#ll grian n scar have this thing going on where they very obviously dont want to hurt eachother and skirt around it awkwardly as a result

[myrmica]

3l/ll scar understands people in the sense that he knows how to talk himself out of any given situation, and how to sell them things, but he doesn‘t Understand People. his alliance with grian in 3l wasn’t just a debt, but did he know that? ll scar acts like as long as he can make the right deal he’ll have that same kind of loyalty back in an instant, but that isn’t how relationships work. he thinks the contract will be enough because it was enough last time, but it wasn’t. and i don’t think he understands himself either, everything 3l/ll scar does is transactional... he almost doesn't let himself function beyond that level
