It has occurred to me actually. But that's telling. Most villains couldn't be bothered with coaching and teaching their fellow villains. Especially when they're adults that they don't need to corrupt to their way of thinking. Salem spending more time with Cinder would make sense if she's doing strictly because Cinder is a weapon to her and she wants it in top shape for the battle to come. But if she sees ol' Cindy as a tool why did she bother defending her against Watts' trolling or reassign Tyri' to hunt down Ruby. The coaching. The tsundere peptalk during her training. The helping her with the healing. Trust she gave her to drop Beacon on her own. The fact that Cinder is allowed to hire and bring in new members like Em, Adam and Merc. Without question as far as Ive seen. We never saw once that Salem ever told Cinder no. Seems she get free reign as long as she succeeds.
