Honor (aka Tazendra)

What Happened
( This memory is set when Tazendra is around a century old and working for the Phoenix Guard.  )

Commentary
This memory will take the sting out of one of Tazendra's neg-sigs, the one where her parents die without telling her 'we gotta go out and protect the Duke of Arylle's son, instead of going to charge at that army, so be a good girl, mind your nurse and clear our names when you're older'.

This memory also has some second-hand awesome: I'm a soldier in His Majesty's Guard! We stopped an assassination attempt! Aerich regained his title by killing someone who needed killing!

Truthfully, at this point Tazendra should be able to realize that Aerich's little story was about her and him -- she remembers her own house, his house, and that they had two friends who were very close. Tazendra isn't always that prone to introspection.

Owing fealty to Aerich could be a problem, but I anticipate it's one that the two of them can sort out. But it adds even more into the 'Apus = protect', since now only is Aerich her friend, but she owes him her service.
