8: Any secrets? his unabashed crush...is that still a secret? experts are still reviewing i imagine he's not talked about his nebulous beforetimes past...given his memories of it are kind of fucked i hc the witchy time travel shit happened to some extent but he's in no position to get those revelations himself
he just knows like. ya...i got dumped on my own by people i loved but like WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS!! like words exploding or getting extorted for money by magic ducks who turn me into a money bank for weird little fairies!!!
9. trusting cloud is...kinda complicated. like he can trust cloud to keep his word, but he also can't trust him to prioritize leon over other things u_u
he sees himself as pretty low on the ladder of priorities and simultaneously sees that as sensible but also super hates it bc hurt feelies (nobody is hurting his feelings but himself smh)
10. first impression: what, this jerk thinks he can just walk on in here and do what he wants??? edgelord haircut. attention-seeker. pshht. current impression: insanely strong and frustratingly clever and attractive and just frustrating in general hnng
the evolution of wanting to strangle a guy for being obstinate to wanting to solve all his problems for him so he can stop being plagued by the horrors leon cannot escape his curse of caring about his friends, how tragic
leon is definitely cursed with the urge to take care of him but knows by merit of having his own easily bruised pride that itd be very lame to just out and out say so
1. favorite felix thing.........hm......... i think lucina finds conviction very admirable and would find that a very attractive feature of his fuckshit personality, and i imagine if she were interviewed in week 1 that's what she'd sputter out
buuuuut i think at the stage we're at she'd say his honesty is the best quality esp since courtly life has a lot of pretense in propriety the routines - it can feel very stuffy to her since she doesn't feel fully formed to the mold but here's this guy who will just be him even when 'he' has to adapt to a mold inspires her to try to be more adaptable too
2. i think least favorite is how much he scowls she won't call him out on it bc she's fairly sure he's not even consciously doing it but damn it does make it hard to determine if he's pissed off at her for mystery reasons or it's just tuesday
8. keeping secrets?? iirc, they went over grima and the plegians, the time travel...though i forgor if she mentioned there's a different, very little lucina back in ylisse beyond that since she found that plegian iconography on their trip to the castle she's been having shit sleep (may not be that deep a secret if he's a light sleeper)
17. i think betrayal would only occur with the certainty that there were no other way to save his life. like she was amping herself up to take robin out for her dad's sake no matter what her support rank with them was bc she assumed there was no other way to save chrom ooh and maybe if the lands he ruled were endangered as well 🤔
basically the stakes would have to be life or death and also she'd have to be under duress to make that choice bc she's too impulsive to stop and think things through u_u dumb anime protag brain
9. i think she trusts him to an extent - not enough to let herself be openly vulnerable without getting some express permission or can see that doing so wouldn't be a burden bc damn she just got busted open in front of him like a ceramic vase and that's p raw
she's now aware she knew him, but isn't very sure how much that street may go both ways, and i think, were he to realize he remembers her in turn, that'd really make her trust him more
11. i think she does! familiarity helps a lot, makes her more naturally protective and attentive...and also he has very limited access to cigarettes so he's not unbearably stinky!!!
