Mēshat and Logē and Fēram are SO fucking lucky that Kaelía doesn’t inflict bloody revenge on them like she does on Gētnyx and like she so badly wants to. So fucking lucky

I don’t have an actual scene for this but I was listening to a podcast about tug of war last night so let’s all just imagine. The Initiates play tug-of-war as part of their training. Teams picked by random draw, but since there’s an odd number of them (9) Zhe’ārani’s team always has five and the other team has four because Zhe’ārani is significantly smaller and lighter than most of them and they try to balance out the weight somewhat. Losing team has to do a hundred pushups or something, there are no horrific consequences for losing (I mean. A hundred pushups sounds horrific to me but these people can handle that and it just kind of sucks and is not torturous). They all genuinely have fun and it’s a good team-building game and to be good at it you have to be strong in a lot of different muscle groups so it’s good for training. Fēram heard that the military does it for those reasons which is why he added it to their training even though on first glance it seemed to him like a silly children’s game.

Fēram is also a Sūl, btw

13 - Do they have multiple handlers? Which one is their favorite? Which one sets them less at ease? 16 - Do they have a person they care for? Is it someone they are supposed to protect or is it in spite of orders? 17 - Do they have a squick in their job? Something that bugs them (like blood under their nails) or pisses them off?

for guodei + someone else of your choice :)? maybe zhe'arani

13.

Guodei: Is technically subordinate to any godsworn of Corysecli, but in practice to Gētnyx, Mēshat, Logē, and Fēram, since other godsworn are posted elsewhere. Her orders always originate from Gētnyx, but unless Gētnyx feels like it's especially important they'll often come through Mēshat. If Gētnyx and Mēshat are occupied with Vessel things they'll come through Logē or Fēram instead. She's most comfortable with Mēshat out of familiarity.

Zhe'ārani: Also subordinate to any godsworn of Corysecli + Guodei. Her orders usually come through Guodei, since when they are godsworn themselves and stationed somewhere else, orders from the Vessel will always be sent through the cohort's Lieutenant. Before the Incident she is most comfortable with Guodei and it sets her really on edge if Gētnyx wants to talk to her directly for more than a few minutes.

16.

Guodei: Kaelía. As Kaelía's Lieutenant she is supposed to protect it, but she is not supposed to have favourites, and Kaelía is clearly her favourite. There is also, of course, little Qonai; one of the things that push her over the edge is wanting to protect Qonai from becoming like her.

Zhe'ārani: Qatriong is her very best friend, which is fine with everyone until she deserts because of it.

17.

Guodei: Doesn't like the feeling of blood slowly drying on her skin. It's gross. She showers as soon as possible after anything that involves getting herself covered in blood. Also shoving her claws really deep into a body because that's like Qonai.

Zhe'ārani: All of it haha. The religious stuff is against her beliefs. The "magically overriding people's free will" stuff makes her very uncomfortable morally. She is dreading the eventual murder stuff.
