Abbie IS a pirate, and a ruthless one at that. It's not smart to try to weasel your way out of a deal with them.

Xal is an excellent mage and psionic, but if you take away his magic, he literally cannot do anything on the battlefield. I even doubt that his innate nimbleness will help him.
And he hates diplomacy.

Love? Xal never sought love and actually believes that it is possible to have close relationships with people without labelling them as ‘love.’ In fact, relationships without romantic boundaries seem much more intimate and ‘right’ to him.

What if mind flayers had baby squidlings instead of tadpoles, and what if they peeked out of a cracked skull the way these squirrels peek out of a nest.

Xal can show his vulnerability to anyone if it benefits him, but it is always a controlled vulnerability. He himself chooses the vulnerabilities that are most appropriate for the current situation in order to show them. It's a game, a dangerous manipulation for both him and his target.

Solo. He doesn't need all these losers.
In extreme cases, he could take someone as cannon fodder, but in most cases he needed no one but himself and the Emperor.
Xal is a lone wolf.
However, in the future, his permanent party will consist of himself and Ayumu.

Xal doesn't care.
He doesn't care what anyone says about him; he wants acts and thoughts, not words. He never trusted words and never will, because words are empty.

No. I have seen the Emperor several times in my dreams, but Xal avoids me at all costs. Or maybe I just don't remember.
In any case, it's a shame. I would like to see his beautiful eyes, even if only in my dreams.

Xal never knew how to flirt and never tried to do so.
He treated the Emperor gently, as gently as he was capable of being. With interest. He never considered the Emperor to be his lover, and yet the presence of the Emperor's mind in his own mind comforted him.

I found the most perfect Ayumu tea 🖤
Ayahuasca tea. A shamanic, psychoactive tea that can cause vivid hallucinations, panic, euphoria and/or nausea.
Has been described to taste, I quote "bitter and fetid, like forest rot and bile, like dirty socks and raw sewage, like a toad in a blender."

Ayumu is a Durge, so she was just in her pod in the colony. Barely lucid, bloodied, banging her forehead against the glass from the inside. Like a rabid, caged creature.
At one point, after what felt like ages, the pod's lid broke. She stumbled out, wandered aimlessly, but didn't get far.

Just a few hours ago, I wanted to write something else for this, but now I've just written the perfect answer elsewhere.
This snippet of madness sums up Ayumu's amalgamation of bizarre nightmares quite well. CW: cosmic horror? 😅

Moss's favorite treat is simply a shared walk in the woods. They & the Emperor are both workaholics and don't get out much, so it's a rare gift when they're able to convince their partner to get away from the paperwork long enough to meditate & enjoy some peaceful nature together. <:')

1. His biological ‘mother’ is an Illithid, but in the body of a Drow. An anomaly that was able to conceive and give birth in a humanoid way. However, it rejected Xal immediately after his birth.
