In Family Jewels-verse, is there a reason Odalia picked Raine as a puppet flunky and passed up the chance to order Darius around? I feel like it’s possibly psychologically interesting, but it could just be that she’s seen them as inanimate puppets so much that they don’t really feel like people anymore and she just picked the first puppet she happened to glance at

See last time I was watching For The Future I did go, "wait, fuck, the way I'm writing Odalia, if she was looking at a bunch of Coven Head puppets, she would pick Darius to bully first no question, I'm gonna have to come up with a reason to justify why she picks Raine instead or my fic's gonna fall apart."

Anyway. I'm not sure it'll come up in the fic at all actually, but I do have A Reason, and it's that Odalia gets Darius to make the Collector's pizza rolls instead because she knows he can't stand pizza grease.

Odalia, ofc, is too upper class to eat pizza at all herself, but she has Memories of Alador slurping up pizza and wiping the grease all over his coat when they were teens, and Darius being the one person more Horrified by this than she was. She doesn't want to make the Collector pizza rolls :c You know who'll want this even less than she does? Fucking Darius. Go make the pizza rolls, puppet guy. She's not sure if he's actually Aware of what's happening and how he's being made to suffer at all, but maybe one day he'll get un-puppetefied and discover grease all over his dumb fucking gloves and have a little cry about it. <3

So anyway Odalia watches him go off to make the pizza rolls and is then like, "wait, shit, I still need to move these puppets, and I'm still too intimidated by Coven Heads I didn't go to school with to make demands of them. Raine I guess you're gonna have to pick them up for me with your weak nerd arms. Fuck. Darius is probably a lot stronger and could get this dealt with for me a lot quicker. Foiled once again by being so caught up in petty assholery that I didn't think anything through. Raine please you just dropped five people on the ground, this is gonna take us forever. I'm deciding this is Your fault actually."
