Description:

Sorush swooped down. “Do not avert your gaze from me,” she demanded imperiously, diving under the Wanderer's hat and peeking up to see his face. He furiously tried to hide his grin, but failed. “Aha! You are rightfully grateful for my aid!”
“…Don’t flatter yourself.”
She narrowed her eyes, tapping her chin. “No,” she mused. “No, I shan’t – for as my Yasnapati, such doings are your task, after all.”
“Dream on, little pest.”

What if Sorush were to be accompanied by someone else who can fly and knows a thing or two about self-sacrifice - and would absolutely roll his eyes into another dimension at her most noble and exalted life's mission?

Having played Khvarena of Good and Evil with Wanderer the whole way through, I couldn't help but envision them bonding and standing against the Abyss together - and Wanderer taking on the role of teacher of life lessons for once. He's been exactly where she is, after all.
