Rook is uncharacteristically unyielding when it comes to her name.She has a quip for everything — including multiple that have already made their new necromancer recruit visibly cringe and, on one occasion, mutter a solemn “Oh, Rook, this is serious!” — but when asked, she replies merely, “Just Rook.”And she does so every time. “It’s just Rook.”As a friend, Neve doesn’t care. She meets people with stranger secrets a few times a week in Minrathous, and it’s really none of her business.As a detective, she’s a little curious. If life were less apocalyptic, this side of her might win, but the gods take precedence now. The mystery fades as their journey continues: once a burning question, soon a forgotten factor.—Neve takes a lot of notes. Some of them are about Rook.Scenes & snippets of Neve learning, writing, and falling.
