i found a bunch of dialogue that ive 100% either forgotten abt or just nto seen in a while so i posting them here for me and me only
this when they're talking abt the family photo....i YELLED!!! the day WEEEEEEE all went out fishing!! WEEE!!! I KNEW DATZ WAS THERE!!!!THEY ALL SAID I WAS CRAZY BUT I KNEW IT No one doubted me. literally no one. but im still vindicated. from "well someone had to take that photo" to "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" oh datz... Also 'seems like datz has a lot to say', i know it's just the "yuty's CHANGED..." stuff but i want to read it more emotionally. i know that man has complicated and upset feelings on this kid he saw raised from a baby to now...Ok? uncle.
this one i never rly fully forgot abt bc i cite it so often but it's just nice to have a screencap.. that yeah without a doubt dhurke and datz were friends pre-fire... also everything he says abt jove is very "dhurke told me this/said that" so they didnt meet. Which idrc about. jove means nothing to be to be honest
cowards for making it metaphorical LIKE DATZ SHOULD HAVE A DRAGON TATTOO. i dont draw the tattoos ever cus i keep forgetting and am lazy but datz should have one and it should be on his heart because he's a freak. And it should be a gay thing. it should be a young dhurke and datz stick n pokeing their convictions on each others bodies like insane revolutionaries. And it's about the revolution but it's about dhurke. OKAY!??!? oh you dont fukcing get it
i didnt rly forget abt this one either but it's cutie to me i just like them Oh they are so oomfies. it'uahhhgh Datz how many conversations are you trying to cheer dhurke up and being his optimism when dhurke cant be optimistic. like that's what this always reads to me as. is datz compensating for dhurke's pragmaticism even though i do really like to think that dhurke is the optimist and datz is more pragmatic underneath it all. but they switch off they bear each others loads. (not in a gay sex way rn) like it's so. No of course he still cares about you! bc he's not gonna say "yeah i bet that little squirt doesnt gaf LOLLLL" that's crazy.
also i like dhurke was never a hands on kinda dad. And i like when datz's role in the family is as a connection. like. this is very novel to me it's very literature. apollo and datz go out into the woods for a trip and then over the course of their trip it's apollo getting closer to his dad thru datz's stories and whatnot...Like?
well OBVIOUSLY *i'd* want it to be datz as his own character and person with feelings and ideals but i get his function for writing. i understand it. it makes me crazy tho. Um anyway
i just like him

it's not discussed much but i'm kind of very interested in the sort of friendship Datz and Beh'leeb have together....... they've both lost people extremely dear to them, so even though Datz is a perpetual Silly Guy i'm sure Beh'leeb takes solace in knowing he's kind of in a similar position to her. perhaps even his ability to take it in stride inspires her a bit, and she reminds him that it is okay to mourn. i want them to be close friends. i want Datz to become an uncle YET AGAIN to another random child KRKF
#psy's no punctuation posts#aa tag#headcanons tag#just it seems like they could have a really endearing bond#add her and Faitah to the found family#i love Beh'leeb so much idk why i just think she's kinda awesome#also Datz needs friends more his age too KRKF#i mean i'm SURE he's got plenty of acquaintances and pals in the Dragons but Beh'leeb and Dhurke are the only ones we see

