Orion's spent a majority of his life being dismissed as just another pawn, second to the old men who sit on old accomplishments while his people suffer and die in the streets. Sure he has a soulmate out there somewhere but once the revolution picks up he doesn't think he'll live long enough to meet them. His first priority has always been his people regardless, and if dying helps them that's just what he'll have to do. Erin's spent his whole life alone fighting for his own survival. When he gets the chance to actually fight for something he wants beyond his own survival, a Lama where someone else won't ever have to grow up how he did, he takes the chance. He just doesn't ever actually expect to meet his soulmate in the process.
