also there is definitely overlap, but i don't count varka! i specifically am thinking of someone who'd go out of their way to deny lohen personally so he doesn't get what he wants, but say yes to others... in front of his face. it would be obviously intentional and he'd go nuts
i love lohen but it's hard finding a pairing for him i can dig into? having romantic feelings is vulnerable. he wouldn't enjoy it. i COULD play with him having feelings and hating it - but to have them you'd need to be drawn to someone? but he's only drawn to gaining power? HMM
