yvannairieAn unexplored thing I haven't really seen in Ouroboros/Hero stories is Taion giving shovel talk that ends up being more of a pep talk because he's so good at identifying and assessing people's strengths that he ends up convincingly arguing the case that they should shoot their shot with whoever member of the polycule the conversation is about.
Like it would be very funny for him to do it to someone like Zeon who is, frankly, a mess of self-doubts, and the assurance that Taion speaks just has him wringing his hands because SHOULD he do it, he's not sure he can do it and Taion just gives him the most intense look of disdain like false modesty? Really? and goes "of course you can do it" and continues his threats like he didn't just deliver the kick to the pants Zeon needs.
More of Taion being smart in the stupidest possible ways, please.

Eunie pulls out one of Gray's guns and is like "you know what this is, right? Good. The stakes of you fucking it up have now been established :D"
