Anyways thinking about Veth asking if Trent was messaging him and Caleb saying I think and just thinking about how long Trent messaged Caleb for after he escaped the first time and also about how maybe even after he stopped, Caleb would still hear him sometimes like maybe he’d pop into Caleb’s head now and again but maybe he also didnt and who can say

As someone who by all measures has Extreme anxiety, seeing how the 9 treat Marion with so much gentleness and respect like really warms my cold little heart. Like it’s not a joke to them, they don’t treat her like she’s being stupid or unreasonable. They just do their best to help her. They offer their arm, their spells and it never occurs to any of them to think less of her for it.

Do you know what would be interesting? If Trent figured out that Astrid has been helping Caleb escape and starts leveraging his power of Eodwulf to get Astrid to behave. Now he would have to be pretty subtle about it bc if he does anything like gods forbid kill Eodwulf then he’s essentially telling Astrid she should try to kill him and go help the M9 because he will have lost a significant chunk of the power he holds over her. So for that reason, he likely wouldn’t kill Eodwulf and he is after all an asset, but not as much as Caleb would be, and Astrid knows that bc he’s said as much in front of her. But I think there’s the distinct possibility that Trent starts sending Eodwulf on increasingly dangerous missions -by himself- to remind Astrid of the power and control that Trent wields and as a threat to keep her in line. I also think it’s possible that Trent is already doing this, considering Eodwulf did just go up north on a mission without her.
