I love that after treating Colin as less than an equal and trying to intimidate him prior to their parting of ways, Deli is clearly the one more affected by meeting again and seeing how Colin has comfortably moved on and found comradeship (or at least allyship) with Raphaniel. Like Colin was a little salty about the skald comments, but in that wonderfully understated "i care just enough to say something because you're wrong" way, a minor injury compared to how Deli is "thrown" by seeing Colin and Raphaniel fighting together

#this isn't a shippy post by the way #i don't really see or resonate with that angle personally #but it's absolutely about power and influence and comradeship (maybe) and very mismatched expectations/approaches #they're just on very different levels with each other and very different headspaces #and that clash is compelling and hilarious by turns #honestly Deli being thrown feels more about Deli's perception of his own power being threatened than missing Colin or a sense of friendship #he likes to throw his weight around and with Colin it just. didn't land #(I love how Lou is playing Deli with this power-hungry boldness but a slightly blustery underlayer of insecurity) #anyway these tags are getting long but I'm loving all of this #dimension 20 #the ravening war #trw spoilers #op #sir colin provolone #thane delissandro katzon
