Make Weh

I wanna get back into the roll of just firing off random snippets of fandom backprocessing without letting it balloon into a writing project so here goes:

I feel extremely bigly about how Isurd clearly cares deeply for Taion, and yet keeps his distance after Nimue's death because he doesn't want to impose, even after Taion accepts Nimue's legacy and begins trying to reconnect with him, and as a result, he's still grieving by the end of the game, whereas Taion has managed to overcome his grief, and this isn't even a failure because Isurd had been able to trust Taion with the shared secret between him and Nimue.

It makes me feel extremely bigly Q-Q

(no subject)

Like it's just wild to me. That Isurd legit cares so much that his first thought after waking up is "I hope I didn't make Taion suffer unnecessarily". Even though Taion has been gone for at least a year at this point, and was likely to never come back. His alarm and attempts at mollifying J when he realises one of the "dangerous fugitives" is his and Nimue's protégé. The way he keeps telling the Ouroboros "I appreciate your help but you really don't have to push yourself, I can handle it", and then without hesitation putting his life in Taion's hands when the situation calls for them to work together.

I am fucking weeping, Ethel and Cammuravi may have invented love from first principles but Isurd wasn't far behind, with Nimue and Taion.
