I was chatting with someone about how I don’t think Tova would ever want to kill Maahes, and that she actually views Maahes as Eastern Thanalan’s ‘guardian.’ Then I mentioned Tova’s respect and love for coeurls in general... which was a mistake, because my internalized Beastmaster!Tova feels escaped.
And now I have a headcanon where Tova was travelling to some incidental location, and a coeurl attacked. Tova responded to it, fighting back but not attempting to kill, just to intimidate, and injure if necessary. And then the coeurl just stops attacking after some time, backing off completely, like it accepted her dominance.
idk guysssss I just feel like Tova would go though lengths to not kill something she didn’t have to, feral territorial threat displays included.
