Oooooo another threat enters the frey. Poor Asuna has so much work to do. Xai Bau makes my blood boil, how dare he threaten Ty Lee, Lanxi or even Lin? On the upside, LINS ALIVE LETS GOOO! I feel like Lin is a sort of mentor/father figure for Asuna but maybe that's just me. They're old friends for sure but the way he gives her wisdom and was the person who cared for her when everyone else (save Ty Lee) betrayed her gives me loving father vibes, but maybe that's because Lin really is a father.
You're interpreting that relationship accurately. It's complicated for Azula because when she met Lin, his 10 years older than her made such a major difference in where they were in life. He was a full blown adult and she was still a teenager. But as time goes on, that 10 years stops mattering as much. Plus, it starts as a mostly professional/working relationship. Nonetheless, he has a deep loyalty to her, he insists on calling her the Empress, she values him. He helped make the Dragon Empress by bringing her out of the woods of Jingchan, she gave him a chance at more wealth and prosperity than he ever could've without her. They owe each other a lot.
So he does give her fatherly vibes, but they're also equals and offer that respect to each other.
I'm glad you're enjoying the story 😊😊 Book 5 comes out in November so keep going! And you'll have more of it soon enough!!
