#evfra

“As you for you, Evfra, we’re not done.”

It made the most sense to his autonomous strategic mind.

Ol any tactic necessary.

Too busy to notice his attractions. Too tightly wound, too distracted by things more important, too passionate to keep it restrained.

Is shocked by what he's done.

Does it again.

No patience for pissing around but can't be straightforward about his feelings. Even to himself.

Tuh.

the soldier who lost everything and everyone, who pushes people away now because one more person he's close to means one more person he will inevitably lose. the man who brought them all together, the one who united them, alone, by the shackles of the very title he created for himself

vs the scientist who lost everything but still pushes through with a smile because despite it all, she's alive, and it won't bring them back, and it won't be enough, but better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, except no one sees her as anything but the Pathfinder, trapped by a title she was never meant to carry

and then they SEE each other? oh my god. oh man.

evfra, who formed the Resistance after losing his family not because he was angry at the kett, but because he loved his family so much that he sought to spare the angara the same suffering he'd already endured.

sara, who became pathfinder in one of her worst moments, who carried the mantle forward because she was needed, and has endured horrors of her own, yet remains positive because the game has a tone problem because misery won't change anything but love saved the angara, and maybe it can save the Initiative too, being living proof that Evfra could've survived future loss if he'd ever permitted himself that closeness.

Evfra: "What are you talking about, Ryder?"

Ryder: "Come on! It's an earthly tradition, all the negative thoughts of the year are chased away on this occasion and we are grateful for what we have!"

Evfra: "We have a war to fight and the front line is getting thinner and thinner. I don't have time for this earthly nonsense!"

Jaal: "Evfra, be reasonable, I'm convinced that a little distraction can be good for the morale of the troops and this earthly holiday is suitable for the purpose"

Evfra: "Mmh. One day you will explain to me how you can be my best warrior and at the same time be completely naive. All right, all right. But I don't want you to let your guard down!"

Ryder: "Oh, we won't! We have thought of everything! And for this very reason we also have uniforms suitable for the occasion! They keep you very warm and are ideal for the Voeld climate!"

Evfra: "Do you want ME to wear that? Oh, stars and skies protect me!"
