Core Relations"Will you, when I'm gone, remember me?"PetrusUnmapped ConstellationsThe smell of ink; The taste of pineI cannot believe I wasn't home to stop you, or accompany you. And my gods, how the world lost its vibrancy while you were gone. I wish... I wish. I regret. I wanted to die. I did. 「At that moment, nothing else mattered.」 He's got more spunk than that cloak and mask betray. We keep one another on our toes, he and I.  He knows I'm capable, just as I know he is. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't fear one day coming home to those windows dark and the house cold and quiet.MulrathWearied Wayfarer ; Too much left unsaidA distant roll of thunder; The smell of coffeeYou are, you know? Perfect. I don't say that just to say it. I'd not have you any other way. My fretting isn't desire for you to be different, but desire for your well-being. But perhaps there is merit in easing up, as there is merit in what you say, and I would rather heed it. I'll not be an obstacle to the adventures you seek. Perhaps instead, a participant? Even if not as we once were. 「...A life to live freely.」 A rough, gruff, prideful, tender, accepting man. In spite of all things, the affection I hold for him is unlike any other. Perhaps it is because of that very affection, that tie I hold so tightly, that I found myself here in the first place. Afraid, frustrated, and... Whatever comes of it, he's dear to me, and I'll protect him however I can. I will trust him. I want to.HelaraForge Apprentice; PeacemakerSunset; Leaves crunching underfootI know the garden of our friendship has been neglected something terrible. I'm sorry.I think I'm coming out of it, though. Pulling my head out of my ass, as they say. Maybewe can talk soon.Perhaps it could be said about a lot of the people I've befriended, but I'll say it nevertheless: I'd never have expected such an acquaintanceship to blossom into the friendship she and I share now. I feel fortunate to count her among my dearer, most steadfast friends. And even more so to be able to witness those occasional cracks in her demeanor, those sweeter and quieter moments.LassieHeart of the PartyMorning dewI miss being like you. I pray this place doesn't sap you of that strength as it has done to me.Although... your presence does have a blooming, restorative effect. If I can pull myself out ofthis rut, maybe I could match it- and do the same for you in turn. We would be unstoppable.- DrenmirSputtering CandleEmbers.... ... ... Anyway. I’ll spare us all the ramblings of the delightful nuance, and what might or might not be. As for what was, what is, I quite enjoy it. Thank you for being you, Drenmir. And thank you for being my friend. I couldn't have askedfor better company.「...What a silly thing.」 A dear friend, fiercely loyal and forthcoming. Someone I owe a greater debt than even he might be aware of. Someone I’d long held a peculiar curiosity for, and that curiosity shifted over time. This is not new. An odd familiarity, comforting in its strangeness. I suppose there is an easy word for this. 'Hurricane'Dried herbsAn... Enlightening conversation. I'm sorry- not only that you went through that, but for any and all ways I might have lent an unfavorable impression relating to it. You're right, and I will try to do better.I suppose this isn't the strangest origin for a friendship of mine. Strange, not bad. Don't let the prickly exterior fool you; There's a caring little bug under that mask. I regret how I handled those excited attempts to reach out.Raime“Your dedication is admirable. You are an odd young man, but you have some  good folk in your life. You can only help who you can help. You are only mortal.I know the ache, and yet- it is important to mind, for the sake of one’s sanity.” MalikethToo much said; Too much left unsaidMud; Wood smokeIt is no longer a bruise tender to the touch. After it happened, I thought I would strive for reconciliation, but truth be told, I am content. I won't shun it, though nor will I make any active attempt to pursue. Even your forgiveness is as condescending as you've always been, and I need no pity. But we are allies, come what may. I continue to trust your competence in battle. It was... pleasant, to speak again. In spite of things. 「...And should you go before I do, I’ll sing songs of you.」