was there a paritcular reason cub was so late to reading scar’s letters abt the first assassination attempt, or was he really just busy?

also, around the end, was there a particular meaning behind the razor that cub gave scar? like a connection to when he used it to break the glyph the first time?

thanks for this fic i truly love it <3

Hiii, no I don't think anyone has asked these questions before, I'd love to answer!!

1. its been a while but if i remember correctly... elves have a very weird relationship with time. Because they live so long (~500 years?) Time moves very quickly. So something like a month feels like a week for them. Cub was extremely busy and putting off reading it, but also, a lot more time passed than he thought.

Scar doesn't have this trait because he's a half-elf, and it's a hit or miss gene ig, so that was sort of the idea. For Cub, it wasn't that long since he sent it, and when he did read it, he was over there as fast as possible. When he got there, Scar was already over it.

2. There's a connection to breaking the glyph but Also, this was the first time Scar was going to be let out of this place since he was 10. iirc Cub didn't want to intrude, he wanted scar to figure himself out and see what he wanted to do, so the razor was just a means to defend himself, first of all, but I also saw it as a present for Scar finally growing up. You know when your older brother/dad teaches you how to shave for the first time bc you're all grown up. Something something that. It's been a year so I can't remember entirely, but this was my rough thought process!

(I also love your new style omg)

Had to whip out the gacha life for a satire joke

+ just curious but were there any scenes you thought about but scrapped between the two of them? And did Mumbo ever open up about the full extent if it to the other two or is he someone that's better at tackling those kind of things by himself?

Sorry if you can't tell I think about this fic *such* a normal amount (lie)

Thank you so much to give me an opportunity to rant about her :D
