Bahari's Links
The first individual he met in forest, thus making her the longest held. Does not trust anyone, but Selene is the only individual that comes close, and the only one he would put faith in as well as trust. Finds her soft, yet in the same breath finds her far greater in bravery than he has seen some men. Confused by the contradictions, yet endeared at the same time.
First knew him as Lotan. The first man she's ever met, and the first man she has considered a friend. Their relationship started as a playful encounter at the pond in which Selene was eager to test the boundaries of her limits in the new world of The Endless Forest, but she was surprised to find hints of a truly complicated individual behind the burly, masculine visage. While not entirely unlike the men of her homeworld, he unseated a lot of presumptions about male humans, and she has since developed a bit of an innocent obsession with him and the opportunity he provides in expanding her knowledge of the world of men at sea. He brings up a strange mix of exhilarating feelings that result in her feeling a tad insecure and a desire to impress. Knows on some level that the deeper a friendship she forges with him, the more questioning there is to her belief system and the path in life she had imagined for herself. Hearing a strangely similar sentiment from him regarding *her* ought to have served a deeper caution, but it ended up only solidifying the belief that he has earned her loyalty. And he let her choose an item from his treasure! Doesn't value such things for monetary value herself but understands the gravity of the gesture.
Despite being disinterested in her affections and seducing at the time, made a trade with the Queen. Doesn't trust her at all, and views her as a whore and a witch, but not about to risk their business arrangement, so uncharacteristically keeping his descriptive words about her to himself.
Had her advances declined, but her proposal for trade accepted. Has since grown disinterested in seducing the man, and more interested in exploiting his wealth for herself to gain.
A connection that bypassed any stage of spark and instead was an immediate eruption the moment the two exchanged so much as two sentences between them. Despite how turbulent their encounters were, found Captain and Jarl to be fiercely stubborn in the wake of it, and found themselves on a consistent basis finding the others company. Tension was surely to boil over, and it did in the form of intimacies. It seemed to have been the missing piece of their peace, as the Thief found themselves on more common ground and with better understanding of one another. Born from their intimacy was that of respect, and then, ultimately, a partnership in business and trade. At first it was easy to pretend he did not notice a subtle change in the Jarl towards him, how her care turned more tender and her need with a little more hunger, as it had occurred during a stage he was falling for another, and he did not wish for the mess of truth. On multiple occasions entertained the idea of their partnership turning more romantic, and in the late of night, when he was alone with his own company, he would imagine it so and how it did not seem as terrible as he initially perceived it to be. Disallowed the continuation of their intimacy and closeness when things changed course with Minh, expressing it verbally upon their last mission together. A worry for the Jarl to be distant from his life since then has seemed to have been misplaced, which he is reassured of. Mother to, what he believes, are his only two surviving children.
Met originally through Sabit.
Man who has gained her admiration and is viewed as an equal. Someone who have turned her little soft for and have managed to activate her cravings towards intimacies. Trusted on a point and valued highly as an business partner. Someone who have made her develop some feelings for, but for now she wants to keep things more businesslike, with a twist of enjoyment. Definitely a man, she'd miss after longer absences.
//Need updating!
An individual the stallion didn't see coming, nor the way their relationship sparked and blazed near instantaneously. Fell into lust for Dove rather quickly and immediately, letting toxic traits consume him with his need for their company. Reeled himself in upon distance, something that was a forcing, rather than a want at the time. And, was able to come back from losing himself in Y because of it. Could not deny the draw back every now and then upon reunions and reconciliations. Entertained thoughts that he would take to his grave, but ultimately ended in a sense of betrayal of a confession given from Dove. Cannot find it in himself presently to appreciate the final honesty of the fact, as betrayals, for the Captain, are things little can be redeemed from.
