​

[Familiar]
✧ Name: Deacon, Son of Warren
✧ Relation: Friend - Admittedly Pleasant Company
✧ Opinion: “I have a fondness for him, despite the distance between our two upbringings. His is the face that has made me feel most welcome in this foreign city. I am glad to have his company, and for each meal that we have the opportunity to share between each other. It is an odd kinship, for whilst he is amiable enough, his humor is.. debased. But compared to the rest of the Landing's company, a lack of etiquette is a tolerable trait, I think. I do not know how he shall fare as a captain, and I have my concerns, but he has proven himself to be a man of surprises." You’ll come by again soon, won’t you?

[Familiar]
✧ Name: Joseph Seeker
✧ Relation: Friend - A Welcome Guest
✧ Opinion: “Am I to be flattered by the ambitions he places upon me? He confuses me, as much as his uncle does in his motivations. Who is he that should see what I cannot? Yet he is kind; his actions and body both attest to that. I do not know by what cause his body has thus been ravaged - what weapons made those scars to appear, nor what horrific powers could transmute his flesh into that piece of sacrilege, as chilling as it is beautiful. I do know that no man should retain that disposition out of ignorance of his suffering, but only despite it. In some ways, it makes it easier to accept his teasing. The way in which his laughter spills so freely, it is difficult to aptly put, but it leaves the room lighter with its addition, and pushes my own offense aside.” Why you have taken to me, I cannot say. Regardless, it is a pleasant sense in knowing that one is wanted. Be safe, Forester.

[Familiar]
Name: Jaden Seeker ‘Mr. Jaden’
Relation: Teacher - Esteemed
Opinion: "I scarcely know where to begin. Yours and Joseph's world is so, so far beyond anything that I've come to understand. It's daunting, but beautiful, too. I cannot help but envy you, even if I know it is not a gift that was easily possessed. I doubt that I shall ever possess the same, nor come to fully comprehend it, but-.. I am immensely grateful for what glimpses you have offered to me. and continue to offer. I do wonder, though, why you act so graciously. Are all mages so free with their magicks, or is it a testament of your kindness?" When those days of peace come again, will you allow me to play for you?

[Uncertain]
✧ Name: Joseph’s “Uncle”
✧ Relation: Mysterious Benefactor - Baffled
✧ Opinion: “Of all the wonders that I have since been exposed, of devils, gods, and magicks, none so far have cast as pure a confusion as this man does. For in these former aspects there is at least a comprehension of their unknowability, and a relief that follows in knowing there is a limit to how far an individual can delve into their studies. This man, however..- he.. is an entirely separate enigma which leaves me struggling to keep up. Were it not for Mr. Seeker’s confirmation of his existence, I should doubt my perception of him at all, as he appears so suddenly and departs as swiftly as a passing wind. Like the wind, it is only by his effects on his surroundings (and myself) that I should even realize his presence.” The knowledge that you might be fond of me, and that my meeting with your nephew was orchestrated by your own hand only incurs a further feeling of loss. Just..- who are you, actually?
