having thoughts but i think nahida and scara are both very persistent when it comes to their hunt for knowledge in similar but different ways. for nahida it's that she genuinely enjoys the pursuit of knowledge and has a natural curiousity she likes to satisfy but it bugs her if she doesn't know + she can sometimes accidentally trample over someone's feelings by accident. she's willing to let it rest if she has to and has realized she hurt someone but ithink however she is far less likely to simply drop it if she genuinely feels it's for the greater good. meanwhile scaramouche while also slightly having a "greater good" mentality cannot STAND not knowing something and is aggressive in learning whatever it is to a point that's downright brutal and tends to cause problems for others. i think post-irminsul he begins to calm down a bit but it still tends to quietly piss him off when he's out of the loop for something
