Chart You Two for Real →What pulls you together
ChemistrySovereign and general: the Emperor points, the General charges. In action, this is the most efficient pairing on the whole board — orders given, ground taken.
Where it grinds
FrictionOff the battlefield, neither does softness. Home goes quiet as a command post — and no one is in charge of warmth.
How to make it work
The WaySchedule uselessness on purpose — cook together, walk, raise something living. Warmth won't appear on its own; put it in the battle plan.