-  General Relations Spoiler General Relations ❖Cadayle | Leofric | Tirza | Sovereign | Adrian | Summers | Cian | Kethron | Keraer | Dante | Satsuki | Miko | Yuna | Myra | Kalibri | Van Pelt | Raime | Morana | Sophia | Kehlani | Kestrel | Falliren | Anwar | Norin | Marguerite | Fita | Corwin | Lantamir | Emilio | Cerys | Gwaine | Diarmait | Reine | Nikephoros | Delroy | Varian | Konrad | Hazel | Penelope | Senia | Dunmore | Perila | Iseri | Caleb | Meat | Avina | Vanyel | Eivor | Thanatos | Harvey | Veena | Sun | Grydda | Magnolia || Locke | Hikaru | Morgan | Drenmir | Leokas | Altheric | Siona | Elion | Elreyna | Hawthorn | Eithna | Parsnip | Anemos | Dia | Azena | Amicia | | Iona | Harwyn | Eibhlin | Etwyn | Bracchus | Seley | Nolune | Sparrow/Poppet | Aeliana | Vyra | Hurricane | Onyx |๑ | Cullen | Hex | JP | Selene | Callista | Rott | Meriel | Thyra | Ana | Delilah | Erebos | Edgard | Idris | Garland |◈☙❧"...Might be just as likely to strike 'em as I am to defend 'em. Their choice, really.""A bit off. Not in the malicious sort of way, but in the dangerously incompetent sort of way."༺ ⋩ ☽ ⸙ Loves, Dears, and Other Noteworthy Connections ⸙ ☾ ⋨ ༻╚ ❀ ╗"Time has tempered our friendship. I find myself largely content to let that remain. I would not turn away your company, for I do miss it. But I suppose not every friendship is meant to be the same. Wherever our time takes us, I know I can count on your keen mind and kind heart."╚ ⚶ ╗"Far be it from me to question such a turn of events. You've been a reasonable enough person, so I trust you have your reasons. You've been a wonderful mentor and friend even in spite of our interactions being few and far between. And while I trust you're a very capable woman, I admit I do hold some concern..."╚ ⤜→ ╗"...No one has ever called me that before. Perhaps I am simply hungry for that camaraderie, and yet- I love the idea of being that with you. I wish we'd taken the time to be closer while the group was still around. Though... the more I hear, the more that image is shattered. I want to speak with you, to know you, tosee for myself. It is a shame, then, that you only make time for one.But anyone with eyes could see it coming."╚  ╗"Another curious fellow. One I'd hoped to learn from, and fight alongside. I respect your efforts amid all this chaos, even if I also mourn the implications. Sorry to disappoint. But I must stand firm on my own boundaries."╚ ❍ ╗"I'm sorry. I could say so much, list the reasons, but it will never undo what has been done. It's times like these that I wish I was better at judging these things, when to pry or when to let things lie. I always seem to fumble when it comes to that. But please know that I am here, should you wish to share those thoughts." ╚ ѻѺѻ ╗"We stay in our own lanes, you and I. At least where the other is concerned. But I see the things you involve yourself with, and the things you do. Overlapping friend circles, and yet- we hardly speak a word. I'm trying to change that with a few others. Maybe it can change with us, too."╚ ⍾ ╗"As ever, your disposition toward me changes with the wind. I'm not surprised, given the company you keep. I know you're still an ally though, push come to shove. Just business, eh? I still stand by my original assessment, despite your- well, spite."╚ ⤜→ ╗"It was a brief thing, and I'm sorry that it tapered off the way it did. Wish I'd reached out more, wish I'd not fumbled. But I'm still grateful for what friendship you and I shared. Part of me never quite expected to relate so closely. Would that we could have spoken more, and about less dreary things. I'm glad to see life has turned around for you. Please take care."╚  ╗"Your notions on honor and magic and trust are a bit difficult for me to swallow, but I trust that won't prevent us from working well together on whatever jobs we take; I know just from hearing the others that we can rely on your loyalty.╚ ❦ ╗"Though barely more than strangers, there's a strangeness in yourpresence that puts me at ease. A lack of judgement, even shouldyou not indulge the antics fully. I like you." ╚  ╗"...Our interactions have been sparse, but we are a part of many of the same circles. I've enjoyed the words we have exchanged, at least. I only wish I had more to offer when you needed them most."