Every story involves more then just an individual, especially this one. There would be no Zyk if it were just her in the wide spans of the Mists. No intrigue, no one to decieve, no one to abuse. It'd not be Zyk if she could do none of this, so here are a few individuals that have peeked her interest in just the right way.
Korvas has always been an interesting. Many would even claim him to be a Paladin by the books but the truth is he is just a good-aspiring Cleric to The Great Unknown... with an unhealthy hate for undead. What makes him much more interesting to Zyk was his talents as a meat-shield, let alone his vast knowledge in healing. Also, he does not really ask questions either. Zyk seemed to have made such a trusting ally to him that he simply accepts when she goes missing for a good few hours. The truth is that the feeling is mutual though. Perhaps Zyk even underestimate the intelligence Korvas has and this whole trust building relationship is all but a big mind game to get back at her some day! . . . Naaah - unlikely. But let alone Korvas' competence, she does get very agitated when people seem to smack talk against him. Zyk expects perfection of people, even if she does not let that on, but when others blame their faults on him she gets riled up to no bounds. Perhaps she does deem Korvas perfect in his role? He is -highly- competent at what he does, afterall.
Then there is Poppy, a sweet little hin girl. It was through her that Korvas' claim that Zyk was a hero even took fruit. Poppy's rather cute way with people seem to give her the 'Honest, innocent girl' impression. Then again you can't call it an impression if it is the truth. Poppy is little more then what she deems herself to be. Thought that is not to say she is useless in battle. Her wards have vast amounts of power and saved Zyk's life more then once.
On a matter between life and death, there was this interesting character in Zyk's life for a small while. Spooky, is what she went by - or more so was called by others. Zyk had suspicions, but suspicions alone that Spooky was... well - spooky? No, ghastly. You wouldn't want her as your foe. Little nutter that was, really, but did care for her friends (sort of). Zyk could have seen that sickle end up in her back at random one day, but when was the question. Who knows, maybe Spooky's dissapearance has something to do with that. It's yet to be seen.
Vernon of the wayfarers, or also known as 'kinship' (That term alone being almost funny for reasons best left unwritten), is a rather interesting individual in and of itself. Zyk considers him more a spare time amusement then anything she'd really spend too much time on. Probably better for her health too after what she gathered. Still waters are deep, as the saying goes.
Ahh, wonderful, wonderful Lucrezia. It is easy to say Zyk had managed to get a bit of a crush for that women, but that is not to be surprising. Intelligent, beautiful and powerful. The perfect package really with a very similar mindset on how to handle things. Also one of the few entities that manages to pluck at Zyk' submissive side which both makes Zyk disgusted and thrilled at the same time. Though a dangerous path to follow it has proven to be fruitful in the gains of knowledge and power, yet she knows one thing; Good things don't last. One thing she will just have to come to terms with, and already seems to be preparing for, is to cut that string in neigh future. Take what you can get, leave without a trace.
Emmanuelle Chevalier. Elegant name with little less elegance behind it. Crude with her vocabulary towards other individuals and even poorer treatment of those she does not deem worthy - which seem to be a few too many. Let alone the temporary, brutal death she had seemed to lighten up the individual. Keyword being 'seem' here. It came as no surprise to Zyk that there was more to Emmy then met the eye and she was even lucky enough to get an in on something, however disgusting it was. But in the end could you really consider it luck to be in the crosshairs of another individual for knowing too much? She just has to not urge the trigger, for now. Silence is an aspect she can keep to easily though... or not?
Lastly there is the sweetheart gentleman, Walter. If she could have a badass buttler, she'd choose him. The man holds such similar qualities to Lucrezia with the een better trait that his lifespan seems to exceed that of the others a lot more, even with his old age. Frnakly she is urged to take him in arms and smooch him in most lewd ways just because of who he was, but that'd really be counter productive for now. She does need her 'assets' freely in the game, for now, and her feelings for the older man is something he need not know of yet either for he knows way too much about her to begin with. Maybe she'll regret being so open with him one day, or perhaps it'll just strengthen their bond. Only the Stars know.