Ranking the Ace Attorney main cast on whether or not I think they'd be a narc
I was making a more coherent, serious post about the different approaches to justice each of the characters have and how that is shaped by their backstory... and then I realized a funnier question is what they would do if they saw you eating a weed brownie so I made this post instead
Phoenix: In the trilogy era, yes. He trusts people, but believes that trust has to be built on pursuing justice and always accepting the harsh reality. He'd be sad about it, but a narc nonetheless. In his Beanix era he's making his money through "totally legal gambling" and on the hunt for questionably legal evidence so I have no doubt in my mind there's a pot farm under the WAA for supplemental income. He gives up his narc ways and for that I salute him
Apollo: If I were to pick a single member of this cast who is NOT invited to the rotation it would be him. He had zero hesitation throwing Kristoph to the wolves after working for him for years so I know he has absolutely zero qualms about ratting out his friends or coworkers. Loyalty means nothing in the eyes of justice and it means nothing to him. He's a narc.
Athena: She's gonna lecture you and look all sad about it, but she's no snitch. She's been through the rounds with Simon so she gets it. Having to know you hurt her feelings is enough of a punishment in her eyes
Edgeworth: He's not a narc but he IS obsessed with being right, so if you don't immediately fess up with exactly what you're doing he's going to send your stoned ass to the chess dimension and honestly I think that's worse
Franziska: Unfortunately she is a cop. Narc.
Godot: Diego-era yeah he's a narc, but after the coma? I feel like he has better things to worry about, he would just ignore you. He has some soul searching to do and some grief complexes to unlearn he doesn't have the time to be a lil snitch. Post prison I think he's stoned somewhere in Kurain and chillaxing, as is his right
Klavier: Don't let his rockstar attitude fool you he's a narc and extremely annoying about it. The gavinners tour bus is dry as hell and it's all Klavier's fault. Daryan offers him a line and he gets all uppity and says "the only LINE i want you doing is the third line in the prechorus, you keep messing up the syncopation" and that's the end of that discussion
Simon: He's been in prison so he knows what's up. Not a narc. Might glare at you until you share though
Nahyuta: He's a narc and will lecture you so long about it you're tempted to turn yourself in to get out of earshot. He also never forgets and never forgives. Datz is trying to reform him but it isn't going well
Sebastian: Yes, but I think the idea of him having to turn in someone for it would make him cry so they end up comforting him instead. Kay thinks he needs to try a weed brownie
Maya: I want you to look at me and tell me she doesn't smoke weed. Not a narc
Pearl: I think if she found out that her big sister figure smoked weed she would have a heart attack. Def a narc
Trucy: I can say with absolute certainty that if you really wanted weed she could find you a dealer faster than anyone in the cast. Trucy is a magician and has grown up around a variety of people involved with some seedier institutions, she knows better than to snitch. Has not been and will never be a narc
Kay: Will help you shoplift. Not a narc
Gumshoe: A narc on principle, but would feel really bad about it and would probably let you off with a warning if you started crying or acting upset because I think he's a softie. He's not unreasonable
Ema: If you think she has even the tiniest sliver of respect for cops you're lying to yourself. Not a narc and will actively help you evade police out of principle. A homie, honestly
Fulbright: Not only is he a narc but he definitely runs the DARE program at the local highschool and is printed on half the posters they put up in the precinct. I'm also like 80% sure he doesn't actually know how weed works

I JUST HAD THE BEAT GODDAMN DREAM OH MY GOD
Just had a dream that instead of Dhurke dying in the las case of SoJ, he and Inga (think that’s what the guys name was???) decided to settle things with and sports game??? I forgot what sport it was, I think it was football though.
And people REALLY cared, I went to watch it with my family and a lot of people i knew were there. On one team was the entire Wright Anything Agency, Dhurke, and Datz. The other side had Inga, Ga’ran, Amara, Nahyuta, and Rayfa. It was fucking wonderous. The royal family showed up on a speedboat for some reason, Dhurke and Datz were being homoerotic with each other the entire time, it was just wonderful. I need to have more dreams like that.

