Funny you should mention him! In this universe, Raven Beak and Grey Voice got along very well for the most part.

They're old friends with similar speech patterns and leadership styles. Warrior pragmatists who have a tendency to come off as cold or blunt. They say what they mean, and sometimes they suck all the fun out of things. Raven Beak typically has a better sense of humor than his old pal, but they're both fairly serious people with a lot of weight on their shoulders.

I think Grey Voice would agree with what Raven Beak is saying here pretty much 1:1. "If you were born a worm, you would not have been taken to Zebes in the first place: you would have been overlooked as a victim in the event that orphaned you. Why are you giving me that look, a worm cannot learn the ways of the Warrior."

Thought Experiment.

#reblob #grey voice would have been like “do you expect me to train a worm”#samus is gonna eventually figure out just how similar Raven Beak and Grey Voice are and she's going to hate it.#it's not that she didn't like Grey Voice: it's the fact that she's going to be living in #close quarters with a modified clone of Grey Voice that's the issue.#the primary difference being this one is going to experience abject whimsy and occasionally poke fun at Samus #and walks around like the rules don't apply to him.#like “oh my goodness you are JUST like my dad in all the wrong ways. why are you like this.”#and at times it'll be “i wish you were more like my dad”#another difference between them is the reaction to being asked for more information about the worms #with Raven Beak. “can you tell me more about the worms you mentioned in your example” is the correct dialogue choice to get #Samus locked into a three-hour long lecture about the worms in question and their habitat #Raven Beak is a biologist with a laundry list of academic achievements whose childhood interests involved putting worms in his pockets #he knows his worms #Grey Voice is knowledgeable but the animals themselves aren't within the scope of his interest #Raven Beak is also a poet and when he's comfortable he has a tendency to wax about a subject.#this is also where the two diverge personality-wise: they tend to agree with each other on a lot of issues #but when their differences start to show Raven Beak will support his point of view with the facts as well as his own flowery words #the prosaic essays Raven Beak could pull out of his rear end at a moment's notice vexed Grey Voice to no end #they're similar enough to make Samus say “ok i can see how you two got along” and different enough for her to say #“ok i can see why he maybe didn't let you come visit very often”. not that Raven Beak's lack of presence in Samus' childhood was #entirely Grey Voice's fault--or even his doing in the first place #anyways that's pretty much that: I love Grey Voice he's the bird of all time. I love talking about him and hearing others talk about him #Raven Beak and Grey Voice are very different but they have Synergy: they would very much look at each other in this instance and say #“I don't know what you want him to say Samus. We simply could not have made you a warrior if you were born a worm.”#headcanons #i need to finish that thing where Raven Beak and Grey Voice have a very serious discussion. or start on the other thing where their #differences are highlighted in their interactions with kid Samus
