Irilme's Links
Irilme views Audryl as a younger brother, one who needs guidance and protecting. She feels he's impressionable and naiive, and far too easy with his affections to be safe in the world.
Audryl loves Irilme. For awhile he imagines it to be a romantic love, to her dismay, but it cools down into an easy, familial bond. He's comfortable around her, and trusts her very much, though he's not terribly quick to follow all of what she says, unless it pertains to the care of their horses.
Irilme thinks Viris is immature and makes sure not to give him a single inch, lest he walk all over her. She grows familiar enough with him to get attached, though at the start she was far too wary of him to let him get close. She fulfills her duties as a stablehand well, and at the very least appreciates that he doesn't bother her with trivial tasks or lord his position over her, something she expected to happen. Irilme is also irritated with him for playing her, once she realizes he never had any designs on Audryl beyond mentor-ship.
Viris really, really likes Irilme. He likes how she's equal parts stubborn and level-headed. She's strong-willed and isn't one to back down from a fight, though usually the fights are with cutting wit rather than blades. He doesn't realize it, but she reminds him a lot of the tough orc women from his home near The Borderlands.
