#(SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS) like if he hadnt gotten trapped in round 100 things couldve gone soooo badly for muriel

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

murieltes is such a fun ship like.

it's about the deception and the betrayal and the hope and the sweet, innocent love of a faithful paladin. it's about loving someone life and life after life and finding each other in every new life. about the fact that before everything came crashing down around tesilid, for quite some time the happiness and hope he felt was real.

it's about the reversal of fortunes where muriel goes from being the "watchmaker" tasked to look after the "clock needle of the world" tesilid argente, to being the one who knows less and who is effectively a mouse in a trap. it's about the fact that tesilid has over 40 lifetimes and counting to learn about every inch and facet of muriel. this was originally done with love, but now, theoretically, this knowledge can be used to hit her where it really hurts and to engineer situations that let him play her like a fiddle - perhaps even worse than what she had done to him before.

it's about the fact that muriel always starts every round with the same amount of information. it's about her going "thank god i don't retain memories from previous timelines", but is that a good thing, actually? when the person who does remember has a very good reason to hate you in all timelines?
