hehe thank you pau!! <3

greer and kostas met when she still lived in the city, about a year or so before her father falls ill and dies and she leaves baldur's gate to take care of her mom. they're both taken with each other instantly tbh!! she likes his kind heart and sincere charm and he likes her easy laugh and boundless compassion. they should have had forever but...they didn't

tbh i think they get to me because it's like..........love that never got to be all that it could have been. being absolutely smitten with each other and long summer days spent in the shade of a tree in the garden, talking and reading and painting and dancing that becomes long winter nights spent in each others arms.

and then death and duty pull them apart. greer's father dies, leaving her mother distressed and no longer able to stand the confines of the city. greer, grieving her own way and not wanting to leave her mom alone, agrees to leave the city and go with her to the enclave her mom was raised in. kostas has his life and love for the city that she can't ask him to leave -- wouldn't ask him to leave -- so she ends things. (but i think, in her heart, she doesn't believe it's really the end. she'll be away a few years, just enough to see her mother settled and set on the path towards healing. she won't begrudge him if he doesn't wait, of course, but maybe...just maybe.....)

and then he dies. she finds out he's been injured by letter and by the time she gets to baldur's gate it's too late. he's already gone. so she leaves the city, for good this time she thinks, and spends the next century under the blessing of silvanus.

but in another life, one where they're both born many summers later, he doesn't die. and they do meet again. she travels to the city often and he always opens his door and his arms to her when she returns. young love grows into a ring in his pocket and a future ripe with possibilities and...and the vision of her body cold and lifeless and mangled. and happiness falls away to grief. "we're so sorry, guardsman. but there's nothing we can do." grief, and then fury. what's the point of the watch if they can't help people, if people like greer, good and honest and innocent, keep losing their lives in horrific and mysterious killings? it isn't right. it isn't fair. why her?
