Riot Lore: Kindred and Soraka

I missed the Kindred Q&A and I don't think anybody asked what the relationship is between these 2 according to their lore.

So... how do Kindred and Soraka feel about each other? Soraka is the definitive healer and is according to lore, travelling around healing the sick and injured, just generally being a force of anti-suffering.

How does this put her in the perspective of Kindred? What happens if Soraka comes across someone who is going to die, but intervenes and saves their life? The person would be "marked" so to speak, and Soraka would "undo" their mark by removing their possibility of dying when she heals them. If this is the case, she is "stealing" from Kindred by denying someone a death through healing intervention. This would likely anger Kindred (as indicated in-game when you steal a jungle camp that is marked) so... have Soraka and Kindred ever had a disagreement so to speak? Lore wise, Kindred CAN interact with those that are not going to die, so how would an interaction between the two play out?

I'm not sure if Soraka would even be hostile towards Kindred given she's a more peaceful healer and probably accepts death as a natural part of life and intervenes when death has come "too soon" as a result of violence (or maybe illness if the person is suffering). However, I might not say the same for Kindred, especially Wolf... far likely Wolf being denied a hunt might mean he instead will want to hunt a Starchild ;)

Riot pls? :)

They don't care about her and she respects them.

Every healer knows death is sometimes the only option, Soraka knows this and respects their work.

MY REAL QUESTION IS; Kindred and Bard.

How do they react to one another?

If Soraka heals them then it really wasn't their time to die, therefore Kindred really shouldn't care.

They probably wont care all that much. All Soraka's doing is healing the person. Does Kindred get angry at Doctors every time they help an individual recover from a life threatening situation? Probably not. It's less denying the Hunt and more extending it. From what I can gather, Kindred is fine with long Hunts as long as they're interesting. They get annoyed though when a kill is undone (Time Travel/Resurrection) and/or unable to ever be completed (Shadow Isles/Mordekaiser).

I think a rioter responded to something like this. If I recall correctly, Kindred doesn't really mind too much because she's merely extending their life rather than granting them immortality.

I think Kindred would have more of an issue with the undead as they're are a direct abomination to the laws of nature and death. Soraka isn't outright trying to stave off death, I think even she realizes that all things have to die but she doesn't sit by and watch pointless suffering.