I love justquill and even if I didn't I would have to for Aura and Apollo's dynamic alone. (I don't really think his and Athena's dynamic would change much tbh except he'd have to see her more often bc she has a habit of just showing up to their apartment to see Simon.)
We already know Aura likes Apollo, personally I think they met when he and Clay would hang around the space center as teens and Apollo with all his anxiety was likely very polite and awkward. She probably bullied him a little bc she likes to bully people and Apollo is very bully-able but I think he probably would have let stuff slip about his personal life and I think they just would have had a good, fun, healthy relationship bc she sees this kid who is only a little younger than her own brother and just as kind and I think they don't exactly feel like siblings to each other, but I think they take to each other and I don't really have the mental capacity right now to write it all out.
So Apollo Justice is one of the few people Aura actually likes which boggled Simon's mind bc they didn't meet back then, he was always hanging around the psych department while Apollo and Clay were dealing with space stuff mostly except when they were in the robotics department. They probably saw each other in passing but that was it.
So when Simon says he's bringing someone special to visit (he didn't hear much about what actually happened on Apollo's end with meeting up with his sister during the retrial bc he was still in prison at the time) and he brings Apollo in and she's just ecstatic. Simon is confused as hell.
He knew Apollo had met Aura which honestly made him more nervous bc she hates almost everyone she meets and he gets a little scared when Apollo says he thinks she's nice.
Then he sees them interact. She grills him a little and chastises him for not coming to see her as often. Then they start talking about all sorts of who knows what and he should know bc he's right there but they're both laughing and he's short circuiting a little.
Then she starts to roast Apollo's taste in partners and Apollo subtly defends him and she makes a gagging gesture but they laugh. Simon's world has been flipped upside down.
Now whenever Simon mildly annoys his sister she says she's replacing him with Apollo. At first whenever they go see her or she comes to them Apollo tries his best to be proper and polite, but Aura is having none of it and slings her arm around his shoulder and roasts him until he pushes her away and fights back.
Aura and Apollo have weekly calls. Sometimes Simon is there, most of the time he's not. Aura actually feels a little comfortable opening up the tiniest bit to Apollo, mostly about Metis, but a little about her brother and how everything affected her and the tiniest about the things she is doing currently. They become really good friends and whenever Simon and Apollo have a mild fight she jokes that Apollo had better take her in the divorce. Of course Apollo knows that if they ever split and it was even a little bit his own fault he'd probably be facing death by robot and he accepts this.
Aura loves to overshare certain things to see how far she can push before Apollo will hang up on her or leave the room bc Apollo is still just too polite to her and she loves seeing how far that extends. Usually he makes up an excuse, but he's never told her to shut up. Yet. He has, however, overshared his own stuff to get her to leave him alone or just annoy her bc she really does not want to know these things about her brother and she hates the mushy stuff. She will say 'You're gross, I'm hanging up.'
Could you even imagine if they took her to Khura'in? I've said it once (actually many times) and I'll say it again, Aura would lay Amara both as a power move and bc they just genuinely have a lot in common and like each other. She would bully Nahyuta with it but her and Rayfa get along very well. Datz would love Aura, he would just think she's so funny and she can appreciate a 'yes-man'. She is having the time of her life and no one will ever know peace again.

Y'all I am so proud of myself lately, I've done some real art progress!
First: Some fanart that doesn't look like fanart.
I designed this with intentions of it being a fanfiction cover later on. It's Datz Are'Bal from Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, peeling an apple with a kukri knife.
I had a very specific vision for this and I really think I nailed it. I'm really trying to learn painting and colour and how colour plays in to light and shadows.

Day 3: Favourite Dynamic
I would say Anfuu but there are already several posts about them in my blog (proof) so I'll say another one of my favourites
Sean Datz & Gina Chamber!
Look at the sillies :]
I like their dynamic as a whole, not necessarily romantic and not necessarily platonic either.
From a story standpoint, it's interesting to see a friendship between two people who have tried to kill Fuuko in the previous loop.
Buroja Arc really was the highlight of Sean's new life. How he ran away and yet was backed up by everyone, something the crime life would otherwise kill him for. How Gina, someone who didn't even know him, protected him despite being on the brink of exhaustion.
Space Arc gave a whole new dynamic of them. Gina was aware how powerful Unseen really is and managed to push him to new interpretations within two days. Then there's the self-sacrifice (albeit for selfish reasons) of Sean volunteering to get into the Unchange tube and almost falling, saying that he trusts her.
School Arc lets us see them in a more carefree best friend dynamic. This becomes the new normal as proven by the plethora of background scenes.
Gina has killed thousands of people by accident and Sean was forced into the criminal life both at 16-18. The fact that we get to see them as regular teenagers in Loop 101 - and because of each other, no less - is a really nice thing to see.
TL;DR: They're cute.

