Yeah, those are pretty good ironclads to follow by.<br/><br/>I expect the sniping will continue on and off for a bit, until they get to know each other...Wren's got a essentially teamwork-oriented mindset, like you said. Aldros has spent his entire life learning to be self-sufficient, because he can't trust anyone to know what he is and can trust anyone who does even less. And that's when alien personalities are safely locked away in the corner of his brain instead of up-front and influencing them.<br/><br/>I like playing subtle shifts in binders' personalities based on what vestiges they have active, even without the overt compulsions of a bad pact. Balam is perpetually bitter and spiteful after what happened to it, and while divine casters/servants get the major emnity, it doesn't really trust anyone to follow through on promises of support...and it's also one of the vestiges he binds most frequently, so there's a lot of residual paranoia backing up his natural caution.
