The Characterization In The Last Episode That I'm Still The Most Excited About A Day Later, Is Regular

The characterization in the last episode that I'm still the most excited about a day later, is Regular Guy Orym using all of the espionage and fieldcraft knowledge at his disposal to keep himself and Laudna safe and support the mission. Liam can be a powerhouse but he's so understated 90% of the time. He emotes lightly, says what he means in a few words, and as Orym he prioritizes asking everyone else questions over volunteering info himself. He's not secretive, just subtle.

Orym's been out on his own for several years after the attack, moving on deep and principled impulse along a storyline that, to him, must feel like it's flowing in the opposite direction of anything he can remember wanting. This little dude is an exercise in love as endurance and he sleeps draped over his friends and checks in on them in quiet moments, but he's ALSO a capital-E Elite soldier who earned a place alongside magical powerhouses with nothing but 3 ft of pure, concentrated whoop-ass. Orym wakes up at 5am every day and rolls over for pushups. He gets in front of you when he's rocking 3hp. He worked at the peak of his discipline for years and has travelled the world and he's still in his physical prime.

Orym texts you good luck right before your big exam even though you only mentioned what class period it was in once. I really like to see that guy take charge when the world comes after his non-negotiables. Unmovable object, making flower crowns, standing between one of strongest CR characters of all time and whatever threatens her... yeah, we're here for it, Liam. Can't wait to have my skull split open by 6 words of dialogue 100 episodes from now. When the Hells go to the moon, my vote for mission commander is cast.
