copying text that I sent a friend, but!

emet reminds eyrie of what they know of their grandfather on their mother’s side.

They never had the chance to meet him, and their mother rarely spoke about him. but he was a kind man—far too kind for the world. And he loved his wife. and the loss of her drove him mad with grief. he treated his children with scorn and distain until he took a long hard look at them, and walked out into the wilderness never to be seen. Their mother said it was the grief that killed him, in the end.

But, this has always been something they’ve known second hand though—they don’t know what it was like. what happened to their grandfather. they can ponder over what grief did to him, but there is no fully understanding what went on inside of a dead man’s head.

And eyrie thinks about that a lot in regards to emet.

#they see the evil in emet and the atrocities that he has committed #for what he thinks is an end which justifies the means #deeper down still they know it’s love. too much love #eyrie thinks about it a lot as they get to know emet more #and like. they never approach him with antagonism #they are always curious and they talk with him #it’s funny for emet because them hating him the least is both surprising and not surprising #surprising in that they aren’t as simple as just The Hero but not surprising because of course they aren’t as simple #it’s like. eyrie is fine with having emet around and his deal he offers #not out of stupidity or ignorance—they are too smart for that #but because they genuinely want to know and to understand even if they know how it will all turn out #I’m back to rotating shb in my head #oc: eyrie kisne #but yeah I didn’t know how to think about eyrie and emet for a while until this hit me upside the head
