What they define their relationship with your muse as:

“Allies?Coworkers? I’m not certain. I think I would like to be able to say friends butI can’t.” (This is so awkward for Vaelanys. Between the jealousy Thornshowed once over them simply talking and his own insecurities over Thorn’sfeelings and  Kieros’ likely emotions on thematter this is just a tangle of things Vaelanys doesn’t begin to know how tounravel and he’s not certain he should even try.)

Something they likeabout your muse:

“He’s a good man.Honorable.” (For the most part Vaelanys’ conviction about this opinion hasnever once wavered, whatever emotional conflict he has when it comes toKieros.)

Something they dislikeabout your muse:

“I am not certainI know him well enough to dislike any particular aspect of his character. Someparts of the situation however I have no liking for.” (Vaelanys dislikesalways wondering just where he stands with Kieros and the entire situation, butthat’s definitely not something that’s Kieros’ fault in particular.)

Their first impressionof your muse:

“I thought he wasa good man. A fair and honorable man. His words held more weight with me forthat opinion.” (Not matter how little he liked those words he gave themfar more consideration than he would have if someone else had spoken them or ifthey’d been handled in a different way.)

Their impression ofyour muse now:

“I still think heis a good and honorable man. I think he does his utmost for the sake of theLynxes and that for the most part he has dealt with me as fairly as he knowshow.” (There was a time he thought Kieros was treating him rather poorly butthat at least they did manage to clear up.)

How they feel aboutyour muse:

“I like him. Ifthings were different I like to think we would have been very goodfriends.” (As it is Vaelanys often still finds that Kieros is one of theeasiest people in the company for him to trust in some ways. But friendshipseems decidedly impossible.)

Something they arehiding from your muse:

“A very greatdeal. My personal doubts and conflicts, my troubles. The battle I am trying tofight. The fact that as ridiculous and awful as I know it to be I amalmost jealous of him at times.” (Vaelanys doesn’t talk to Kieros enoughto confide in him. At all.)

Something they wishthey could to tell your muse:
