toxic traveler.....

They cared about her and knew the feeling of being unprepared, for such a duty and responsability too. They knew support is what she needs and yet they dont follow their own advice and so they delivered. They weren't her blind follower- as if she turned evil they wouldeve immidelty switched, following their own moral code. They saw that Cassie means well and she would be a good Queen in the future + shes just still a child, who lost her dad, and the trinity doesnt trust her with anything, they felt bad and wanted to help her. They didnt care about the sword nor the windforce all that much. They have offered giving her the sword back but she declined. She also went as far as giving them new gear, boots and armor, getting their pants patched up...she was very kind and they bearly met. They dont talk much after the events of chapter 5. but Cassie is and potentially forever wil be in their heart. They're a weird mix of mentor and student relentionship, mixe with a tiny bit of found family, but mostly and foremost, friends. Player ruffled her hair whenever they wanted to cheer her up or praise her. Seeing her use her magic to assist them made them very proud.

During battle Player wanted to keep Cassie from getting hurt as they were afriad of her dying or getting fatally wounded, so they quite literally became her knight, her guarding swords person.

and yes, they did say 'queens orders' in that one dialouge option.

But as I said, they arent blindly following her, they are doing it beacuse thats what they want to do and they think thats the right thing.

They almost teared up seeing her properly crowned.
