first OC thought of 2024 is brought to you by HW we love to see it !
#more specifically I’m thinking about sohm al#and how half of the journey through it is just tedious amounts of climbing/walking up a mountain#important note: eyrie and alphinaud still aren’t on the best of terms#they are cordial and kind but eyrie remains distant towards him#much more of the WoL compared to eyrie#but on the trek up the mountain there’s a patch of slick rocks#eyrie tells alphinaud to go in front of them and becuase the poor lad can’t catch a break#he ends up slipping and nearly going off the edge until eyrie grabs a hold of him#and it’s not a nice grab a hold of him. it’s a hang onto the boy for dear life and hoist him back up#carry him the rest of the way up the narrow slick path and set him down in a safe spot to look him over#it’s terrifying for the both of them but it’s hugely eye opening for alphinaud#just how scared eyrie looked when they caught him. it wasn’t the hero scared to lose an innocent life#it was *eyrie* scared to lose a friend. someone they cared about deeply even if they didn’t talk about it#it was the unknowing push they both kinda needed to work on their friendship#Estinien talks to eyrie about it at the camp near the Zenith when it’s just the two of them left awake#eyrie confiding in Estinien about the loss of their father to a similiar situation around Alphinaud’s age#and how they couldn’t bear the thought of losing the boy#estinien noticing how much eyrie cares for the boy as a father does but he keeps that to himself#shdndndn AHHH#me slapping HW this expansion can fit so much eyrie and alphinaud friendship development in it#they are dear friends. eyrie is alphinaud’s father. alphinaud continues to be the spark of hope eyrie needs#without it they would have consigned themselves to loosing estinien for the greater good#oc: eyrie kisne
