Jagers sending Tarvek badly written letters! Jagers ‘escorting’ people to Sturmhalten making it a point to meet up with him! Jagers telling Tarvek that it’s a pity that he’s a Sturmhalten prince because they’d adopt him otherwise! Tarvek growing up with a network of adults that he KNOWS genuinely care for him! Tarvek realising much earlier on that wasps and mind control are bad!

Yes! Tarvek gets really good at reading dreadful handwriting. Some of the Jägers pay scribes. It’s cute. Aaronev and Anevka are convinced that at least some of these letters are in code.

Tarvek tries to discourage them from bringing people to Sturmhalten, because he can’t protect them from his father. He does sneak out to visit any Jägers who come through, though.

Awww.

YEP! And he genuinely cares about them, too. They all call him their son. He calls them ‘Uncle’ or ‘Aunt’ depending. (The nonbinary ones (I will fight you for nonbinary Jägers) get called Cousin.)

Tarvek… still takes a while to come to the conclusion that wasps and mind control are bad. He knows the Jägers hate them, but the Jägers also hate his blood family, and the Storm King, and everyone who keeps the Heterodynes in. So he kind of assumes that the hatred of wasps falls in the same category, the one of ‘we really are on different sides, much as we love each other.’

When what happens to Anevka happens, though, he calls for help from them, and the Baron descends upon them.

The Baron, talking to Tarvek: You told the Jägers, but not me.

Tarvek: Destroying your children is not against empire law, Herr Baron.
