Alasdair's Links
respect. suda is a powerful magic user with so much knowledge, and he's so willing to help alasdair with his own pursuits while exercising the proper amount of caution. he doesn't treat alasdair like a child despite both of them knowing the risks of their endeavours, and it's pretty cool to hang out with an actual heir to the empire he lives in!
respect and worry. the kid worries far too much, but suda appreciates what he's doing for their species. he's smart and keen and isn't afraid to take risks, and he doesn't get offended when suda reels him back in from the brink of doing something a little too risky. he sees alasdair as a troublesome little brother similar to rónán.
