I Like This Scene So Freaking MuchI Cant Say How Glad I Am You Designed This Idea. I Need It To Be Canon

I like this scene so freaking much…I can’t say how glad I am you designed this idea. I need it to be canon

From my back-and-forth w @innerchorus in the comments of a post of theirs, I can't stop rotating the scene in my head of Shapur pulling Kazai into an embrace after the Sindhuran duel before the gods thing (yup, it's now concrete that Kazai would be chosen by Rajendra instead of Daryun for a reason: said reason being Kazai's magic was perceived as him being favored by gods) uncaring of the gore and grime on his husband's face (I mean, man did rip out Bahadur's throat with his teeth) and it's a Sight™ to everyone else bc 1) he's being affectionate/intimate with someone?? (they kept their relationship pretty private in terms of affection) and 2) dude why are you letting his face and those biting teeth near your neck, didn't you see what he did to the other guy???

Shapur just doesn't care. He was afraid Kazai was gonna die, and he's just too relieved to care about any of that nor the gore getting on his cloak. It was meant to get dirty anyways, it's fine.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAND IT IS UP, FELLAS! HOO! Sure took an ordeal and a half to upload.

Can you elaborate on Zaravants father? The only thing I remember with him is when Zaravant was introduced because Munzir was sick (lowky thought he died off screen)

Ah, sorry for leaving this without a reply for so long, I was considering writing out a detailed summary of the whole Oxus mess but I think it's actually just easier if I point you towards the summary of Book 10 (obviously there are spoilers for various events of the second half). I did also discuss the situation in the comments of this post, too.

After infiltrating Peshawar Fortress, Hilmes returns to the camp wet and cold. Zandeh warms him up.

From Episode 14. Hilmes decides to leave Peshawar Fortress and return to Ecbatana rather than wait to see how things play out with Sindhura. This scene features just him and Sanjeh.

By contrast, here's the manga scene from Chapter 42, where Zandeh and the soldiers he inherited from Kharlan are present. This scene is accurate to the novel.

(Honestly, it's no wonder anime viewers thought Zandeh might be dead; if I recall correctly, after he fell down that cliff with an arrow in his back, he doesn't show up in the anime again until Team Hilmes are leaving to go and oust Bodin from Zabul Fortress!)
