Oh, those moonlit walks would be full of them just insulting each other.
"Pathetic."
"Asshole."
Actually those walks would look more like this:

#i remember playing around with those poses#and she's supposed to be grabbing for the throat#but because of the way their heights line up it looks more like tharaêl ate a piece of plastic and jade is trying to get him to spit it out#which honestly feels canon for them#either that or she's trying to make him smile which also seems in-character for jade#and no worries talking positive about characters i don't like!#i just have a lot of complicated feelings about tharaêl#and his dynamic with my prophetess is complicated#which i think is actually interesting!#because he brings out a different side of her that the other companions don't?#like she's sympathetic to his situation and is totally on “team fuck the father” even after the confrontation#due to her solid moral code = “if you hurt kids you deserve to die”#ultimately this code applied to tharaêl himself when he admits to killing that family#(for this reason she DEFINITELY would not have spoken in favor of sparing qalian in ANY eventuality which also dooms him)#but if jade were in tharaêl's shoes she would not be able to live with herself afterwards either#she wouldn't be able to come up with some speech about finding redemption and shit#so that outcome is less about my disliking him#and more that it's in-character and thematically appropriate for the “bad” ending of that quest to happen with her#but yeah what i mean by “fix” is generally people rewriting the script to make tharaêl more of a palatable and shippable character#which is totally valid for them and i would never in a million years discourage that#i don't even mind seeing fics/fanart/posts about him#i'll just be over here with my 9887339287389 “fixes” for calia and dijaam's stories because they REALLY got shafted by the narrative#my girls deserved better#(though someone trying to physically “fix” him via twisted experimentation is also fucked up to think about)#(imagine going to hard psionics route where you can “force your will” onto another)#(eugh)