╚ ♤ ╗"There's a prickliness about you, that can't be denied, but you've been polite enough with me that I still look forward to each conversation. I think you two get along nicely, too. Stick around, will you? We could get up to great mischief." ╚ ✦ ╗"...What doesn't kill one person may kill another. I suppose I cannot say how you handled - or didn't handle - your own woes. But I can say I am sorely disappointed in how you left him to pick up the pieces. But then again... It's not solely your burden, after all."╚ ⸙ ╗"Well what have we here? A little wayward birdie has landed in my nest. Your timing was fortunate, I very nearly went for a much different approach. Glad I didn't, though. You're a breath of fresh air." ╚ ⦿ ╗"A skittish little thing, though I'm glad to see that seems to have eased up over time. You've settled in and settled down, found your own little nooks and crannies to haunt. I'm sorry that we don't speak much, but I'm glad you have people you can feel safe with. People you'll fight for even though it scares you. That was a mighty brave thing you did, even though I know he sees it otherwise. You both want her safe and sound." ╚ ❀ ╗"Words so infrequently exchanged, but when they are, I find myself feeling comforted by you. Even if nothing close to the chest is discussed. I tend to assume you're busy with your own things, and perhaps you do the same. I'd very much like to visit more, though." ╚ ❦ ╗"I don't really care what you think. Though I understand, if nothing else, the logic behind all your petty barking. I'd say we should just not speak to one another, but I don't think you actually comprehend human language, so you'll probably keep barking anyway. That's fine, I guess. You're annoying, but you're not evil."╚ ☾ ╗"You didn't have to sit with me after your familiar faces left, but I'm grateful you did. I'm sorry that had to be the first conversation we shared. Hopefully... when this is over, when we're all permitted some reprieve, we can share some lighter company as well." ╚ ❃ ╗"You stayed when you didn't need to, didn't want to. I'm sorry, but thank you all the same. I hope that- stars forbid such a time ever come- I will be able to do the same for you." ╚ ⚶ ╗"Words so rarely exchanged, but I feel a gentle tug whenever our paths do manage to cross. Another face that makes me regret how awful I've become about reaching out and maintaining broader connections. I do worry for you, the only solace being that I know you have someone else caring for you... Even still, I want to keep an eye on you Make sure you manage to rest." ╚  ╗"One boss among countless. I'll admit your first impression wasn't a favorable one. But the next, and every time after, has gradually mended that little tear. You're a decent man, I know that much. I suppose I wish we had more opportunity to earn each other's respect and closeness even further." ╚ ☆ ╗"...So heavy-handed and out of sorts with your words that I almost take them as a bloody joke. You're kind when it suits you, that I will not deny. And I want to like you. But the evidence says you simply seek excuses to be ornery, and then blame others when they respond. You try to tell others how to view you, because you know your actions tell a much different story."╚ ☤ ╗"I owe you a great debt, and I won’t go against you too directly on behalf of that. But you, doctor, are… certainly unique." ╚ ⚶ ╗"Whatever. If they trust you, I suppose I do too." ╚ ⟁ ╗"You think you get to decide things like that, eh? Okay. Be careful what kind of precedent you set. Whatever you can do, I promise I can do worse." ╚ ╗"...Sorry. You're not the first to find my energy repulsive. Maybe I can make amends one of these days. If you can stop snarling at me first."╚ ⸙ ╗“We know each other very little, even though our friends overlap plenty. A country bumpkin and a noble. I guess it’s no surprise we never really hold each other’s interest. Perhaps a more passive curiosity. I know you are a kind soul, if nothing else. But sometimes, I must admit, your stiff ways make so little sense to me. Then again… other times, I understand more than I wish either of us did.”「"...He is not the only over-fisher."」╚ ❦ ╗ ╚ ♡ ╗"After all that time, this is how it ends...?" ╚ ⟁ ╗"He will unmake you. And you'd better fucking believe I'll be there to help him do it." ༺ ⋩ ☽ ⸙ ☾ ⋨ ༻╚  ╗"..."╚ ⚑ ╗"..."╚ ☆ ╗"..."╚ ѻѺѻ ╗"..."╚ ╗ ╚ ♡ ╗
