💎💎💎!! If you are up for it! I’d love to know Tristo’s opinion on either of the twins! Whomever you prefer 💕

(Thanks for the ask!~ He's such a grump and Lariel is too good for him 😔)

Tristo's expression shifts faintly at the mention of Lariel, lips pressing a little bit tighter, eyes narrowing ever so slightly--it's hard to tell if it's a frown or a smile that he's trying to make.

"What a... charming, young woman," he muses, voice calm and even by belying the faintest hint of curiosity. "She looks frail," he adds bluntly then, expression slacking to it's usual cold state of neutrality. "It's hard not to measure others based on what my standards would be for a fellow Hellknight." At first he seems content to leave his assessment at that, it's more than enough information for a review of an armiger he thinks, but then he breathes a small sigh and continues. "Her skill with magic is impressive though."

Every word is spoken in a steady, measured tone, like he's already given this a lot of thought, like he's actually making an effort to be personable while still being honest. "I can relate to the... nature, of her magic. Being a sorcerer, especially one whose magic comes from multiple bloodlines, is to walk a fine line between order and chaos, and I'm very much aware of the difficulties that can create, even if I disagree with the side of that line she seems to tend to step towards." His expression shifts again, a faint micro-smile pressing his lips tight again. "She would make a horrible signifer, but I imagine her abilities are on par with some and far exceed most, even if her discipline isn't quite up to our standards."

"I think she's useful," he finishes. "That's the best thing a person can be, especially around the Worldwound."
