Jeez. Why do character relationships take so long for me to do? 

I finally wrote one proper, for Father Rodion. I edited it in, but I'll put it here too anyways. 

Naturally, feel free to voice any objections or adjustments, Drakey.

[b]Father Rodion Kuznetsov:[/b] Father Ilya Bjornlie has almost nothing but respect for the man. Respect, and a tiny bit of pity for his social life and his doomed talents in the military. As Ilya sees it, imposing the life of an inquisitor on Father Rodion suppresses his ability to grow and create truly great things, especially with the sheer amount of time being dedicated to training and such. That said, the work Ilya has witnessed in his visits to the foundry have been eye opening.

Though massive mechanical wonders are somewhat commonplace in the military industrial complex, Father Rodion's work on intricate marvels showed Father Ilya the sheer potential of the sciences. He is barely able to fathom how the Madrys functions or even exists, despite all of his schooling. However, what kept Ilya's eye was the second unique weapon the reclusive savant had developed: the Sniper Rifle. Though it quickly became apparent to Ilya that Father Rodion had no interest in making a second copy, he kept returning for a night every few weeks. Ilya would help with the manual work, such as lifting, measuring, poring. While doing so, he would ask occasional questions about how things worked, or ask for bits of advise with the ongoing customization of his own kinetic rifle, in contrast to the etheric wonder that the Sniper Rifle is. Indeed, without these exchanges, Father Ilya quietly doubts he would have perfected the "Father Ilya's Piercing Paling" and the various modifications which allow it to be used without damaging the barrel of his gun. Not in time to justify its use to his instructors, at least.
