I've done a quick search and come up empty, so I apologize if this has been posted before. So in the past, there's been some rhetoric about the bonds/friendship that Cayde-6 and Banshee-44 have, but this most recent quest has got me wondering: Did Cayde see Banshee like a senile grandfather-type figure? [spoiler] When going through the beginning of the mission, you end up in Banshee-44's workshop, where there is pots and pans and chopstick packs all over the place. [/spoiler] I could be reading too much into that, but paired with Banshee always bringing up Cayde when you are talking to him, and most of the time getting your Cayde quests from Banshee specifically, it leads me to wonder if Cayde might have ended up having a soft spot for Banshee, much more than anyone might have known. Here's my theory: Cayde has proved time and time again that no matter how likable he was, he really is a shifty guy. That's not a bad thing, he used that to get out of jams in the past and be the hero when needed, but he also did do some not-so-great things (at least that's what they allude to in the lore). My thoughts are that Cayde used to take advantage of Banshee's kindness, swindling free work for weapon building and mods and using Banshee's forgetfulness to get what he wanted. I think that Cayde, over time, started to feel bad about his actions (he does have a conscience after all) about what he was doing to Banshee, and eventually started hanging out with him during his off-time. I think he even starting to see Banshee as a senile grandfather-type figure, watching out for him to make sure no one else took advantage of him. This is why I think Banshee always talks about Cayde, always has info about Cayde's stashes, and why [spoiler] Banshee's work room looks like Cayde might have spent a decent amount of time up there hanging out with Banshee while he worked. Hell, even the view from the window and the exit point of the workroom screams that it was somewhere Cayde would perch or secretly enter/exit. [/spoiler] This theory is also why it kind of breaks my heart every time I go visit Banshee, because he keeps forgetting that Cayde is dead (like a senile grandparent forgets about relatives who have passed away). Thinking that Cayde was looking out for Banshee like that behind the scenes, who's going to look out for him now?
