Hmm. I like Deizil, but I think I'd prefer a callback to why Idelle has reason to distrust Ambraea.

Amiti had a tiny incident where a shadowland spirit of debatable dangerousness got away from her. Ambraea and Co dealt with it, but Idelle still wanted to tattle on poor Amiti, so Ambraea stole the memory. Idelle only knows that Ambraea cast a spell, and that she has a gap in her memory, but that is enough for some basic mistrust.

Ah, thank you, but I did remember that.

What I meant was, Hylo's problem is in many ways Hylo, and Deizil was the source of much of the friction with Deizil... but the enmity between Idelle and Ambraea is created by Ambraea, and I'm more interested in the trouble that she's had the greatest responsibility for.
 
Oh boy, the excretion is approaching the rotating device at rapid speed! I'm so excited! The line about the Mask Constellation just straight-up disappearing is great. And visiting that particular storage room... Hehehe. Demon Lord fight?

It's Calibration Time, demons are going to be a massive risk, I'd rather have someone whose both great at detecting and fighting them if something comes up.

He doesn't have any beef with Ambrea, and so is unlikely to betray her mid fight. Seeing him put his foot in his mouth will also be funnier to read imo.

I feel the problem is, even in a scenario in which Ambraea hadn't taken Idelle's memories, the odds are Idelle outs Amiti, which puts her distinctly on Ambraea's shit list, giving her cause to mistrust Ambraea anyway. Like Hylo and Deizil, conflict relating to someone dear to Ambraea put them at odds.

Like with Hylo, Ambraea's resolution of the issue worsened their relationship, but that was always a strong possibility. I don't feel you can say the problem was particularly more Ambraea's fault than the others. The situation was a clash of two mutually rigid and set in there ways young woman and they share the blame for the current state of affairs evenly in my opinion.

not that any of that invalidates Idelle as an interesting option. If anything, it makes it particularly interesting to consider Ambraea's perspective as the one who knows the source of their mutual enmity but will never tell.

I am not voting for Deizil because I think he is in any way safer or less problematic than the other two.

I am voting for Deizil because I adore him, the toxic little shit.

Looks like things aren´t going well for House Tepet. And Sola is more than a little angry at the apparent abandonment of her House by the Empress.
 
[x] Deizil / Because I want to see more of him

[x] Idelle / Because we took her memories and that might cause more drama, which is always fun
 
It seems to me that bringing a person who loves to talk and isn't as smart as they think they are into contact with a demon is a bad, bad, plan. Deizil is a big ol' nope to me.
