i just got here but sincerely what is wrong with dorian pavus. he’s a necromancer. he helped invent time travel with his phd supervisor; this is never touched upon again. he comes out to you in front of his homophobic dad by going “sex. with men. ever heard of it”. he’s canonically so good at magic that he can keep up with god in conversation about it. constantly complains about the weather and all while he has one tit out at all times. his backstory is that he’s simultaneously a delinquent and a girlboss. he’s an alcoholic. his facial hair is completely fucking indefensible. h
i cannot stop thinking about the talmberg raid. the fucked up mission that ends either before the true shitstorm happens, or after hans gets shot, or henry nearly killed.
they both back out of the glorious quest on behalf of the other.
henry just freshly realized he has yet more people to lose in his life, but hans is one of them, and he won’t lose both radzig and hans.
and hans, for the first time in many years, cares deeply for a friend, a real friend who stood by him all this time.
hans goes on the raid (and robard is asking him, are you SURE MY LORD because honestly, this may end up badly) and hans is all light hearted about it for henry’s sake, because someone has to keep this hothead in line, right? and oh, the famous battle awaits! but it’s really all for him.
henry is more reluctant to leave this quest without saving the hostages, because he still has someone inside. he understands how serious the trouble is only when hans gets injured, only then he kicks into action. he must choose.
hans immediately, without a question, nopes out the moment he might lose henry to the raid.
