please, if you don’t mind: neuvia headcanons after the archon/story quests? do you think he would visit her through the restoration of poisson as a badly hidden excuse to just see her instead of sending a formal letter?

i'm a bit wary to share neuvia thoughts/hcs anymore but i can cook up a few for u just bc i appreciate the care for them

-i think that he would visit her in poisson to see her, but i think his primary reason would still be to actively aid the restoration out of responsibility and respect for their shared leadership. the core of their relationship improving the way it did was his realization that he cannot truly meet people's needs from a seat of authority that is so high above them, and she's both an example to him and a medium through which he's able to understand the population he serves, so i think he'd put that first. when the restoration is almost complete and he still continues to visit, well that might just be because she has a beautiful booming smile and bouncy curls and kissable cheeks.

-neuvillette's biggest hurdle in most of his relationships is reconciling his want for closeness with his belief that he can only fulfill his duty effectively by being completely impartial, not counting his attachment to the melusines. he speaks of his feeling distant from navia with sadness/regret and longs to be closer to her without realizing what that means (because by his standard, being distant from her would technically be a good thing). as he observes her more and sees the effectiveness of her leadership that is grounded in human emotions and love, he'll hopefully make the connection that his partiality and affection for her don't cloud his judgement. they just brighten the image that he has of her and provide clarity for what kind of place they both want the world to be.
