Estinien doesn't bathe.
He bathes in blood, not soapy water.

I genuinely hope Lahabrea doesn't come back. It would add more weight to the concept of us potentially causing the outright extinction of a race if we doom Elidibus down the road. They'll have a hard time keeping him at least somewhat relatable after Emet, but they'd have an even harder time justifying the return of a forgettable moustache twirler, no matter how many name-drops and background builds are done. If they do it anyway, here's hoping they can pull it off with good writing.

At the same time (and I may be a 50/50 or a minority), but I genuinely do like Zenos and Gaius. Gaius is not full-on goody-goody yet, he just has relatively good intentions from the Scion PoV (which can change on a dime once the Empire is reduced to rubble thanks to Zenos). As for Zenos, I'd be more afraid of him using Black Rose than Varis. I know he branded it a cowardly weapon, but he has one singular goal and would be the type of person to use it anyway if it got what he wanted (and he'd have absolutely NO care or consideration at all when it comes to using it. Tis' all for his hunt/pleasure).
