#seiros the warrior barged in his hamlet and told him everything about Zanado but also

You can take that to mean he’s so comfortable in his safe space that Indech is able to handle being around others. Now if he was OUT of the lake, which even has fog to hide him, would he act the same? Which is why I side with Seteth on this that he probably does panic and freak out when not in a place he considers safe. Especially as the place is kept secret enough and even Lindhardt tries not to have what he really is be unveiled.

Mmh,

I'd say there is a difference between being able to "handle" being around others and what is going on with this "trial" of his !

Linhardt says this :

"There's a legend I read recently about Saint Indech, one of the Four Saints of the Church of Seiros."

He apparently read about the "you can get Indech's bow if you go to lake teutates!" legend, but it was not a well kept one, since Indech himself states that he knows why the gang is here :

"I know well what it is that you desire. If you want it, you must first complete my trial."

And it's not the first time people tried to come to get his bow, since he goes :

"The best I can do nowadays is to have fun meddling with humans who wander in here."

aka he has fun "meddling with humans" who came here, so it was definitely not a once in his long lifetime experience

Now, I suppose if he didn't want humans to come and bother him in his pond, he could have asked Rhea to do something and call Lake Teutates off limits, but the fact this "legend" exists and Indech is having fun with human he is expecting to meet, suggests, imo, that he is merely handling them, but he is waiting/expecting them, even if I already made a joke about him inviting them over with this nonsense about a "trial".

As for outside of his pond...

Nopes Indech was said to have had his workshop in a small village (a hamlet) and since Zanado is the only Nabatean village, I supposed he was there with humans?

All things considered, I'd say his behaviour during the paralogue in FE16 + Nopes saying he lived in a small village suggests he doesn't/didn't have the same social anxiety Bernie has, or maybe Seteth, the sort of "strict but kind older brother" only sees him as the timid person maybe young!Indech used to be?

IDK, both Indech and Macuil have less lines and mentions than Lambert in both games, so we can only extrapolate and ultimately headcanon about them!

tfw Waldemar'n'Leopold have more screentime in Nopes than Macuil'n'Indech who has tiny sprites in Nopes but weren't ultimately used..
