[@ArenaSnow]Kaesus looks like he would get along with Irina. She's older than she looks, Runic and Planar magics are both very "Nerdy" relative to other schools, and the two of them share a good deal of personality/ideology similarities. I know that Irina, at least, would be very interested in Runes.

They should become nerd friends and share their research. Then, they can become insane together, squish.
