? The spirit understands.

Lucanis: This isn't-- we don't--

Like, Rook had been missing for WEEKS, Lucanis says he thought he'd never see them again. He's terrified of losing them and will repeatedly say that if he has to kill a god to be with them, he'd do it in a heartbeat!

Spite probably feels this way too. Rook is his favorite, they open doors, he trusts them above all others, they actually like him. Spite wrapping his wings around Rook is like an embrace. A way of showing how much both he and Lucanis missed them, how afraid they are that Rook is going to disappear again.

A quick, silly, colourful artwork before I dived into lineart hell for the next five hours lmao

I interpreted this one as Lucanis stuck in his head/the ossuary always falling back to memories of blood magic and receiving Spite. While Rook is continuously trying to bring him back to the here and now showing not only him but Spite as well who they really are.

"Do you really bleed if it washes away?"

I did a little animation of Lucanis because I loved Bite Marks and I kept thinking about how he definitely fit perfectly in Katarina's place.

Our circus assassin deserved to do more acrobatics in the game!
