Asmundr/Relationships

Overview ⬩ Gallery ⬩ **Relationships** ⬩ Synopsis

## **Main Party**

### **Cypress**

Asmundr looks to Cypress with a degree of admiration. He finds the curiosity of Cypress to be amusing. Asmundr finds little disagreement with him when it comes to morals, and places a fair amount of trust in his capabilities to get a job done. Cypress’s attachment to his monastery and his fellow monks is something Asmundr wishes to help him restore in future.

However, Cypress’s tendency to rush to action is a problem to him. While he does recognize that there are times where everyone will come across a temptation to act quickly, Asmundr believes that to follow that temptation is blind recklessness that could hurt the person and others. While they have not had many moments together, Asmundr hopes to have time to share wisdom with Cypress and hopes to learn something from him as well.

### **Grinn**

Asmundr’s opinion of Grinn has changed with time. While he does not mind his ruthless nature in times of survival, the consistent recklessness and the potential for the combination of those two qualities to cause harm to the party left Asmundr with little to desire of Grinn. With Grinn, Asmundr’s early opinions were weighed on how much of a liability Grinn could be compared to how useful he was when faced with those pursuing the group.

Asmundr has a conflicted fascination with some of Grinn's ideals. In many cases, the two have the same idea but will differ on the means of achieving it. After a conversation between the two, Asmundr’s opinion has changed from one of utility to capability. Grinn seemed to reflect on his past actions and expressed a sentiment of change. Asmundr wishes to see Grinn become something better than what he had originally seen.

### **Ko**

Asmundr’s standoffish nature to strangers made initial impressions of Ko rather harsh. Ko’s impulsive nature clashed with Asmundr’s careful nature often. These constant clashes created a feeling of apathy towards Ko. Ko’s unique changeling features also fostered a level of distrust, seeing his casual use of this ability as an unnecessary lie made manifest. The only care toward him was one of utility, that as long as he didn’t drag the group down, Ko was tolerated.

Admundr acknowledges this view was a betrayal of his morals. He even admitted that in a way, Ko had done things Asmundr would have done had he considered themselves friends. Having reflected on past events and on himself, Asmundr sees Ko in a new light. He is sympathetic to Ko’s fears, and now wishes to help him in whatever way helps make Ko feel whole again. While he does not regret his past opinion of Ko, Asmundr looks forward to being a part of Ko’s life that he can look back to happily.

### **Milly**

Asmundr’s initial thoughts of Milly were similar to the ones of the other party members. Although he found her rational and curious nature much more tolerable than some of the other’s, she was just another stranger to him. While crossing the mountains on their way to Lund, it was Milly’s expression of her frustrations that started a process which would have Asmundr reflect on his recent actions and his morals. Because of this moment, Asmundr has a new found appreciation for Milly’s arrival.

Because of the impact she had on him, at perhaps the lowest point of his life, Asmundr made it a point to pay back the sentiment. In return for what he believes was a rediscovery of his morals, Asmundr promised her to always be there to help reach her goals. However, only part of this promise could be attributed to his gratitude. In reality, Asmundr can see that Milly suffers and the promise is just as much of a commitment to himself to help someone as it is to be there for her.
