Development!! Development!!!

S'ria and I both are excited to see her break free of what's been holding her back.

A quiet vigil with Jullus

[snow-system-wol]

Yes !!!

Yes!!!!

🥺

They'll look after you 👍

I love seeing the moment a characters development arc truly starts to Go

Oh don't say it like that, he'll think you're blaming him

[snow-system-wol]

Sibling moments -- this is very much their dynamic. S'ria is supportive, sometimes in ways that she feels embarrassed to accept, but it's always appreciated.

Nice! :D

Friendship ended with Zero out of jealousy -- S'ria is miserable in this weather, as is typical

I love how Jullus had his time letting the twins force emotional development onto him, and now he's just returning the favor to someone new

(S'ria is of course like. No that's our voidsent!!)

S'ria has had a long time to heal, to think about trauma, to see kids the Rogues have rescued that don't have words to explain themselves. He understands the difficulty of it.

So while he would not bring it up or push her, he expects that "anger" is an insufficient way to describe her feelings, but that she doesn't have the emotional range yet to identify complex reactions.

He has not seen Alisaie and Alphinaud in a few months... They turned 20, he should expect them to have started their adult group spurt but gods are they catching up fast.

Best of luck, Zero

Ah... Well, game accuracy I suppose -- that is how suddenly hostile S'ria looks when Zero brings him up.

Perhaps it's best not to try

S'ria's feelings exactly. He'd been keeping it to himself, as a courtesy, but I do think he'd finally explain to her here that bringing up Zenos with no warning was upsetting and he'd like her to either ask first or wait for someone else to mention him.

[snow-system-wol]

Ah, the return of the friend question...

I think S'ria would hate this piece of dialogue so very much. (And the phrasing is a bit...) He doesn't dislike her desire to understand, and is sympathetic that she learned social concepts in such a wrong way, but... He's absolutely resentful that it keeps putting him in these conversations he does not want to be having.

I think that her sharing/confirming any of Zenos's internal feelings is what he hates most.

Absolutely not.

(it wasn't "for S'ria", really, just for himself)

[snow-system-wol]

S'ria would pick the second one for sure -- when you've gotten weak and hungry, you can be kinda nauseous, so anything else sounds too heavy.

What an odd yet wonderful thing to wake to

🥺

S'ria wonders if he'd have the same sense of morals as a voidsent, but it's not something he could really predict or know.

He respects that Zero has these reservations.
