What if when Rayla was little, Runaan would lift her up onto his shoulders, you know standard Dad thing to do.
But she would just. Hold onto his horns. Like it’s an elf thing to do for the kids to hold onto their dads’ horns for safety. Except Rayla does this to try and steer Runaan like he’s a damn horse.
Here I am, thinking Rayla was maybe 5, maybe 7 when he was adopted by Runaan but,,,
RUNAAN HAS BEEN RAISING RAYLA SINCE SHE WAS A B A B Y. TWO YEARS OLD. T W O. Unless she was just being trained by Runaan, but I’m assuming by that time she was in his care.
“But while Runaan has learned to put his mission above all else, he cares deeply for his people — especially the youngest of his assassins, Rayla, who in his heart is like a daughter to him.”
