I love the gloss on the lips & the little fangs!

She & Ryne now leave letters for each other if they don’t see each other in Hex visits to the First. Hex also occasionally writes to Ameliance (like the twins but shorter & less often) & Erik (he taught her reading & writing Eorzean, though she finds herself often glazing over parts of his letters)

Oh yeah, Hex used to have crush on Hilda (which complicated ‘Thancred & Hilda going off together’ thing better than what I have now tbh) but then Hex ended up with 0 interest in anyone or even idea of love/lust for 26-27yrs. She still admires Hilda, but isn’t attracted to her in current lore plans.

Another is Estinien. Hex was originally going to continue to be a hater, but seeing a lot of the similarities they have as strictly muscle in a group of a scholars, they now have more of a sibling relationship (they still say they aren’t fond of the other, but that’s pretty on par for siblings).

But this was mostly just self motivated to Hex, not knowing if Minfilia thought anything of her more than just a very powerful Echo haver.

At some point, Hex finally meeting someone else with the Echo, followed eventually by their shared interests as gatherers somehow turned them into good friends⤵️
