[ neve had asked rook to meet her in the kitchen today for a lesson in the ways of tevinter. there was a soiree coming up in the next few days that neve was planning to attend — she'd already sent a positive response to her invitation; the rub came with the required plus 1, but that was where rook came in.
she'd asked him to accompany her for several reasons.
1) because she was beginning to trust him, as frightening a proposition as that was. 2) because he had a charm about him that got info out of the most unlikely places. 3) because this is tevinter and a lot of altus will speak to someone they think is a slave, someone they don't view as "person" enough to worry about what they say.
she hates it, but it's the truth, and she'd told rook as much when she made the request. but now she has to teach rook how to dance, tevinter-style.
so, here she is with some coffee on the table — and tea, if that's what he prefers — and she offers a soft smile as he pushes open the doors to the kitchen. lucanis is in treviso for the day, so they have the place to themselves. he had sneakily left coffee for her before he had left; she makes a mental note to thank him when he returns. ]
Thanks for agreeing to this, Rook. I know it isn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but if I can get this relic off the streets, all of Minrathous will be better off for it.