I was inspired by @/okartichoke’s ace avian AU to think about what kind of wings other characters would have (because I love the choices they’ve had for the designs they’ve posted so far)… and decided everyone in Khura’in should have insect wings! Huge spoilers for Spirit of Justice below the cut obvs
I like to think the wings come in at around 15-16 (or after an intense spiritual experience) so Rayfa doesn’t have hers yet by the end of the game (mostly to keep the mystery), but they’d be the same as Nahyuta’s
Nahyuta has Khura’inese butterfly wings with a white ribbon (to mimic the one he wears) and a green mitamah pattern (which’ll make sense when I talk about Dhurke’s)
Dhurke’s got green dragontail butterfly (Lamproptera meges) wings, which is where Nahyuta and Rayfa get the green mitamah pattern from! I literally only found out about it because I wondered if there were any butterflies with “dragon” in their name. Here’s a picture for reference!
Ga’ran and Amara have basic Khura’inese butterfly wings, but with a more purple tint because royalty
Non-royal monks like Ahlbi have moth wings; Ahlbi’s specifically are going to be a blue tiger moth’s (Dysphania palmyra) when he’s older because they’re cool and fit his color scheme
Datz, being a foreigner, wouldn’t have insect wings so maybe peregrine falcon because paratrooper?
I’m thinking monks might decide to either trim their wings or simply not use them because it’s seen as disrespectful? The wing types among the common populace would be more varied tho (think dragonflies, crickets, beetles)
Haven’t really thought beyond this tbh (why the Feys have feathered wings as opposed to insect, the specifics of certain people’s, etc.) so if y’all have any ideas feel free to tell me!
#Moon Speaks#aa6#aa6 spoilers#wing au#Again if you want to send in suggestions for the non-Khura’inese characters please please PLEASE tell me I wanna hear y’all’s thoughts!#not @ing directly bc I don’t wanna bother them

anyways, trying to have a coherent thought about Nahyuta here, but to me the conceivable end of his story after getting cases overturned and things fixed to the best of his ability is to stop being a prosecutor. Like I legitimately cannot fathom him enjoying being a prosecutor post-SOJ. I think you can argue he probably got a taste of what prosecution really is in the cases that occurred over SOJ, and he sees what it’s about and how to form proper arguments, but like. Ok. I understand he’s a prosecutor in the story because he has to be a rival. Because he wanted to undo the corruption of the system.
But I think he can do that as regent. Work on overturning laws, work closely with the prosecution office, so on. he can act as an example of a proper prosecutor to new prosecutors and old since he has the experience, but I just don’t see that he’d enjoy doing it. Too much trauma and too many terrible things attached to it, terrible things HE did. I imagine the guilt is overwhelming.
So, idk. I kind of picture him potentially, a few years, getting through the backlog of cases and resigning. But not giving up on being a lawyer entirely. I don’t think he could deal with it, so I like to imagine that he goes back to law school, retakes the bar, and becomes a defense attorney like Dhurke. I think he’d be happier that way, honestly.
But who knows. He might heal enough over this process to decide and stay.
#psy's no punctuation posts#aa tag#ig for me my take on nahyuta is so wrapped up in trauma and mental illness surrounding his actions that to me#even after he heals a lot and gets through the work of overturning cases that he might want to leave it#simply something to consider#i touched on it slightly in my fic because Nahyuta just straight up says ‘I hate being a prosecutor’ to datz and apollo#but I didn’t really have time to get into it#I’d like to analyze that more sometime

