Illarion would seek Kieren out from a sort of vague "he's definitely on my side" instinct wrt one of his Fellow Undead -- probably early on, when the unrest starts-- but def later as it gets bad too. Gotta check in on his fellow....soldier??? (Even if he's already clocked Kieren as a civilian.)
Bird is here to PROTECC, though also ATTACC, and turn rogue FTs into SNACC-- though Kieren probably does not need such a shock happening around him after June ahaha.
But a coupla other options!! Discovering the same animal corpse might be interesting (Illarion has Feelings about those) or something during the night of the attack -- seeing someone "like him" not go totally aggro in a hostile situation would be good(?) for bird, esp if Kieren would be inclined to talk to the wavering FTs vs kill.
Alternately, before all that -- would SO be here for talking about dead not!boyfriend, pour into his ears the Complexities the Rising caused in your world.
