Hagane

In The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, they say a debt of life is heavier than any monolith. Hagane wishes Shougo would just put it down already. The great “rescue” was an accident. Shougo was dangling from a mossy rock spire when Hagane, trying to get a better angle on a particularly lovely sunset, slipped. They tumbled, flailed, and collided with Shougo, sending both of them splashing into the river below. When Shougo came to, they saw Hagane emerging from the water, shades askew, salmon headgear dripping dramatically. Shougo swore fealty on the spot to the brave mystic who had saved them. Hagane has tried to explain it was a clumsy mistake, but their panicked expressions are always mistaken for intense spiritual focus.
