Lynt Akedia/Relationships

## Relationships

Generally speaking, Lynt's relationships with the other princes is amicable probably because he's indifferent to most things; despite being strong and cleaver, he simply doesn't pose a threat to any of them. Lynt doesn't start or engage in conflicts with the other princes, and that may be another reason as well. While attitudes toward Lynt vary among tolerating well, liking, and fussing over, no one seems to dislike him.

### Dia Akedia

Dia wants Lynt to stay away from him while Lynt frets over Dia.

### Fenn Luxure

Fenn likes Lynt fusses over Lynt and they are friends.

### Guy Avari

Lynt assumes that Guy has a nice smell but Guy doesn't really hate Lynt. Guy lets Lynt lean on him. Guy's not excited about it, but he's not pushing Lynt off either.

### Lance Ira

Lynt is kind towards Lance. Lynt believes that must Lance have a gentle heart since he is kind towards animals (Cantrips of Courtship - Lynt's Route).

### Liam Akedia

Lynt adores and respects his father, so he's prone to listening to whatever his father says without question.

### Lou

During Lou's first meeting with Lynt, Lynt was fast asleep while being cradled by Tino. So, Tino had to greet Lou on behalf of Lynt. When he woke up, the first thing he asked Lou was how much time the academy allows for naps. Lynt doesn't recall any of this though.

### Norah Akedia

Lynt seems to have a good relationship with his mother. In his consort path, after calling off his engagement, Norah goes to meet MC. She thanks MC for helping change Lynt for the better and asks MC to take good care of her son. In the story event, Magical Acts of Intimacy, Lynt and MC go to Akedia during the Coldish Cleanse. Norah greets the two. When Lynt asks if MC can stay in his room, Norah agrees. Note that having premaritally sex isn't the tradition in Akedia, but judging by the way Norah winks at MC when she gives the two permission to share a room, it's also probably not a hard and fast rule.

### Phee

Phee is Lynt's squirrel familiar. She has big black eyes. She doesn't stay with Lynt and instead lives in the forests that are within academy grounds. Lynt has given her enough magic power to be able to understand the human language. According to the Court of Darkness Twitter, Lynt is really protective of Phee.

### Rio Voleri

Rio fusses over Lynt and they're friends. He admires Lynt for his ability to break up fights peacefully.

### Roy Invidia

### Tino Maes

Lynt and Tino have known each other since Lynt was a child. When Lynt was little, he called Tino "Chino," and the nickname stuck (Princes' Path). They have a strong bond and know each other very well. Tino acts more like Lynt's mom than his valet, literally feeding him because Lynt can't be bothered, and gets very anxious when he doesn't know where Lynt is. Lynt's favorite food is the bread Tino makes.

### Toa Qelsum

Lynt relies on Toa. In Lynt's perspective for chapter 16, Toa figures out that Lynt is being asked to return to Akedia by the volume of mail he's been receiving and how strangely he's been acting. Toa goes to the headmaster's office to pretend to be passing by so he can ask Lynt if he intends to return home. Lynt recognizes this for what it really is; Toa's worried about him. Lynt finds Toa's intelligence and decisiveness dignifying and beautiful. He thinks to himself that Toa is his closest friend. They don't hang out or anything, but Lynt always recognizes when Toa goes out of his way to be kind to him. Toa, on the other hand, has difficulty guessing what Lynt will do next and deems him an eccentric.

### Van Akedia

Lynt got his middle name from his grandfather. He says his grandfather is the blood relative he is closest to. Lynt's grandfather read to him frequently when Lynt was little and give him a book on elementary magic. Despite the book being aimed at children, Lynt takes it with him when he goes to Colde to attend The Royal Academy of Concordia.
