Oh hey, they (finally) meet properly! Do you think they’ll become best friends?

“OK, done with this drink, gotta split.”
“No, me”
So she’s Trade, for a moment I thought she was Queen. We have not met King/Queen yet, have we?
Not sure what you mean – can you elaborate?
The biblical four horsemen are:
1. Crowned guy with a bow, white horse, “and he came to rule”, this one I call “King” (“Queen” if a woman logically) for short (“Power” better?)
2. Guy with a sword, black horse, “to make war”, this one is obviously “War” and in the story it is Robert (or his APOC)
3. Guy with scales (weighting device), red horse, blah-blah about the price of grain, oil and wine, this one is “Trade” in my slang and I’m speculating that corresponds to Annabelle (maybe totally wrong).
4. Skeletal guy, pale or greenish horse (original: “chloros”, as in “chlorine”), “and after him came the Hades”, “Death” or “Plague” and in the story Clara (or her APOC).
Sorry if I’m getting everything (or half of it confused), I’m expecting the other two “riders” to appear soonish as the story develops. You left clear some pages ago that that all four “horsemen” APOC were created, so they must be around somewhere.
When she says “I deal in value”… well maybe she’s Trade, as in the red horse rider.
Gotcha! I won’t spoil anything, so I’ll keep mute on this for the most part until the story unfolds. But for reference, the War Horseman is red, while the Pestilence Horseman is black, just as a heads up for future stuff.
Don’t spoil, please. It was just a wild comment off the to of my non-existent hat, the only question I made was about having met the other two “horsemen”, for which I believe the answer is “nope” (unless, as I think, Anabelle is Trade).
You may use the color coding as you say, it’s your story and your creativity and matches many intuitions we usually have, but in the Bible War rides a black horse, Death rides a pale/greenish horse and it is Trade who rides the red horse. Different cultural references, I guess.
