[QUOTE="CMGuest, post: 402587"] I'm...I wanted to say on the neutral path, but a quick check on the wiki suggests that might not be a thing any more. My champ's always been on-guard against her because of the whole "I wanna eat your soul" thing, but also recognizes her as [I]well[/I] above his weight class so hasn't been directly aggressive against her. I got the "Witness her" event, so I suppose that I'm on the Rivalry path. [spoiler="Romance path Tangent"]And frankly while from a I'm a big fan of redemption arcs, I just can't wrap my head around the idea of treating her as anything but the equivalent of a hungry tiger at this juncture. It boggles me that there's a route in which - with no particular impetus for the decisoon - the champ is expected not to presume that she's a monster that wants to eat his face. Yes, from a Doyalist perspective I get why the route exists, but considering her impact on the world both directly (the Frost Elves, the centaurs, all the imps and demons...) and by proxy (through the cults), never mind the fact that she keeps reminding the champ that her main interest is eating his soul after it ripens...and of course the whole evident "I wanna take over the world and remake it in my image" thing, I simply don't feel that there's a good Watsonian reason for the guy to be friendly with her or treat her advances as anything other than the same kind of ploy she used to seduce Alissa and Taldahs.[/spoiler] The short version is that Kas more or less sticks to the shadows. She doesn't directly interact with you and only interacts with Aileh off-screen. Ironically enough, for what I say in the spoiler, Aileh provides some of the most humanizing characterization (on this route at least) that we've seen to date. Quick snippet from when Aileh first gives you the news: After this it's mostly kinda an open secret that Kas and Aileh are in at least semi-regular contact when you aren't around, and that while you and Kas aren't exactly on the best terms you accept that she's an important part of Aileh's life and apparently a supportive and somewhere between a decent and good mother (and soon to be grandmother), and that it's important for her that Kas be a part of her granddaughter's life. So they mostly visit while you're not around and you do your best to be ok with that. This does gets disrupted in a rather cute manner towards the end of the pregnancy, when you actually stumble in while Kas is visiting, leading her to briefly hide behind her daughter to compose herself and - in her own words - "get into character" as the unflappably confident protective mother who was only there to make sure that you were treating Aileh well...with heavy overtones of 'pay no attention to the cleaning supplies she's carting off in her dramatic exit, or the tidied up room, or the new baby blanket, or the knitted baby sweater...' Both are wary around each other, but again, not directly aggressive, much to Aileh's gratitude. But as far as I'm seen so far, that's Kas's only direct interaction with the player for this content.
