only thing better than having new guys to rotate in your brain is throwing them at all of your other guys like enrichment in the tiger enclosure. I think that everyone thought Markus Severinus and the Oracle of Caeres were besties, but they were merely tolerating each other. Markus respects a fellow king who has some kind of gender that's too powerful for the archive to excommunicate. But he never believed in a deterministic universe and he's not about to start. Did the oracle know what was coming for markle? did he try to warn him ? did their relationship suffer because mark perceived his warnings as manipulative and dangerous . don't worry about it.
Reyes generally likes Frey and believes her beliefs, but she Does think that she has dogshit taste in women, which she doesn't respect.
