#i could literally recite some of lucien’s lines that prove my point

[yaralulu]

Since we’re on the topic of Tamlin and Lucien’s friendship,I obviously have to say something (a lot of things actually I can’t help it).

I’ve always hated how people bring up/assume Tamlin saving Lucien is the only reason for Lucien’s loyalty to him (because he feels indebted to him).Yes obviously Tamlin saving Lucien’s life and giving him a home is a part of it but so much has happened between them since then.Those two have witnessed and been there for each other at their absolute lowest moments and that kind of bond is deep.

Minimizing their relationship to just “Tamlin saved Lucien’s life” is just completely diminishing everything they’ve been through together and does their friendship a massive disservice.

Who was there when Lucien was struggling with the loss of Jesminda? Tamlin 

Who was there when Lucien lost his eye? Tamlin 

Who got Lucien his eye replacement to help him? Tamlin 

Who was there when Tamlin’s heart got turned to stone? Lucien 

Who was there when Tamlin was forced to send his sentries to their death? Lucien 

Who has there for Tamlin when Feyre left Spring? Lucien

Who begged Amarantha to spare Lucien’s life?Tamlin

Do I need to go on?

They were there for each other at every point.They’ve been through hell and back together .Their relationship is so much deeper than “he saved my life and I owe him everything ”. A genuine friendship and a familial bond has formed between them and that is why Lucien is so loyal and protective towards Tamlin .That man is his family.
