continuing my Xalatath\Locus ex-partnership headcanons i'm gonna refer to Locus-walker as Locus cause it simpler ok?ok.

It seems to me that Locus almost accidentally got his hands on her, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. Considering that he is one of the few void-Ethereals that can resist and control the abyss and its whispers, he quickly recognized that the Blade would want to manipulate him. But his interest in forbidden knowledge and the power of the Void that is hidden in her (he probably pulled some huge tricks, since half the cosmos and Legion turned on him), did not let him to get rid of the blade immediately.

So it's an interesting dynamic, where two cosmic megaminds try to outplay each other, knowing that both of them only need specific things and power from each other. But alas, no matter how clever the Locus-Walker might have been, in addition to all the steps he had calculated, Xala was playing five other games under his nose that he didn't even know about. So when he finally realized what he was getting himself into, he quickly got rid of her.

And she wanted to play with him a little longer, she liked him because for once she got in the hands of someone really ambitious and not a stupid self-confident priest or a simpleton, but so be it eh....And then she found his student and well you know-

the other day I ended up finishing the Ghost of K'aresh questline and there was this one moment that sort of stayed with me that happened at the very end.

Alleria was constantly moody with Locus Walker throughout the story and in the end severed her ties with him, denouncing him as an ally, teacher and friend. Now one thing that struck me was when she said he's not longer her friend, Locus Walker tries reaching out and very mournfully calls out her. The reason I found this moment meaningful is cause he's a Void Etherial, essentially a being infused and made up of Void, and one known characteristic of the Void is that it doesn't understand the bonds between mortals, and it will do everything in its power to make the user cut and sever their ties with their loved ones.

If my memory serves correct, Locus Walker himself even used to tell Alleria how her connection to her family holds her from unlocking her true potential and how she needs to let go of them back when he was still her fresh teacher. So to now hear him sound rather heartbroken and mournful over her ending their bond really shows how fond he had grown of her and that even an individual so connected to the Void, isn't immune to the emotions that can blossom between people.

This could all be me looking too deeply into it, but I found it rather sad when I saw that scene and felt rambling this out.
