DEEPLY UNSURE 8(a He doesn't precisely mind that she's an elf and she seems nice enough and a good fit for Sterling! And she's very earnest and if there's one thing Aather could use it's more healers. He would like to get to know her better! She also just came into Aather at a time Mithos was still recovering from a terrible memory, so their first meeting definitely didn't go as well as it could have.

He got a bit shy of her very quickly because she brings up the issue of race and blood and half-breeding, which he'd personally put to rest for himself; because she could immediately tell his body was not real, which is a huge discomfort ping for him; and because she got into his personal space way too fast for even him to deal with. These aren't things he holds against her, but they're definitely...boundaries that need to be addressed before the social link can be upped again.

How's Winnowill finding Aather?
