Did another painting practice... this time of @forever-afk‘s Aestiah.

As strange as she might show it, her opinion of Vaelrin has only improved. She understands he isn't experienced in leading a unit as much as a ship, but most seem to do the right thing anyway so any shortcomings of the Pathfinders haven't yet reflected upon him negatively.

Both of them take their duty seriously, and he's available should she feel the need to express concern. He also upheld his end of the deal to return her sword after their duel, so that's a bonus. 

When the Sunguard mobilizes for it, she's going to send a bunch of supplies with them, and remain behind on Azeroth for a time. She needs to work with the Duskwither Estate for a time and delegate authority in a manner beneficial to her. 

She also has a nine month old baby. She's not exactly bursting at the brim to go run away from her. If she goes to Draenor at all IC (I will be leveling her regardless), it won't be until after Aeriana's first birthday and solid transportation between the region and her home has been established. 

Sometimes I develop obessions with characters not my own

It's a natural position for her to be in - she respects and obeys the chain of command, certainly, but her personality is very authoritative which is a boon in this situation. There is some stress involved, though the isn't a new concept for her to deal with. She does have some concerns, though. While she expects the Pathfinders to abide by what she says, she isn't fully certain if she has the attention of everyone. People might just defer to Vaelrin anyway, try and talk with him as if to gain his opinion on things - which she cannot control but it's something she's considered. Or that the next two weeks will be handled as a vacation as opposed to a legitimate replacement being a thing. 

Look what I found. MY OLD STYLE! Seriously, I used to draw like this all the time but then... stopped, or the style changed, I dunno. OR MAYBE I'M JUST VERSATILE? VERSA-STYLE? Cursed with inconsistency?
