Surya Asphodel's Links
Thinks of Brand as a mentee, perhaps even... a friend? They do care about him, but good luck hearing them say that.
Brand thinks he and Surya are friends, but he's honestly not sure how he feels about them. He barely knows them, but somehow he feels safe with them.
Surya sees a difficult future ahead of Mandragora. They may not be able to save her from it, but if there's a little bit they can do to make her more comfortable along the way...
"She- help me lot. I like her"
