Has there been a past relationship where the ROs had to change or adapt in order to make things work? What did that experience teach them about compromise?
Ectorius: Definitely with Eranthe when they were still godlings. They just met each other, and still figuring out what's okay and not. There was a lot of talking, Eranthe especially, about wanting their relationship to be and what boundaries being set, because at the time Ectorius wasn't the most... splendid deity out there, so he had to change his mannerisms and learn some manners. Consent is something he something he strongly goes by now, all because of her.
Nakia: There was this child she had to take care of (and discipline) in the monsatery once; an orphan one of the senior priests took in. Nakia wasn't a huge fan of kids, so she never really knew how to handle them nor learned to be patient with one, especially to a toddler that is a bit too rambunctious in her eyes. She was quickly (and harshly) taught about the importance of patience when taking care of children and how discipline isn't simply just punishment. She wouldn't admit that she grew fond of the child during that time. Tears will come if she does.
Faisal: I can't really say, since Faisal has always been the compromising type in all the relationships he has and had.
Lilith: Her own mother. Lilith was the child that never listened amongst them and their four siblings when she was younger, so it always lead to arguments with their mother. It changed when the two of them went on a little trip to one of their summer homes, just the two of them by her father's request. "To try and mend the relationship", he had said. With few servants, and the endless blood sea in this little mansion, what else is there to do besides sending glares and sneers? They talked. And played Knuckstones by the beach (Lilith always lost). Laughed together for the first time. Then apologies came. It was... an experience, to put it lightly.