A big owie. Need to redo
needs updating
Important and cherished figure in the yokai's life. Despite the tumultuous times in their shared past and mutual woundings and hurting for different reasons, holds little against the Thief now that a certain conversation patched the damage and allowed a healthy form of healing. Often found to be something steady and firm to lean on yet knows he is much more complex than his tough exterior suggests, and so hopes to be able to provide him something good in return, even if unsure of their abilities to do so. Believes to have seen his light and his shadow; his shell and what lies under it, and finds themself endeared and attracted whenever glimpses of tenderness have been revealed. These days, feels as though they understand Bahari better than before and relates to many of his finer details. Grateful to the pirate for many experiences and reasons alike, and fondly continues to hold him in their heart, guarding with tender warmth. Cautiously testing the waters with in a romantic sense.
A quiet companion initially that turned into something more in-depth. Has invited her back a couple of times to his world for drinks and companionship that is not tied or burdened to anything heavy. Appreciates her company in every world offered, finding it a sort of calm, that he is not expected anything of or given a feeling of need for depth when it is not sought. Their relationship is viewed as both shallow and deep, a perfect blend and harmony of both for the Captain. An easy presence sought for the lulls of his storms when he is not right for therapy chatter.
Silent but comfortable presence she would neither hesitate to seek out, nor refuse his company when he finds her. Quietly curious of.
Respected for many reasons, and enjoys his company. Would come to the aid of without a need for ask.
A friendly face. The Razorbills presence during times were support was needed is greatly appreciated and respected, only tightening this new bond further.
Known to him, his second born son.
Father. Strong family bond. Secure presence, comfort, yet is slightly scared of their demeanor as he has seen only a small side of him.
Known to him, his first and only daughter.
Biological father. A looming dark presence that brings shadow to her light. Upon her maturing, finds a darkness and mystery that she is drawn to and a wish to step in, as well.
An acquaintance made some months ago, and was immediately and initially distrustful of the Rousette, for reasons solely held to her relation and link to the Queen. Away from all else, came to realize how vastly different she was to the Desert Snake, and how seemingly genuine she was in her words and actions. Allowed the banter and teasing, if only because he respected and believed she was respectful of him and his boundaries, should any be broached.
Introduced to the Thief of Sea a few months ago, through Mirah, when he was seeking assistance for a contract. Did a favor for, despite it being for the Queen primarily, but came to enjoy the Captain's company when he was away from his crew and men. Has seen on one more account afterwards, when her assistance had been given. Grateful for the guidance in a new journey, and despite not taking to heart his sullenness, does not pretend he enjoys her presence in any manner. A fun individual to rile up, regardless, and does just that as if she has known the man for a millennia.
Curiosity and draw
Curious about • Very impressed by the male, the some moments spent with Bahari were quiet, which is appreciated by Quiétude.
An initial curiosity upon appearance has only furthered since conversing. Holds back a multitude of questions regarding the other and his life. Humored, silently, by their yin and yang upbringing and comforts.
Growing interest in Stallion's personality, putting together who he is.
Met shortly after she first had stumbled into the forest, confused and with her memory loss - found some comfort in the conversations shared with the stallion during those confusing times. Appreciated company.
Widow. Met through a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a frie.... Bestowed the utmost of trust into currently, but cant say he's unsure if it was the right decision or not.
always in a bad mood have some bread
An acquaintance met through Widow. Hired muscle once that left a decent impression on.. so much so that the Captain is liable to do so again.
Met through Kalei. Found himself accepting an odd job from the Captain that left the Firebrand with eagerness for duty outside of home. Extended an offer for further trades if the Thief happens to find his need for more muscle furthered.
A memory wiped, still there would linger something familiar about the Devils Hand.
An acquaintance from a decade ago, back when the Captain was a much younger man without the exterior visual of the life he's led. Had initially attempted to lure him to Sin, but upon a gaze to his soul, knew he would get himself there before long, and that he was already heading to. Because of it, simply enjoyed his company for what was given, and even disclosed her own meaning and path. It is not often she gets to have meaningful and in depth conversations with her meals, or would be meal. Before next morning, when he would wake, she would rid his memory of their time together and leave just before the sun touched the ground.
