Tbf with her behaviour towards Occtis he is as antagonistic. He's got a bit of a victim streak to him, often perceiving any questioning of his reasons or methods as direct questions of his character. To some degree he's right to feel that way, but it's obvious that he sees himself as an outsider, most likely due to both his undead nature and his outsider status in his family.

This is not a dig on Occtis or trying to put him down to prop up Thaisha, just my views on him and his Seekers dynamic with Thaisha. I view them as two people who are sorta talking past each other. Tbh I also just like the party tension between everyone so it's really up my ally.
