1. Avan's parents died when he was really young
2. this is a portrait of Avan's dad:

2. this is a portrait of Avan's dad:
I haven't been thinking about this constantly since I saw it or anything
COB Avan's going to get such a smack in the face if he ever gets a chance to see Popp's memories of him 
/gnaws on plurk I require enrichment in my enclosure
I always want to smack him in the face of course
You wanna see someone who looks exactly like your dad with bangs die sensei
Even a nice me entry would get him pretty good tho
a nice memory would probably hit him worse, tbh, since, like, fighting Hadlar is obviously something his dad couldn't do
Looks at Popp's parents' life skills and location. Looks at Avan's hobbies (cooking, travel). I bet he taught Popp how to fish
one of Hyunkel's flashback montages includes him fishing with Avan, it's a really funny little shot but I can't find a screenshot of it easily
Validation (shame Avan's not as good at fishing children out of the water-)
His grumpy little faaaace
adding this to the list of reasons he'll kill Avan someday
