Freya and Holt has such an interestingly contrasting influence on Talia.
Freya's heart guided her and she would never refuse to oblige despite the woes that would bring her. And she calls it right.
Holt tells Talia that when she left her father to his war, that was the right thing, all she would've gotten is a broken bond and the order being implicated in a war of men. She knows not to be guided by her emotions and loyalties and does the most reasonable and responsible thing given the circumstances, and calls it right.
And the delicious part and something i appreciate Miller for doing here, is that if Talia Fynn Freya and Holt were faced with an injustice, Freya and Holt are the likeliest to agree on a course.
#freya (soc)#holt cook#talia agravain#Freya is the angel and Holt is the devil on Talia's shoulder.#and both are important yes#I want to pick the clear dissimilarities: Freya is in tune with her heart- she'll free the girl and stand up to the weak without a fuss#Holt calls it foolish- he is so detached from his heart's working. when he does something foolishly kind he goes insane wondering#what was wrong with him. he sees it to the end without looking back anyway.#from saving a discarded egg just because it ought to be saved to limping crippled by pain to defend the ones who harmed#the city's defenses just because his heart said ''they ought to be defended''#parallels#songs of chaos
