Savan: Difference between revisions

| style="background:#ffffff;" align="left" | While Savan’s intense schedule at the Academy left little time, Savan did develop a particularly close relationship with a cadet from Magna Roma, Gnaeus Aelius Galeo, who was in training to become a marine. Several cadets and professors thought the two were together romatically attached, but both insisted their relationship was a more fraternal one. While they were rarely seen together at social events, they were usually seen sparring in the gymnasium or training. Galeo also taught Savan basics of Magna Roman training. For a long time, Savan did not know how to define their relationship, which was closer and more important than a regular friendship, even a strong one like he has with John Torres. When Savan explained the situation to his adopted father Torin, Torin suggested the Vulcan term ''th’y’la'', which was probably not taught to Savan since his Vulcan education stopped so early. Torin did make note of the word’s ambiguity, as th’y’la can mean "friend," “brother," or “lover.” Eventually, Savan told Galeo how he appreciated their friendship and explained the word th'y'la to him. To Savan's surprise, the Magna Roman smiled and offered that there was actually similar word, ''erostoïs'', that developed in one of his planet’s prominent ancient cultures—one very similar to Ancient Greece on Terra. It is still used today, added Galeo. Since then, in private, Savan refers to Galeo as his th'y'la, while Galeo calls him his erostoïs. Savan keeps remains in touch with Galeo and keeps his picture next to his family mementos. Galeo will finish his marine training and graduate from the Academy over the next year.

During Savan’s final year, he was assigned as the leader of her first-year training group. The two felt an immediate attraction. Eventually, Vresan told Savan that he had the likeness of a great Romulan war hero whom she had always dreamt of meeting. Given the intensity of the attraction, the two almost briefly considered. But both have a strong sense of duty and discipline and decided against it. Before Savan left the Academy, Vresan told him in private, "One day, in the near future, we will no longer need to be concerned about regulations." She then reached her index and middle finger held together and touched his. Savan smiled.
