Uhm i know this kind a strange request but can you do a short about Tormod being branded(I know it's been disproven but its one of PoR & RD plotholes as far as i'm concern, they never stated the Why, When, Where and How of Tormod and Muarim relations). so a short about Tormod brand manifesting on his hand during his meeting with Macaiah, where Macaiah, Sothe, Muarim and Vika try to calm a panicking Tormod. Tormod is a Lion Branded and is Soan's family... just to make a familial connection.
The PoR book that came out like awhile ago implies that Tormod was from the noble house that enslaved Muarim but the house fell into ruins, which I personally don’t like but it’s something. Also, Tormod and Muarim are legit one of my fave FE characters.
(I also changed it a tad bit where Tormod knows he’s branded since iirc brands are permanent)
Having raised Tormod from a young age, Muarim doesn’t care what his little one is
He does take great precautions in making sure Tormod’s brand isn’t discovered
Tormod’s absurd stamina and above average strength is a clear sign of his brand coming from a lion
With most of the laguz having been born into captivity, none of them know the scent of a branded, so it isn’t too hard
But when Tormod receives a wound revealing his brand and runs into the woods to hide, Muarim rushes after him
He panics when he sees others near Tormod, ready to transform before he recognizes them as allies
Sothe tries calming down Tormod but it takes Micaiah revealing her own brand to get him anywhere near talking
Vika stays to the side, realization dawning on her of the warning in her brain trying to tell her about the brands
Muarim goes to speak to Vika but she ends up trying to calm Tormod down
Vika reminds Tormod that no matter what, he’s still the boss
They all disperse when they notice Muarim, realizing that they need their space
Muarim embraces Tormod in a hug before consoling him
Thankfully by that point, Tormod is much better and his breathing has slowed down
Tormod still knows better than to show his brand or to talk about it
He still feels ashamed at anyone besides Muarim knowing, but he feels a but better knowing his friends still accept him
