Sorry for delays on this from my front - some comp trouble I'm dealing with. As this shows, though, I can still pop in.<br/><br/>Dale can definitely be slotted in for "... does not understand life in the wild, so I will teach them." And maybe she has stolen something from Briar, and the ranger has noticed its absence but not where it went?<br/><br/>And I'm perfectly okay with Olivia trying to nudge Briar into considering her faith. Maybe the interest is from a past encounter? "I have guided Olivia before and they owe me for it." and she just has a strange idea about 'repaying' the favour...<br/><br/>Yula sounds like a fit for "... has no respect for nature, so I have no respect for them." if she is all about spreading her name? It's also a perfect tie-in to "... obviously doesn't trust me, and this needs to change." on her part.<br/><br/>Cinder is a difficult one, perhaps. The remaining standard bond is "... is a friend to nature, and so I will be their friend as well." And while a Forest Fire has its place in nature, burning down old wood and paving the way for new, I'm not sure how much it fits her.<br/>Or we could go into one of the alternate bonds, and tie "... and I took down a great beast once, and paid for it dearly." and your "I cast something into the fire for ___ once, and still owe them their due." That due could be a debt, after all. Or maybe something of Briar's was given to the flame for the victory?<br/>
