Primrose, Chapter 3

I don't even know how to process this Chapter. Simeon kept saying Primrose was his love, but just how old was she and he when they were younger? Was Simeon a pedophile? And yet Primrose seems to care deeply for him as well.

I get that the story wants to make me feel a closer attachment to the two, but as a player, I had already mentally established that Primrose had cut ties with her past and she wouldn't have someone like Simeon really out there that she would care about, so it somewhat confused me to watch it play out and hear the Travel Banter afterwards. The fact that we never see him again after his initial introduction, and we spend more of the Chapter with Revello, made me realize he wasn't a good guy though.

I'm not at all surprised at the Albus being the Right Crow. I am a bit interested in the concept that the Right Hand of Geoffrey was also the Right Hand of the Obsidians, so my best guess is that Albus was always a bad seed and it wasn't just a matter of being bought off.

This is another Chapter where some disbelief about having other party members must be suspended. When Simeon surprises Primrose, it's rather surprising that he catches her alone. It's already a bit problematic that Revello and Primrose didn't exit together, or that Revello didn't wait or go back sooner, but party members should have also been present. Then Primrose goes into recovery for 3 days... so... what was the rest of the party doing that time?

I always had a suspicion that there was going to be more to Geoffrey than we are given information of, and that House Azelhart might not have that clean of a history. I felt like the "Faith Will Be Your Shield" motto would be questioned by Primrose later, but it seems Geoffrey Azelhart was a paragon, and really this is just a vengeful wrathful daughter.
