;loyalty, belonging, and morality
i think about mairwen's grey morality a lot. and how easy it is to push her to do downright evil acts. but only after gaining her loyalty. and she wants so desperately to belong that it's almost easy?
in theory. because while she'll put up with a lot of morally grey stuff, she does have limits.
and she doesn't accept a lot of abuse to herself. kill hundreds of people? ok cool. as long as you're not going to hurt her.
accept her, don't try to control her, don't hurt her, and be honest with her. the rest is window dressing.
betray her and she will destroy you.
