Laurent's Links
Laurent sees Ithelan as a mentor, and possible healthy father figure. Ithelan has taught him many tricks, such as spotting lies, and even tips and tricks on how to be a good leader. Laurent greatly looks up to Ithelan.
Ithelan doesn't show much emotion outside towards Laurent, but internally he cares greatly about Laurent. He feels like Laurent is a teenager still learning the adult life, and Ithelan has the need to protect him and of course, stop him from drinking.
