A thought on the IV. Tether lore
"Trust is built, Drifter," Eris said, "and you have taken the first step."
He was pensive. The movement of the coin over his knuckles stopped. She continued.
"I have found," she said, her words measured, "that one is grounded by honesty. Not only in oneself, but with those around you."
He heaved a slow, hard breath.
"I don't know if I can," he said, his voice small.
"Yes. Honesty is a supplication," Eris said. "We ask to be seen. We are made vulnerable… but it is necessary to be treated with care."
He has been honest, and in return she treats him with care 🥺
The growth between them is one of the things which makes their lore and relationship so beautiful. Two hurt and broken souls, finding solace and companionship in one another after suffering through severely traumatic events- it is what they both deserve after fighting so hard for so long. And now, they no longer have to fight alone- they finally have someone they can truly trust and fully rely on to hold one another up and support each other.
Another thing I loved about the moment in season of the Witch was when Eris asks him if he came to urge caution, he just says, "Nah. you know what you're about." that shows true trust. He does not doubt her, even through her taking on the form of an enemy race and running the risk of falling into the temptation of Darkness- he trusts her.
This just goes to show, they are in this to win it. If they proceed to go through with their relationship, that just shows and means that they truly love one another, and they are the missing puzzle piece each has been searching for for so long. Neither person would just rush into a relationship willy nilly, if they go through with this, it just shows how much they've grown in one another and how much they truly love each other.
Anywho, that's my Eris 'n Drifter talk, hope y'all enjoyed it (if anyone wants to discuss Eris and Drifter lore and such, absolutely feel free to send me a text- I'm always in the mood to discuss them)