but she still doesn't know enough about him so it's like being more comfortable with someone she would see on a daily commute and exchange pleasantries with/endure hassles with
Rynet_iii
: 6. besides feeling themselves up (both in general and jorkin it)??? probably go enjoy a massage. wear comfy clothes. languish in tactile luxury while also ensuring NOBODY FUCKING TOUCHES HIM unless emery actually swapped bc that would be. interesting. to see what emery put up with
13. zel would counter his life IS a horror movie and he's the shitty frankenstein monster but thats bc he's acting like an edgy 14yo in reality he's the plans guy nobody listens too bc he's too overbearing and winds up striking out alone and missing most of the screentime bc everyone else is more intereesting to watch
he'll just show up in the third act n everyone will be like THE FUCK HAVE U BEEN?? him like "directing the cops here?????? tf have u idiots been doing"
15. piggybacking a bit off of 6 but like.........cozy IDEALLY he'd be cured u know!! and able to just fucking nest somewhere with emery in comfy lodgings, unbothered, unassailed by Problems and just being able to fool a round without fear of breaking him
1. favorite....physically it's his upper back bc manabu is weak to broad shoulders and strong backs....mentally it's when grey gets huffy-but-earnest cuz its cute and funny but also u gotta treasure sincerity when it's given, even in a scowl he's used to that
3. SURE DOES HAVE A FEAR...about grey deciding crime is the only way!!! and also about maybe being too eager to do a murder?? even with righteous overtones manabu not aware he can't fix him he can only make strong suggestions dog training does not work on cat
Becca
: 3. CECE FEARS PAL'S POWERS TURNING HIM INTO SOME NASTY LICH OR SOMETHING......like she's so sure u cannot stay chill and untainted if ur steeped in that much death and blood bc she doesnt know that morticians exsist
but also im not sure what like unconscious sensory traits his power gives him but if there are she'd be grossly upset with that and absolutely fixated on them
10. lmaoooooo first impression: ew, weird, annoying current impression: i trust u with my life but i desperately pray every day u do not do any more gross blood stuff or do john-adjacent things by simple merit of being from the same place
he's always been pretty self-sufficient even as a kid; he had no friends for a long time so he learned to get by without relying on anyone; then Some Shit Went Down and made his inability to open up to people ten times worse fhsjg
i imagine he's not talked about his nebulous beforetimes past...given his memories of it are kind of fucked
i hc the witchy time travel shit happened to some extent but he's in no position to get those revelations himself
(nobody is hurting his feelings but himself smh)
current impression: insanely strong and frustratingly clever and attractive and just frustrating in general hnng
leon cannot escape his curse of caring about his friends, how tragic
easy
esp since courtly life has a lot of pretense in propriety the routines - it can feel very stuffy to her since she doesn't feel fully formed to the mold
but here's this guy who will just be him even when 'he' has to adapt to a mold
inspires her to try to be more adaptable too
she won't call him out on it bc she's fairly sure he's not even consciously doing it but damn
it does make it hard to determine if he's pissed off at her for mystery reasons or it's just tuesday
cat vs dog energy
beyond that since she found that plegian iconography on their trip to the castle she's been having shit sleep (may not be that deep a secret if he's a light sleeper)
ooh and maybe if the lands he ruled were endangered as well 🤔
and also she'd have to be under duress to make that choice bc she's too impulsive to stop and think things through u_u dumb anime protag brain
but lucifelix is very cat n dog coded
being more comfortable with someone she would see on a daily commute and exchange pleasantries with/endure hassles with
Copybu: 1, 3, 21?
man just wants to feel comfy n coddled and emery deserves it anyway
in reality he's the plans guy nobody listens too bc he's too overbearing and winds up striking out alone and missing most of the screentime bc everyone else is more intereesting to watch
IDEALLY he'd be cured u know!! and able to just fucking nest somewhere with emery in comfy lodgings, unbothered, unassailed by Problems and just being able to fool a round without fear of breaking him
he's used to that
manabu: aw
manabu not aware he can't fix him he can only make strong suggestions
dog training does not work on cat
ofc
but the other stuff first
flashbacks to him on that cruise just tryina enjoy a massage that's actively gonna ruin the masseur's body attempting
rip
bc she doesnt know that morticians exsist
bc she does that kinda shit herself
game recognizes game
PALAMEDES U POOR DEAFBLIND MAN
current impression: i trust u with my life but i desperately pray every day u do not do any more gross blood stuff or do john-adjacent things by simple merit of being from the same place
until she's exasperated from him
then she needs a break go bother someone else pal
cece: no
pal: do u want to know all th
cece: no
cece: I WILL SET YOU ON FIRE
sorry Leon, your crush on Cloud is not a secret 😂 meanwhile Cloud and Leon both pretending their crushes on Aerith don't exist
