for NPC ask gimme hraesvaelgr ! how do you feel about the dragon !
Oof! This one's a difficult one for Zoissette. Being Ishgardian, she is cagey about dragons at the best of times. She only tolerated the mission of peace to Hraesvalgr's summit at Alphinaud's behest. She was surprised by what she found, though. Instead of another rancorous beast like his brother, she instead found a creature so steeped in grief that it almost beggared belief. A grief that she recognized she could not identify with, that the experiences of this great wyrm were simply beyond her. To her, he seemed stuck in one moment, for eternity. As she dealt with Nidhogg and encountered Tiamat, she began to believe that was simply the way of dragons, that their strongest feelings crystalized in their past, and they could find no way past them. The moment when he chose to assist the Lady Iceheart notwithstanding. He would go on to prove her wrong. Perhaps it was Ysayle's influence and conviction. Mayhaps it was at the behest of his sire, Midgardsormr. But at the time of reckoning, the dragon showed his mettle, and perhaps saved all of Ishgard. Some of the ways of dragons are still beyond her, it seems; perhaps they change and grow and learn the same as anybody else, just on time scales she can scarce imagine. She can't quite bring herself to forgive him for his inactivity in the war over the centuries, however, even for his decision to aid his brother. However, neither can she condemn him. For it was his family that had been wounded, and perhaps, he thought he had found something approaching justice for a time. She does not condone, nor is it what she would do, but she understands. Also being powered by the dragon's eye was some kind of exhilaration, do dragoons just feel that all the time? Sweet Halone what a rush.
