Asterie's Links
Asterie appreciates the opportunities that Kishi has provided her with, and she very much puts a little extra energy into trying to please and impress him. Part of her knows that's not necessary, but she can't help herself.
Asterie is Korvus' niece. While she has nothing against her uncle personally, she is a little afraid of interacting with him too much, in part because of her secret role as a government agent; she doesn't want to give him a reason to be suspicious of her. Plus she thinks he's kinda weird. However, she does check in on him sometimes so she can report back to Kishi.
Korvus is Asterie's uncle. He doesn't have a close relationship with her, but thinks she's got a good head on her shoulders. He's offered her a job with him before, and is only a little bitter that she keeps politely declining.
