#but especially relvin! the dude probably saw enough of liliana in imogen that he felt like there was no point in trying to get close to her

[somewhatsentientspellbook]

Part of me would love to see Bells Hells bring Relvin with them to the big battle with the Ruby Vanguard - if only to get a moment where he and Liliana reunite. Where they lock eyes for the first time in decades. A moment where they can see the grey in their hair, the lines on their faces, and the way they hold themselves like they haven't had anyone to lean on over the years.

Liliana would be forced to confront the past she thought she'd left behind. Of course there was a chance her Ruidusborn daughter would follow in her footsteps, but Relvin was just a man! He should have stayed far away, in Gelvaan, where she wouldn't have to think about him too hard.

Relvin would be forced to confront the woman he believed was his future. The woman who promised to stay with him, but disappeared because his whole self wasn't great enough to be her other half. He had spent decades wondering what had become of Liliana and her quest, and here she was.

She'd look at him and realise just what her single-minded goal robbed her of: a lifetime with the man she fell in love with. And he'd look at her and realise that he hadn't lied when he told Imogen her mother was dead... because the woman he knew died the day she left her family behind.

#liliana's the kind of lady to say “i broke the world for us” #and relvin is the kind of man to say “no... you just broke me” #their story is so fucking depressing and i feel so bad for their whole family #but especially relvin! the dude probably saw enough of liliana in imogen that he felt like there was no point in trying to get close to her #because if he wasn't enough for the woman who chose to be his wife - why'd he be enough for the woman who didn't choose to be his daughter? #critical role #cr3 #cr meta #bells hells #imogen temult #relvin temult #liliana temult #ruby vanguard