lifeswap AU: 6-2 reunion
because apparently i'm contractually obligated to think about this au every few months (even if i don't actually post anything of it, oops). original concept by @greentrickster
summary: talking to apollo in defendant lobby no. 3 has a... different outcome than nahyuta would've hoped for.
As Ema was apologizing to Trucy, the doors to the lobby opened and Nahyuta felt his heart stop.
"Oh!" Ema turned to address the new arrival.
"Prosecutor Justice?" He forced the words out of his mouth, old familiarity and Khura'inese threatening to spill through. "What are you doing here?"
The prosecutor barely spared him a glance and focused his attention on the detective. "Detective Skye."
"Y-Yes?"
"I require your forensic expertise in order to close this case." It felt wrong to hear his voice come out so quietly. That wasn't how it was supposed to be. "Come, let us go."
Ema gave the group a small wave and started to walk off with him.
"W-Wait!" Nahyuta called. "Prosecutor Justice!"
He didn't turn back. "The trial is over, Mr. Helios."
"So what? You—"
"There is no need for us to interact any further. We are strangers, and nothing more."
His heart froze.
Strangers.
Fifteen years was a long time. It was long enough to make his own memories of home fuzzy, but that didn't mean he forgot everything. He barely knew what was happening in the country at this point but that didn't mean he ignored things completely. But… did… "Did you really forget all about me?"
"What?!" Athena practically shouted in his ear. Widget chimed in with a relatively quieter ⟨YOU KNOW HIM?!⟩
His brother stopped walking away.
«I thought you were dead.» Nahyuta tried not to wince at his own Khura'inese. He knew it was rough, but hearing his brother speak it to cleanly in court made the difference all too clear. «Instead you turn up as a prosecutor and treat me like a heretic, like nothing Dad or Datz said ever meant anything. What happened to being a dragon? What happened to fighting to put an end to all this?» He closed the gap between them, hand fidgeting at his side. He wanted to reach out. They could pretend like nothing was different and reconnect and put everything that happened in the last 24 hours behind them. He could find out what changed and how he could help. It didn't have to be like this.
"What happened to you, Apollo?"
Apollo tore his hand away with a glare. "I have no time for a heretic bearing a dead man's name." With that, the prosecutor was gone.
The door slammed shut and his heart shattered.
"…Nahyuta?" Athena was uncharacteristically quiet.
Everything felt hazy. "Huh?"
"What the heck was that all about?" Her voice regained some of its usual energy. "How do you know Prosecutor Justice, and what in the WORLD did you tell him to get him to answer with… with THAT?"
"…I don't want to talk about it." He'd survived fifteen years without being able to contact his family and living with the knowledge that nearly everyone at home thought he was dead. He could survive another fifteen knowing his brother never wanted to speak to him again.
"Yuta…" Trucy looked worried.
"It's fine," he lied. "I'll manage."
Trucy pointed at him. "You're grabbing your right arm. You're not fine."
"Ignoring the problem is only going to make it worse," Athena chimed in. "You were skittish about him yesterday, too. Don't think I forgot about that."
Sometimes he hated being surrounded by lie detectors. It wasn't like chasing after Justice would help things, either. He was stuck in the same place he started all those years ago: that horrible, horrible limbo of wondering if the pieces would be put together and if he would die that night.
Athena sighed. "I know I was bad about not telling you guys about Simon, but this seems more… serious, than that."
"It's really not." It kinda was.
"Then what was all of that about a dead man's name?"
"I don't—"
Of course that had to be the moment when the phone rang.

Spirit of Justice rewrite
Had a moment where I really got thinking abt the game and went into rewrite mode— I don’t think I’ll expand on this concept for a bit because I have to finish DGS and have other projects I’m more invested in, but figure it couldn’t hurt to just throw down the ideas I have before I forget. Under the cut so I don’t clog the dash!
So first things first the biggest change I would make is relegating this game to spinoff land. My biggest issue with SOJ as a whole is how steeped the narrative is in some weird colonialism, and I think just taking the main cast out entirely could remedy Most of that. At the very least, making the entire cast Kuhrainese gets rid of the whole “we need foreigners to come and fix our legal system” thing, which is my main problem with the plot
Due to the above, Phoenix / Maya / Athena / Miles / etc are taken out completely. Apollo is too integral to the plot, so he gets replaced with an OC that serves as our protagonist. My current placeholder name for him is Hermes, but in this post I’ll just call him Protagonist
Protagonist keeps a lot of elements of the Apollo backstory— he’s the son of a traveling musician who died in the fire that “killed” Amara and was adopted / raised by Dhurke. I am tweaking it so that he’s 4 years younger than Nahyuta, mostly bc I thought that was canon the entire time
Instead of being sent to America, he’s sent to a temple. Dhurke assumes that because Nahyuta has royal blood, he’ll be safe at the castle and can safely keep an eye on things / his mama, while Protagonist gets sent to the temple because killing a monk would be a political disaster and that’s the only way Dhurke can think to protect him
Protagonist really wants to help the cause though, so he runs away from the temple at some point to become a bard-like figure, collecting information and helping the revolution while being a traveling musician. Using his status as an entertainer, he gets into places he otherwise wouldn’t to get intel and secretly studies law on the side
When his friend from his temple days (Ahlbi) is accused of theft and murder, he takes up the mantle of his adoptive father to defend him in court! No idea what his gimmick, if anything, will be. I think Dance of Devotion is enough but we'll see
Nahyuta’s plot is something that’s still very up in the air, but atm my biggest change is that he knows about Amara’s hiding and is being blackmailed to protect HER, not Rayfa. I’m unsure if I wanna keep the Rayfa sibling thing or not, but in spite of that the two are actually closer than in canon
Another big change is that because everyone is Kuhrainese and Ema is no longer in the game, there’s no detective! That’s where Rayfa comes in. I’m still shaky on the in-universe reason for her acting as quasi-detective, my current idea is that it’s imperative for her to get as much detail as possible so she can more accurately make her insights. Really I just wanna see more of her
By consequence, she’s around investigations much more often, following around both Protagonist and Nahyuta. Nahyuta in general just shows up more outside of the courtroom, and him and Rayfa have a strong bond and lots of banter with each other and the protagonist
Another slight tweak is that this game’s timeline is changed, taking place in the 90s and not the 2020s. The literal only reason for this is that I think Nahyuta studied abroad to learn about other legal systems and came back with the most out of touch 90s slang ever. He wears shutter shades in court
Final tweak for now is that the civil trial aspect of Turnabout Revolution is cut entirely, instead being replaced with a flashback case— Dhurke defending himself from the arson and regicide accusations with Datz as his co-counsel. It's simultaneously horrifying and silly
that's it for now! I might add more to this if I think of anything else :)

