Ina is also getting her offscreen Rocky montage before she can join the party for real. Writing her bantering with the MC is like cocaine for me, I'll never give it up.
But yeah, she has some experience with politics stuff, not so much fighting for her life while her people die around her. So that was a rude wake up call for her!
Kuril and Kandros are the two sharkbros.
Ina and Ashley... you know, I actually hadn't thought about them together at all, but it might be worth experimenting with. They might get along well! Whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.
