Not really related, but the thought of Thalassa hanging out with Dhurke and Datz has crossed over with that whole convo about Tibetan marriage traditions, and now I’m imagining Dhurke all curious like “You had to run away with Jove, you couldn’t just add him on with your previous two husbands?”
“Well, you see, they were assholes,” Thalassa says, having considered correcting the idea that she was in a dysfunctional threeway marriage with Zak and Valant and then deciding no, ok, she kind of was
Listen, I so badly want Thalassa to hang out with Dhurke and Datz, mostly Dhurke, just like, in general, so the unrelatedness of this is not a concern in the slightest.
Except I don’t really have anything to add. This is just, so good. Thalassa just sort of accepting yeah, you know what, even if it wasn’t technically that, it was basically emotionally that, and Dhurke’s misconception has probably still given him a better understanding of what the Troupe was like than if she tries to correct them.
Datz is later like “wait, you can’t be married to more than one person at a time in America” and Dhurke’s like “but consider that everything else she has told us about the Troupe makes it apparent that they skirt the boundaries of legality, and also common sense and morality but those aren’t as related to this particular point” and Datz is like “okay yeah that’s true”
