#but he always has a nagging fear in the back of his head that clavicus will take it all away

[clavicuss-vile]

im thinking about Kin'aru and Rhyielhelas for no particular reason. i dont think they ever meet (or if they do, its only briefly) because Kaos only really goes to the college to find out about the elder scroll, but i just think they'd be such a comical pairing.

Rhy, who eyetwitches every time someone stands on a flower, meeting Kin who could ramble about alchemy for hours without taking a breath. but also Rhy who lives in adoration and so much attachment to his clan-bosmeri culture and would do anything to preserve and protect it, and Kin who is so desperately trying to revive lost magics of a culture destroyed (re: dwemer animation + life magics in their automatons)

Rhy who is devout and overwhelmed (in a good way) by Y'ffre's divinity and love for their people and home, and Kin who got in over his head with Clavicus Vile and who knows he is so so easily disposable.

but mostly, Rhy, who would have to be held back to stop him biting, mauling, and tearing someone to shreds to protect the people and entities he loves, and Kin'aru, who'd gladly sacrifice his life to a daedric god, to do the same.
