#i just need to pick some sounds and arrange them into something vaguely namelike and stop worrying about it

As I'm trying to envision character interactions in Lily Between Worlds, I keep stumbling into the idea that the explorer and the scholar would be friends. Maybe childhood friends, maybe later on in life, but they at least knew of each other before Lily came around, and I think their friendship would develop once they both start spending time around Lily. They're both curious about the wider world, open to new ideas and experiences--it's just that the scholar reads about things while the explorer goes out and does things. And maybe part of the effect is that the explorer encourages the scholar to go out and do some exploring of his own--get some practical experiences to go along with his theorizing? It's all very vague, but there could be something there.
