   Summary

   For an openly practicing necromancer, Professor Volkarin was a man whose existence seemed devoted to making you forget what blood magic he used on corpses.

   Isolde trailed him silently, watching him with as much attention as she gave to scanning the woods for dangers. When Rook had ordered Isolde onto this mission, Isolde hadn’t needed their purposeful, pointed look to know that her assignment wasn’t simply to guide and guard Professor Volkarin through the Arlathan wilderness. The malfunctioning artifact summoning demons too close to Strife’s camp, less than a week after Professor Volkarin had joined their party, was as much an opportunity as it was an obligation. Rook was shrewd; they always had more than one reason for doing anything they did.

   Watch him.

   A dangerous man, witnessed only by a lowly guard, might well give himself away.

   --- 

   A Veil Jumper guard, scarred by a hard life, develops an unexpected relationship with Emmrich during the events of Veilguard. Features mutual pining, slow burn, and a whole lot of touch starvation.
