Lord X's Guardians Opinions on his Spouse

(Void being/EXE, Vessel and human)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[Hello friend, thank you for the ask! Because I feel like their reactions would be variable based on what his partner is, I'll sort this post into three parts. EXE/Void being, Vessel and Human. Additionally, as genderless beings, I don't think they'd particularly care about the gender of Lord X's spouse. I know you said wife specifically in the asks, but I don't think their opinions would change if Lord X had a husband instead. Hope you enjoy!]

EXE/Void being:

In general, the guardians have a higher level of respect for non-mortals as a baseline. This choice of spouse would feel the most reasonable to the guardians.

Kyofu: EXEs and Void beings are well known for causing fear among mortals. The fact that you are one would be enough to garner respect from Kyofu. He may take passing interest in your form, but he knows very well that he should keep his hands to himself in regards to his body part collecting, especially since that may earn the ire of not just one, but two godlike beings with immense capacity for destruction.

Kyofuku: Unless you're fun, he doesn't care. He'll treat you with respect, sure, but he's not very interested at all. If you are fun, however, and have the patience to deal with his antics, you just got yourself a new friend! You two would be a force of chaos to be reckoned with for sure.

Yokubo: So long as you're beautiful and/or powerful, Yokubo is understanding and respectful of his lords choice. He'll treat you with the same reverence and sort of boot-licking behavior that he displays in Lord X's presence. But if you're pretty average and not really all that strong, he'll be a little confused as to why his lord decided to chose a really shit EXE to spend the rest of eternity with.

Kito: The mere fact that you are Lord X's partner suggests that you are worthy of the same worship and reverence that Lord X receives in the eyes of Kito. He's very respectful of you regardless of your beauty or power level. If you're good enough for Lord X, you're good enough for him.

Ken'o: He's not entirely impressed. He wasn't ever really big on the lovey-dovey stuff, and it doesn't matter if its with you and Lord X, he thinks its gross. Unless you were really stunningly visually perfect, he'd struggle to have a good opinion of you, and even then, if you get affectionate with X in his vicinity he's gonna act grossed out.

Gekido: He's respectful so long as you appear to be competent. He'll be quite cordial and friendly, treating you as if you were another member of X's family of weirdos. But, If you aren't, he won't be very patient with you. He'll see you was a waste of his lord's time and energy and a liability.

Zetsubo: Since Zetsubo is a guardian who takes advantage of sorrow and regret, she feels that your presence bringing her lord joy only makes him stronger. She believes you are worthy of respect on that fact alone.

Vessel:

The guardians would overall feel a bit more iffy about Lord X having a vessel as a spouse. They see your relationship like ownership.

Kyofu: You're like Lord X's little pet to him. He likes to toy with you, especially if you're easily frightened. He would never hurt you because that would get him in a lot of trouble but he gets enough thrill out of watching you jump and the fur of your vessel puff up like a frightened cat.

Kyofuku: The guardians all hate each other but Kyofuku is the least favorite of the group. While others may tolerate the presence of one-another, he doesn't get to enjoy that luxury. If you can stand his presence, he would be one of the more pleasant guardians to be in the company of.

Yokubo: He sees you as Lord X's lapdog. He's confused as to why his lord would spend time with a creature as weak as you. He always looks down his nose at you and furrows his brows when you make eye contact with him. But, he's also easily charmed. You can earn his favor by boosting his ego.

Kito: Respects you in the same way that he would respect you if you were an Exe or Void being. Your close association with X is what makes you important to him.

Ken'o: Totally grossed out. If you had been an Exe, he would at least understand Lord X being drawn to someone around his level if strength, but a Vessel? Pathetic. Disappointing.

Gekido: If you had found yourself in his meat processing plant and proved yourself to be a hard worker, he'll be able to actually respect his lord's decision. Otherwise, he would be disturbed by your presence. Because you need to be fed, Lord X would recruit Gekido to be your personal chef of sorts, if you aren't on good terms with him, he'd occasionally overcook your meals intentionally, playing it off as a mistake, hoping Lord X would give him the benefit of the doubt.

Zetsubo: She's concerned that your weakness as a mortal would make Lord X weak as well. Should you pass, Lord X may become quite downtrodden, and any creature like herself could take advantage of such grief. She values the happiness you give him now, and may even protect you from danger as an extent form of protecting her lord's strength and happiness, but she fears the weak spot you've created in Lord X's heart may be a liability.

Human:

Actually worst case scenario. While vessels are technically humans, the guardians have at least some respect for their new forms. Humans enjoy no such luxury. They hate you.

Kyofu: The only interest he has in you is his desire to chop you up for spare parts. Cut out your tongue, pluck out your eyes... but he'd never get away with that. He stares at you, held back only by his lord's preference for you.

Kyofuku: You're too fragile and slow for him to care about now.

Yokubo: If he knew he could get away with it, he'd like to drown you in one the many blood fountains around his lord's castle. Unless you were somehow as powerful as Lord X, there is nothing you could do to earn his favor.

Kito: He has no respect for humans, you are not valuable to him nor worthy of worship. He believes that your presence will be the downfall of his lord, and prays that you perish before that happens.

Ken'o: To him, humans are the single most disgusting creatures that he could ever have the displeasure of laying eyes on. To him, you are worthless.

Gekido: Humans are too weak, too slow, too pathetic to be anything more than a waste of time an energy, in his eyes.
