#nearly!!!

Hina and Kombu both think they’re each others ESA (and they’re right)

Hina and Rhea think they’re the knife to each other’s whetstone and that they’re sharpening themselves on the other (and it’s complicated!)

Hina and Vlad both think they’re better than the other (and they’re not… wrong?)

Hina and Amalgam both think the other is A TOTAL WEIRDO (and only one of them realizes that the other characters are functionally keeping them each Contained because if either went totally off the string things would be Wild)

And ALL of them are constantly looking at each other with a mixture of “you’re on thin fucking ice” “haha now do a kick flip” “we have an accord” “oh whoa we understand each other?? Well I wasn’t prepared for the emotions that would waken within me hang on gimme a minute and some privacy” with a hearty dose of “I can excuse X but I draw the line at Y” “you can excuse X??” energy

And your honour I love them and our beloved DM who is so so patient, kind, creative, and accomplished in setting up the scaffold for us to narrate off each other and her setting and plot hooks!
