Sev lied his best, but was found out anyway.

### Tristan Flamesong

Tristan and Sev have not shared much in the way of interactions. Despite being comrades, until Wings of Shadow, they were in different roles that had no real collisions.

He does care for Tristan, as shown when he frets over Tristan's imprisonment.

### Ilithya Shadowheart (Trix)

Ilithya is Sev’s mentor and friend. She lured Sev into helping her poison Belden’s army. Sev often looked to Trix for help. He relied on her a lot, so much that when he had the phoenix eggs the first thing he thought was to bring them to her. Trix’s death rattled him greatly.

Trix was both a mentor and a rather dubious friend to him. They were allied tenuously based on blackmail, even though Sev did feel (albeit not openly) disgusted by the bondaged animages' treatment. He didn't often agree with the methods, but he did feel grief for her.

### Hestia

Hestia is the healer who healed Sev when he was injured. Stern and gruff, she was stalwart in her duty as a healer to him.
