Agree Agree. I was thinking also that Thais and Beth probably bumped into each other a few times during the clean-up of the library back in the day, but they probably didn't really make friends or anything since they do have an age difference.
They probably know each other's faces but don't really /know/ each other. I can see Thais just kind of glancing over bookworm sort of characters as uninteresting.
Yeah... They'll probably clash, but in polite ways of course (at least in the beginning depending on where the game leads them). Thais probably will consider Beth a naive on the political front as she thinks most aequitarians are naive about realities.
