And cue the trust issues. Kynel is comically terrible at communicating like an actual human, even considering his trauma. If he found out that Tia realized his trusted butler had been secretly drugging him, but decided to keep it a secret so “his feelings wouldn’t be hurt or his trust be betrayed” how do you think he would react? Not well. He infantilizes and tries to bubble wrap her instead of treating her like a true partner to go through the trials of life with. She put in so much effort to improve understanding and communication between them, only to be disrespected in return. Of course she’s upset and withdrawn. She literally has no one else to turn to. Even if she didn’t have pregnancy hormones, she would still be acting reasonably considering the whole situation. Kynel just loves pouring gas on the fire, and when he’s not doing that, he just watches it burn while choosing not to douse it with water
