Yesss, this is the good shit. Do you want to say they met before coming to Daybreak or build it up from scratch? Either would be good with me! Had an entertaining idea in passing but I don't know if it would work with your char or not: the idea that they had some correspondence on a technical level but actually meet in person for the first time at Daybreak (which would be a big oh no from Marian upon seeing these shenanigans, lmao).
