*CACKLY GIGGLE* I love that “FUCK NAESALA” is such a nondescript, unspecific reaction. Completely non-indicative of what part you’re at. Could be a lot of moments.
A lot.
also love Reyson’s “*close eyes conceal don’t feel*” reaction.
and i’m shoving a pillow over my face screaming at so much here, again <33
YOU SEE WHY I . HAVE A THING. FOR NAESALA AND REYSON’S RELATIONSHIP. x’’’’)))))) but yeah, this is so “*throw hands up in the air* WHAT?? SERIOUSLY??”, but you have to keep in mind they really were EXTREMELY close friends before, for centuries. there’s a huge lot of history between the three bird tribes and the herons are Special to everyone, that’s why it hurt Reyson so much and that’s why Naesala drops Daein and why Reyson does take him back >w<
Re: Kilvas, IIRC all we really hear about it in PoR (and you’ve probably heard all of it by now) is that they’re so small and weak they have to resort to piracy and mercenary…-ness…, and although they might not be currently on the verge of dying out and maybe they don’t all think solely about survival every single day, at the very least Naesala is so insistent on strengthening the kingdom because he thinks Kilvas will eventually die out otherwise (either of starvation, or possibly by being wiped out… I’m not sure if that latter was canonically stated as a possibility). (… i’m pretty sure. … wait how much of this is fanon—))
So that’s the biggest thing that sets the ravens apart from the other tribes: unlike the dragons or the beasts, they can’t even afford to have principles or honor or to avoid interacting with Beorcs, because they have to fight just to survive. I mean, 99,99% of them are snakey bastards even when keeping that in mind, but yeah, I think that’s what he’s referring to in that one “~you could never understand~” line. I don’t know what else it could remind you of, though — some lines sorta similar to that come up in Soren’s supports, but IIRC you haven’t seen any of those lines yet… Perhaps Lethe at some point, possibly with Jill? :o
and afdlkflkjslkjf I LOVE IKE SO MUCH… what a good, thoughtful, considerate protagonist??? i can’t believe he’s this good at diplomacy when it doesn’t involve nobles
(… you can really see he grew up in a laguz country huh)
Go check out the gallery to see everyone’s pieces, it’s a mammoth sized project and it’s so fun to look through all the different styles and interpretations, so go give it your support!! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
