This week's drifter and Eris lore

So for those of you who might not have read this week's new lore entry, here it is. It's the fourth entry in the "Purpose" lore book, this chapter called "Tether." The tldr is Drifter wants Eris to talk to Sloane because Eris is really good at talking people through their emotions. Eris feels like this is out of the blue, and tells Drifter that he should do it instead.

Since Drifter and Eris' relationship started to be something more than friends, I've always felt that Eris is probably bi or pansexual. I think she is definitely into Drifter now and she at least had a crush on Ikora (though it's fun to imagine Ikora and Eris dated a bit long ago).

Anyway, this lore entry definitely drops a lot of hints that these two are going to end up in a relationship. The first two lines are: "Eris let her eyes wander over the interior of the Derelict, wondering if Drifter had hastily tidied it before her arrival. Unprecedented, but he could still surprise her." They've had a few of these conversions on Drifters ship in lore and this is definitely the first he's tried to organize the hot mess that is his ship.

At one point, Drifter doesn't feel like he can help Sloane and becomes silent. "Eris reached out and placed a hand on his arm. He was tensed to trembling, but her touch was light. Quiet. Comforting." And you know what Drifter does? He puts his hand over Eris' hand.

Already these two things are telling about their relationship right now and where it is headed. But we get a bit more. Drifter asks Eris, "Hey, you find that joy yet?" Referring to how Eris during Witch Queen believes she can find joy again in her life after so long of dealing with anguish after losing her ghost/everything that happened in the Hell Mouth. Eris answers with "Soon. Joy is built...but I have taken the first step." This could easily be related to their relationship. They haven't gone anywhere with it but they are taking slow steps to make it something more than friendship.

Then Eris gets ready to leave and she says, "Consider my counsel, Germaine." Drifter does put up a bit of a fight that that isn't his name anymore, but he eventually allows Eris to call him that. Gone are the days of calling him Rat (though I suppose if he's an idiot, he might still get called that from time to time).

Anyway, yeah, it looks more and more like Eris and Drifter are gonna end up in a relationship. Idk how it'll go for them. Heck, even if they end up a thing, idk how official they'd make it. So we'll see. But it's really cute seeing Eris be this open to someone.

Osiris floating while sitting down is amazing lol. Hmm, new warlock idea unlocked

also i just wanna have these guys on here permanently ehehehee

This is so true! Saint always shows his love through all the pet names he has for Osiris, while Osiris dances around his love. It's there--Saint knows it--but Osiris always has multiple walls up, even to those closest to him. But in that moment, when he calls Saint his love, Osiris feels like he needs to be direct. There is an urgency. This time Osiris was almost killed, was almost drowned out by the Witch Queen and unable to get out of this coma. This time he wants Saint to know Osiris loves him.

so like i was talking about it earlier and i can't sleep so im going to inflict my Thoughts abt osiris being Specific abt language and stuff on yall as well saint pretty much always uses possessives right "my fiery bird" "my friend" "my phoenix" "my Brother" "his beloved osiris" right like and i think a lot about "yours, in time" and things that are "too unspoken"

("go find your lost phoenix") and "tell saint i- nevermind, i'll tell him myself" (like he's correcting himself, or like it's hard to say, or it's something he needs to do Properly) saint's never had trouble telling the whole world what he thinks and feels (apart from when he's stressed, then he just shoulders it because That's What He Does but i digress) osiris writes obscure poetry and doesn't say the words, necessarily ("he touches my cheek. his eyes say things that words cannot") and like he doesn't Need to really, saint Knows this, but- ("why all the fuss?" "i owe him") anyway. my point is. my Point. is. the First Thing He Says ("I reach for aid - my hand is held - saint?") is "Saint, my love."