There's something I wish we talked more about...
Everyone likes wondering about how the big "Lamiroir is actually Thalassa Gramarye and Trucy and Apollo are her kids" reveal would affect our oblivious pair of half-siblings. But I noticed that a grand total of NO ONE thinks about how certain other characters would also take the news. Mainly in Apollo's Khura'in family. (There will be SoJ spoilers below)
Let's start with an easy one. Datz.
He already knows Apollo (as "AJ"), and it looks like he meets Trucy when saving Apollo and Dhurke from the undersea cavern. Obviously a generally fun-loving fellow who I bet would happily call Trucy an honorary Defiant Dragon if he caught wind of her being Apollo's sister. Doubly so when remembering she managed to stow away in Edgeworth's luggage to reach Khura'in. (Rule-breakers need to stick together!) He'd probably also assign her some kind of nickname like TW or something, and consider himself her new uncle. He also seems like the only one crazy enough to willfully be Trucy's magic assistant/guinea pig, which would spare Apollo and Athena.
Then comes Rayfa, our dear crown princess.
While not as emotionally invested as her brother (and we'll get to him), it would be a surprise to learn that "Horn Head" has a little sister. And it just so happens to be the girl with the strange blue hat who was watching from the gallery during the trial that got Ga'ran deposed. While a bit upset that she never really got to talk to her back then, Rayfa would be fairly alright with seeing Trucy as a sister of some kind... and discuss with her the ways of pestering both of their brothers all in good fun.
Of course, Trucy would be over the moon to the mere idea of calling Rayfa her little sister, especially when she's a literal princess on the road to being queen. Their personalities could bounce off of each other surprisingly well, and maybe Trucy can help Rayfa swallow enough of her pride to actually call either of the boys "brother." And thanks to Phoenix's connections to Maya and Pearl, Trucy knows other spirit mediums who might be able to help Rayfa in her training.
And now we get to someone with a bit more... complicated stake in the matter, and honestly the meat and potatoes for this whole post: Nahyuta.
Being completely honest here, I think our dear Last Rites Prosecutor would take this news as a complete slap in the face. "Let it go and move on" mantra be damned, he'd basically be told "Hey, remember your first case against Apollo? With that magician girl you tried to get convicted for murder who turned out to have been framed? Yeah, she's actually your brother's sister, which also kinda makes her your sister by proxy. You unknowingly tried to get your own sister condemned for murder and quite possibly put on death row." (Since, y'know, capital punishment's still a thing in Ace Attorney L.A.)
Even if we almost never see our Not Guilty defendants hold a grudge against the prosecutors, Nahyuta's entire deal in Spirit of Justice was doing everything he possibly could to protect his baby sister and his mom, being unnecessarily harsh with the defense and the accused in the process. So finding out that he tried to condemn someone who could be considered part of his family on a false charge wouldn't be without consequence. (Turnabout Revolution only proved that because of his parents' direct involvement.)
Undoubtedly, he'd see fit to apologize to Trucy personally upon learning about her being Apollo's little sister, and would do so at his earliest convenience. But we can all be certain that she'd gladly accept him as another big brother regardless of any perceived "past transgressions." There would be hugs involved, I'm sure, and Nahyuta would be able to... possibly bring out the protective and caring big brother he was supposed to be from the very beginning.
Side note: Y'know this here lightning thing you see with Amara when she gets mad? And also Dhurke's dragon glare when he goes Mad Dad on Paul Atishon?
I get the feeling Nahyuta would inherit either or both of their little tricks to some extent when his big brother instinct REALLY kicks into high gear.
