It could work, especially since Ochre was originally meant to be a Queon as well XD While he isn't anymore, he still has many of his Queon-ish aspects, and would probably enjoy designing and smithing Tessa's armor. Because he has more of a Support role than anything (though he is capable of pulling off Tank-like aspects while wearing heavy duty gear), defeating monsters while keeping them relatively intact on his own is very difficult. Having an assistant in that instance would be highly beneficial. Coupling that, since he has next to zero talent in enchantment, and with Tessa known for her low prices, I could also see a business venture in enchanting the higher-end products he creates with general enhancements, such as increased durability and other minor upgrades.
