**Relationships**

## Family

### Seksan Ayre

Seksan and Oly were extremely close growing up. Oly mentioned to Tovia that Seksan was the one who encouraged him to get into the performing arts, which he began pursuing as a career. Seksan was extremely supportive of Oly, and agreed with him when he expressed his desire to leave Gellis' borders despite feeling saddened by his decision to leave. Seksan argued with their parents as well and opened up a diversion, which allowed Oly to leave the kingdom.

### Aspen Ayre

Aspen and Oly didn't spend as much time together as he did with Seksan, but he was extremely supportive of her dreams of becoming a guard and wished to ensure that she achieved those dreams no matter what. She was extremely overprotective of him and was adamant that he come to her for any protection he needed. She was determined to protect and help him as well, believing it was her duty as an older sister.

### Vinter and Zima Ayre

Vinter and Zima were kind and thoughtful, much more so than the average Gellis parents. Despite Oly preferring to spend his time in solitude rather than raising his reputation with those around him, they supported him and would often purchase whatever expensive and new art supplies caught his eye to encourage his hobbies. Seeing as arts of all kinds were heavily revered and supported in Gellis, his parents were extremely proud of him for pursuing a career in the arts and ensured that he never had anything but the best growing up. They were loving and attentive parents and have and will always want nothing but the best for Oly. They were surprised that he wished to leave Gellis and were initially hesitant simply because they were afraid someone like him would be stepped on and ignored. Though after some convincing, they agreed to allow him to leave, and wish to keep in touch via dreamwalking or letters.

### Josie Aster

Josie and Oly never had a good relationship. Oly heard of Josie through family trees and witnessed her rise to power. He was wary of her and believed that the Order should be cautious of her. The two never grew close and would often taunt one another whenever they met, seeing as Oly was a distant cousin, they never stuck to specifics and always referred to one another as "their distant cousin" or simply "cousin." Oly and Josie ended up on bad terms when Oly was assigned by Zain to monitor Marnina. This resulted in Josie and Marnina luring him to his death. Josie eventually revived him after coming to an agreement with him: that he would serve her should the need arise. Their relationship ultimately took a turn for the worse when she appeared alongside Srijan during the final days of his abduction to warn Srijan of Oly's life force. Oly felt betrayed and terrified of her in that instant, though he doesn't remember why he feels this negatively towards her, the emotions and distrust remain.

## The Order of Themis

### Noor Asra

Noor and Oly had good impressions of one another, Oly did good work, and Noor was one of the few who believed that Oly deserved a higher place in the Order. The two were never able to get close because of Oly's reclusive nature, but Oly somewhat admired Noor's abilities with magic, and Noor admired Oly's resolve and determination. The two were often paired up for missions simply because of how well they were able to fight together. Oly was able to adapt effortlessly to Noor's style, which was hard for most of the other fighters.

### Zain Slora

Zain and Oly had a strong friendship, as Zain had with most of the older Themis members. Oly admired Zain and felt indebted and grateful to him for his protection and assistance during the demon attack. During his time in the Order Zain entrusted Oly with many intense and important missions, believing that Oly's skills were more than adequate. Following his assistance of Marnina, Zain believes that Oly is a traitor and is extremely disappointed in him. He is hurt that Oly was so willing to betray him and did it without thought, while he would normally leave traitors alone and allow Ryu to hunt them down however he pleased, Oly was often paired with Noor, who holds much information about Themis' inner workings, making him an extremely important target.

## The Esmeray

### Ashwin Yarrow

Ash and Oly met at a small party that the Esmeray and Themis hosted in order to acquaint their members. Ash immediately noticed that Oly was standing off to the side and avoiding everyone, so he approached him and started talking. The two seemed to get along really well, with Ash dragging Oly out and introducing him to a few members of the Esmeray. Zain was pleased that Oly managed to make a friend, and the two were dispatched on their first assignment together: to find Mykia Csilla starting from a village she frequented called Taraxacum. They arrived there and were greeted by Maximon Sciuridae, who was the president at the time.

They completed the mission together and left to report back to their respective organizations. Throughout this time, they spent nearly all of their free time together, finding that they really enjoyed one another's company. They requested that they be put on all their next missions together, and grew extremely close. During initial war meetings, Ash and Oly always sat beside one another, and Ash would tease Oly and help him volunteer for the positions he knew his friend would excel at.

Oly came to care about Ash a great deal, and even calls him his best friend during a conversation with Cyrus. One of the main drives Oly has for surviving is to ensure that Ash's sacrifice didn't go in vain. He feels incredibly guilty for "being the cause" of his death, and feels both foolish for trusting him and putting him in that position, and grateful that he allowed him another chance. Following Ash's death, Oly circled back and collected his friend's weapon: a haladie, which he now uses in combat to commemorate him and remind him that every battle he fights is for Ash.
