#Rat just wouldn't enjoy having Ina around

[fluff-and-such]

How does Rathma react to Inarius after he calms down?( If at all :D ) That's one curiosity. Another is that as the guys are currently standing (Muffy I don't know if he's angry or curious, I couldn't tell) fluff rathma walks in determined to drag Inarius and Muffy back. That is, if he can travel. And of course I'm curious about Malthael's curiosity myself.

Okay even after explanations, Rathma is still extremely uncomfortable with Inarius. His relationship with his own father is monstrously complicated, and this is basically a twilight-zone version of that.

Fluffy-Inarius is overly-friendly, as compensation for being big and scary but also for being a legitimate monster in the past. He ate some of the nephalem who rebelled, and then blew Fluffy-Rathma's wings off himself. Of course, he has no way of knowing CantankerRat's exact experiences with his own Inarius, but he just generally assumes it was nothing good, and tries to be way-too-nice as a weird quasi-apology.

All this results in an all around uncomfortable and awkward experience for CantankerRat.

Although he might come around after a few rounds of German-Shepherding by Ina.

If there's one thing Inarius excels at, its scaring people away from Depressive Death Boys. Rathma can appreciate a sentient shield.

As for Muffy, he just gets his ass kicked by his own Fluffy-Rathma. He wouldn't have much of an opinion on Mat, although he vaguely doesn't care for other Malthaels in general. (Funny enough, across fandom, it's been rare for two Malthaels to really get along. They tend to argue and be too sure of themselves to have a proper conversation that isn't just Smartass-Pissing-Contest)

F-R could care less what Ina does with his time, be that hassling Malthaels, hassling Rathmas, or getting hassled by Izuals. If they happen to end up in the same dimension, on the same planet, Oh Well. It's not his business, and he'd like to keep it that way.

Sorry CantankerRat, you're on your own.

At least he has Mat.

Sort of.
