Relationships

 * Auggie: Auggie and Ashli had a very abrasive relationship from the beginning. Auggie didn't trust her, and when combined with his anger and pain, he put all of his focus and energy into exposing her.  This wasn't helped by the difficulty Ashli had with some of her tasks in Alkwin.  The constant bickering between them evolved into passion during a tense argument when Auggie kissed her.  The two continued with their fighting until Ashli left Alkwin in search of a safe place to hide from her troubles.  When Auggie followed her, he made the decision to ultimately move past the need to vent his anger on her.  As of the anniversary of the war in Nysha, the couple were engaged.
 * Tytus: From childhood, it was expected that Ashli and Tytus would marry. Tytus came from one of the families that sat high in the hierarchy in Nysha.  Tytus saw Ashli as a tool to be used to gain power.  Ashli viewed Tytus as a tool.  It was the declaration by her parents that their engagement would be announced that pushed Ashli into fleeing Nysha and joining Alkwin.  Tytus followed her in an attempt to force her into filling the role she had been born into.
