It wasn't until she got used to Haein riding alongside Jinwoo that she started to feel small changes of heart. First it began with the soft pattings Haein did while she was mounting on her back, then it began with Haein checking over the dragons at the lake and scratching the scales on their heads like one would for a cat, and when months had passed taking care of dragons, Kasiel for the first time had been asked by Haein if she could ride alongside her without the need for Jinwoo. Kaisel hesitated at first, searching around for Jinwoo, only to be struck with betrayal by her master upon seeing Jinwoo give a small nod. Now Kaisel can admit it really is nice to have Haein around, though she does get scared when Haein only decides to hold on to her horns and not, you know, wear proper gear for dragon riding as an unawakened human.

Beste was the same, she didn't know what to do when Haein had first come by accident into her abode. She respectfully attended to her when she said she had gotten lost, and as they walked through, Haein struck up a talk here and there which had Beste agonizing over it since she wasn't the most sociable person out there. Then as the days went by Beste saw Haein more and more inside the shadow realm, waiting for the generals to finish their daily meeting, sometimes with Jinwoo sometimes without him, still Haein seemed to be present at sporadic times, waiting outside until Igris or Tusk where done so she could come to continue to be on friendly terms with them. Haein then all the sudden started striking conversations to the rest of them, and Beste gradually had been the second one integrated into that group. She doesn't even know how it happened, and blames Igris for that since he always sits in the council next to him. Yeah he's to blame. Not to thank really, Beste was doing just fine on her own learning about anatomical or spiritual deficiencies in order to conjure weaknesses against her master's enemies, she totally doesn't care that seeing Haein once in a while is strangely nice. In its own way.

Its the opposite, kinda, for Bellion, he tries to seem as strict as possible so that Lady haein can think highly of him, and she does! but she also find it cute when the angel gets flustered about not knowing how to do simple household tasks.

Igris has a huge soft spot for Haein since she tends to share the same calmness as her late wife. Still, he knows she can protect herself against all odds which makes him feel more relaxed (yes he still remembers very well the last ass kicking he got from her). Haein, though she never really was a top student, is good at learning so she often studies with Igris about geometry and arithmatics. (Yes I do believve they binge a lot of class courses and Haein tends to buy classical books for Beru and Igris thou shall never convince me otherwise.)

Beru is... a hard case, to settle around with. He is aware of their very unfortunate first meetings and tries to not appear as much around the house at times unless called to or when he senses a dangerous precense. The moment haein got pregant he was always lurking around the shadows putting things nearby in case haein wanted them, Igris, Bellion and Beste where more actively present around her, heck even Tank tended to put its head beside her and act like a big pillow at times. It was only after the birth of Suho that he began to appear more often around the house, grabing onto the baby and carefully caring for it everytime Haein felt tired. (Jinwoo was there of course, he always was the nanosecond something happened but the outer gods and the titans didnt make it any less easy even when Jinchul gave him as many months as he needed for paternity leave.) It was at this time that he also learned how to make himself more small at times in order to work around the house without appearing like monster, that could potentially affect Haein's health of course! Igris and Bellion were kinda scared of just how fast Beru adapted to changing diapers and learning what every baby sound Suho was trying to make in order to be understood. Beru also makes his voice a bit more soft whenever he is around Haein and Suho, and even Jinwoo me believes.

(about Haein's thoughts on this, since she doesnt know about the things of the past in ragnarok, then she basically was oblivious to who was the person always helping around the house, but Igris told her about Beru's anticts before she could get scared of posible memory losses.)

Tusks always makes calming healing potions for Haein, and has even tried to learn about skin care. He's a big fan of the products, the makeup as well. Hygene products are a big thing with orcs, what with their enviroment and diet, a good cleaned pair of tusks and fangs are a sign of privlege. Tusk is also just a big nerd of human things so he tends to yap on with Haein about the promotional products she tended to sell (and soon found out about the big world of advertisment doesnt mean shit about the quality of the product, it just means they are able to pay for celebrities to make the product more popular.)

Haein loves to see the dwarfs making their constant sets of jewelry or armor. She's brought Suho along as well, and through the blacksmiths is how she first met with Esil and her father, since they always conscripted the dwarfs when it came to artisan work. Things from masonry to metalurgy to glass working, all of those thigns fascinate both women, like just the artform of it all keeps them entretained for hours on end.

Esil's castle has a collection of weapons and armor which had helped them win against the ruler's wars. Some where made before Ashborn had joined the monarch, others were so old the stories about them still had the Absolute Being present in them. There was a constant evolution and variety among all of them, and the library by the side often held a lot of anecdotes to the days when these weapons were first used. Right now Esil often just lets Jinwoo borrow them from time to time in order to train, and she was more than happy to let Haein inside and take her time learning with Igris about the armory.

If only other humans could look at them as well, I'm sure they would be interested in them. Haein always said that but that kind of future where humans accepted magic beasts and vice versa seemed bleak and not at all the outcome Jinwoo would like.

Esil is also happy to see Haein indulge in her feasts, gastronomy and history, the things the Radiru family is proud of, it's so nice seeing someone enjoy it.

The shadows work to take away any sense of autonomy you have.

You’re old clothes are taken away, replaced by generic uniforms. Your hair is shaved. You and all of your peers are marked with the same tattoo. You eat when they tell you, sleep when they tell you, train when they tell you.
