Ethereal and Water Caste 2
Comments (16)
I'm confused what they're talking about when they say "pulling mouth"? No one ever said that, did they? What are they referring to?
Smiling (which the Ethereal did in second page), since it is unnatural expression for Tau.
If this was Imperium he would be already dead, exiled or turned into servitor. He better be grateful for having so nice lady as his boss.
He isn't like this with other Ethereals. It’s just that this Ethereal is forgiving of his jesting, because she knows she holds the higher ground and trusts his loyalty. And he, in turn enjoys making the most of that when in private :) If she was strict, he would've acted differently
Oh I'm starting to like her.
Oh my Tau'va, how to make the perfect ethereal even better.
First post of 2026 I love how the cunning and the cunning interact with each other
Oooh, I do like this. It’s a very interesting development
While I love her smiling, I gotta say, I started dying because it made me think of "no bitches?"
Oh, very interesting! Younger generations of Ethereals would have been born when some humans had already been into the Empire, hence the cultural assimilation of smiles as a social construct for the T'au. As the Ethereals are above the other castes, I suppose they would have more freedom on how to instruct themselves in the way of T'au'va
Yes, in this young Ethereal's case though she is mimicking the Water caste's expression (who is mimicking Gue'la expression). She hasn't encountered Gue'la much herself.
개추!
That expression was made for her
No Gue'la expression for the esteemed Ethereals!! 😡
Self loathing grandpa??
If you're talking about 'smiling is unbecoming', I won't say loathing. He just has accepted that some degree of Gue’la influence on the Tau is inevitable, but he wishes the Ethereals to remain clean. Seeing an Ethereal smile is disturbing to him... After all Ethereals are the soul of the Empire.
