I’ve been thinking about eyrie and lyse something bad lately omg
#thinking about by virtue of spending time with papalymo they spent time with her#and how she would always try and get them out of their shell. always poke and prod at them with the best intentions#how they would call each tentative friends—if not eyrie was someone who looked out for her#and she knew they were sad and tried her best but it’s the sort of sad they’ve carried for years#but they don’t see each other again until after the dragonsong war ends#and there’s no time for catch up. there’s so much that happens#papalmyo is a kick in the stomach to the both of them#and there’s some bickering there too#eyrie bottling up the grief and the blame#the dynamic between them just. doesn’t fit anymore#neither of them are the people they used to be#and it’s extra sad throughout stormblood that lyse is moving up#and she is so determined and ready to face what is being put in front of her#it will be tough but she will manage#while eyrie is sitting there falling to pieces#they really don’t share any of lyse’s feelings#it is going through the motions. it is I am a tool to be used please use me so I don’t have to think#it’s not until 4.1 where it really clicks for lyse and eyrie how much they have changed#when eyrie kills the Qalyana woman before she can do the summoning ritual#the without a thought split second action they took#they have a nasty confrontation about it#and it’s just this kicker of lyse asking them what happened#what happened to the person she knew?#and it’s a moment where eyrie has it all shoved in their face#of just like. what did happen to them. what happened to the friend lyse had#it’s a bad time#and the relationship between the two of them hasn’t ever really gotten over that hurdle#it’s so much of how time changes the people we care about into what we cannot recognize#and the helplessness and grief that follows it and realizing how things can never go back to how it used to be#oc: eyrie kisne
