Basically, what I’m looking for is Fourchenault barking up completely the wrong tree and cutting the twins off from a potential mentor/ally/friend, while also denying Thancred any semblance of healthy family ties for his entire adolescence. Up to you whether you want to keep it in the pre-canon era, or explore the fallout during or after Endwalker, when it becomes clear that despite Fourchenault’s best efforts, the twins did in fact make friends with the retching sound Lominsan lowlife. Also up to you whether Fourchenault and Thancred ever reconcile to any degree, or if Fourchenault is still cold and mistrustful even after Thancred literally sacrifices his own life to protect the twins (and the rest of the gang) in Ultima Thule. Also also up to you what Ameliance or Louisoix think about this situation, or if they even know that it’s going on.
