    You gotta understand that the cooler a form looks the worse it is for the protagonist. That's why superpowered evil sides exist!!!

    Laios is the definition of an acquired taste. He's really weird and hard to get close to, either because he's this repressed loner or because he opens up too soon and you get blasted with his weirdness, but once you get through that, you get it.

    No worries, I forget things about DM all the time. Like the fact that despite the dwarves being super isolationists even from each other, they DO have a king... that they love to ignore. I was looking itno things for the next arc and I laughed at how dwarvish that is.

    I kinda want Marcille and Laios to just not address this for the whole trip back, simply because they forgot before getting on the convoy and the don't want to risk being overheard by the old man, so Falin is doing her best owl impression and twisting her head to follow Asivia the whole way through.

    Don't knock yourself for assuming that because, truth be told, when she first entered the planning stages, she really WAS going to be that. She was going to be like this undercover princess of Kakha Brud or something and would have a tug of war between Laios choosing between duty (not starting a war with the nearest country) and love. I just found it very tropey and I went back to the drawing board after talking with people that, while they don't defend Asivia, comment that there's plenty of reasons for her behavior and those are less explored than "aha power hungry hussy".

    Yeah no, I do agree that there's straight up evil people in the world. I believe there's less than most people believe, as most evil can be explained by circunstance, but there's been plenty of people that legitimately had zero reason to turn out the way they did and they still did the things they did.

    That would be what Laios calls his dream/succubi Marcille. If they ever share a dream again, maybe his toungue slips?

      Thats true!!!!

      Also true!!!

      Oooo now im interested in how much power the Dwarf 'King' really has. Like what can the king REALLY do, i wonder if kui will ever expand on it. The super isolationist thing is interesting, i wonder if that causes a lot of linguistic divergence. It 100% causes cultural divergence but maybe the dwarves have like some technology that allows them to keep a standardized dwarven tongue. Then again, that wouldn't be very isolationist lol. TheUnknowingDwarvald. Wait a minute!!! Did you name yourself after your curiousity?

      Poor asivia omgg. Okay but thats kinda hot though. Scary Falin is too cool!!!

      Honestly, I'm 100% confident this story would've been amazing either way because I have confidence in your writing skill bUT I am also very glad we got this route instead. I kinda like asivia, even before the hints, so I'm glad she's being given a chance to mayyyyybe join the gang. Marcille and Falin are gonna be scawwy though lol

      Fax

      haha lol!! unless...??

        As for the dwarf king, I'm guessing it's similar to other fantasy settings like Warhammer Fantasy and LOTR. Where dwarves ignore the king for 99% of their lives, but they are the loyalest motherfuckers when someone crosses their king or when their king says they gotta shape up and do something. The king is less a person they respect and more a symbvol for the race. They won't defer to a random guy on a throne, but when THEIR guy on the throne is getting disrespected, they are gonna fuck you up.

        Nah, my name was an allusion to my very first fic i published. Where the OC MC was the herald of the plot to come, without knowing it. He was the first domino in a way. Hence the unknowing herald.

        Asivia probably can get anyone she wants if she stops acting desperate. Everyone (but Laios) could smell that desperation and that's why she kept drawing blank. If she doesn't trust in her own value, why would anyone see any in her?

        Like I showed in my one-shot which is Les adjacent, Asivia does sorta join "the gang". Not super close but part of the workforce. I say adjacent because I don't wanna comit to everything in that thing being canon. If it can be canon by the end of Les, I can call it that, for now it's just a suggestion of what may happen.
