I have a lot of fun imagining if Ari and Kato had witnessed Chase’s ultimate loverboy behavior in the Swamp. The torpedo approaches…

Kato: 😅😅

Ari: 😒... disgusting... your denial and self-destructive behavior disgusts me... just get married already... you stupid little vermin

if a stranger was to walk into the shepherds compound and observe MC and RO (in crushing stage) interacting, how would you rank the ROs in terms of what the stranger would think of them from ‘just two friends!:))’ to ‘oh my god can they just get a room’

Ooh, I love this question! (I have a vague feeling of deja vu like I've answered something like it before, but I'm too lazy to go looking--)

Blade: it depends on the person and how strong their shipper senses are, but 96% of strangers would look at them and go "oh wow what professional colleagues and intimidating figures of power. they seem to be equals and he clearly respects her" and that would be about it! Most people can't perceive that Blade feels any emotion at all beyond stern professionalism, flat dead-eyed stoicism, or an extremely dry and hard to pin down sense of humor 🙃

Trouble: the genuine surprise of 'oh you guys aren't married?? ...you're not even dating? YOU'RE ONLY FRIENDS???' They would be so completely confused and thrown off lol, like genuinely mystified because their behavior has no explanation otherwise lol

Tallys: probably only other Elves would be able to cotton to the fact that Tallys and MC are shagging because of very subtle things that Tallys was doing (especially if MC is Elf-raised), like certain inflections or tones of voice Tallys might address MC with, but pretty much everyone else would be completely oblivious and might not even know that they spend a lot of time together at first glance, thinking them to simply be coworkers!

Shery: I think a particularly perceptive person or someone with strong shipper goggles (I count myself among this group lol) would totally be able to tell that Shery has a crush on MC, like RIGHT AWAY, but wouldn't think much of it beyond that--they wouldn't assume that they're an official couple or anything! It'd probably be like 50% of people (who cared to notice) would notice, and 50% of people would be oblivious!

Riel: "they are acquaintances and business associates", and the buck stops there --I think long-time business partners of Riel's would be able to tell that he clearly held MC in high regard, but they would never have a suspicion that it was anything beyond that!

Chase: I think a lot of strangers would assume MC and Chase are boinking just by the way he outrageously flirts with them... So I'd say most strangers would think they're together just from wandering into the scene and witnessing their interactions, but ironically people somewhat acquainted with Chase (like Thieves Guild members from other cities, etc.) wouldn't bat an eye, because he already has that reputation among their circles, so they wouldn't think it means anything in particular!

Red: I think probably 70% of strangers would be able to tell "those two are clearly into each other/have great chemistry" or at least would think "oh those two look good together/would make a good couple", but not automatically assume that they're in a relationship or be like “omg get a room!”!

Ayla: most strangers would see that they're good friends and that Ayla gives MC special treatment in comparison to how she acts towards others (like the difference would be quite obvious), but it wouldn't be something obviously or overtly romantic to a total outsider!

Briony: I think most people would be able to see the situation for what it really is (two people crushing on each other) because it's just so clear and obvious, especially with how transparent Briony is with her emotions, but they wouldn't read into it more than that! Just like when you see two people working at, like, a store or a coffee shop and you can clearly see them flirting with each other, but also that they’re not actually in a relationship. You might be like 👀 or you might be like “oh maybe that’s just how they interact” and then not think much more on it!

Lavinet: I think most strangers would be able to tell Lavinet and MC were close, not just strictly coworkers, and possibly even mildly flirtatious, but wouldn't think much of it beyond that, especially with Lavinet's differing status: they might automatically dismiss the opportunity even before it arose because it’s just so far-fetched to them. Keen-minded nobles might be able to glean more of the true situation, though!

the shepherds when they find out MC is on the way home with another super-strong new friend/completely unnecessary addition to their growing army in tow

seed: MC who smokes can’t light their cigarette so Trouble offers them a light and they have to cup their hands together to shield the flame and it’s a strangely tender and intimate moment 

sapling: MC who smokes can’t light their cigarette so Trouble casually leans forward to touch the lit end of his cigarette to theirs in an ✨ indirect kiss ✨

tree: Trouble can’t light his cigarette so MC casually conjures a flame between their fingers and lights it for him and that is the exact moment he forms a massive crush on them and is left absolutely speechless
