thinking about aurene again. she and harley have a much closer relationship than whatâs shown in canonâthe two are basically dad and daughter. and thanks to harleyâs influence, his aurene speaks more casually and musically, jokes around more often, and loves to try new food despite not needing to eat anymore.
their closeness is a double-edged sword, however! in his efforts to give her the most loving and normal childhood he could, harley ended up coddling her too much. sheâs still reliant on him after she ascends, and it comes back to bite her in the ass when he gets shot by bangar and has to step away for the rest of ibs. his absence is something neither of them anticipated or prepared for and now dragonâs watch is arguing over what to do without the commander and theyâre looking to her for Elder Dragon Wisdom and sheâs like âI DUNNO!!!! đ° just because i can see every possible future doesnât mean i know what to do with that information!! this is so hard i want my dadddd đâ sheâs immature and sorely ill-equipped to handle a civil war.
it feels so unfair. of course sheâs not ready for this, sheâs never had to be before! one second she was a teenager burning herself out with brazen heroics in lws4 and now sheâs the elder dragon of prismatic light. aurene thought she would at least get a few years to ease into it. she and harley also both operate on different timescales compared to everyone else bc their senses of time are warped; harleyâs due to being a chrono and aureneâs due to being an immortal dragon. who was Raised by that chrono. both of them are very âbig pictureâ thinkers!
so when aurene suddenly finds herself having to make these big decisions, she calls her dad consults her champion. harleyâs advice is to use her future vision to compare potential timelines, see which one has the best ending, and reverse engineer it from there. on paper it sounds pretty good, but by the time she finishes comparing and actually chooses a future, she comes back to dragonâs watch like âOKAY, you guys need to convince smodur toââ âaurene, smodur got sniped two weeks ago đ€š heâs dead.â
she takes too long deliberating and makes bad calls that get people killed AND jormag is in her head. she might as well be down for the count as far as the fighting is concerned. @hawkepocketsâs prem ikaros is there to fill in for harley for the rest of ibs, but itâs just a horrible time for everyone involved :-]
#lost steam towards the end there but ehhhhhh#the important thing. is that this ^ is how i explain aurenes passiveness during ibs#second most important thing is that harleys aurene is a bit more ourple than canon. thats all#shes immature. shes lost without her dad. she thinks shes smart enough to debate jormag as an equal. SHES MY SPECIAL LITTLE PRINCESS!!!!!#when eod rolls around tho harley and aurene are BACK baby !#every time i get Aurene Brain i just listen to sad machine on loop. its her song#gw2#oc: harley vuong
