#ammabel x heinrix

[zahra-hydris]

"I am just trying to make conversation. To find out what interests you and what your life is like. Nothing more." "Really? In that case, I shall choose the next topic, if you don't mind." Heinrix looks at you, intrigued. "Be my guest. And what do you want to talk about?"

A familiar figure turns to you. Heinrix van Calox, Interrogator of the Ordo Xenos, bows his head respectfully. "Lord Captain."

I love the hand kiss ending to that romance scene for many reasons (hand kisses in general are *chefs kiss*). but a big reason is that it completely and utterly throws ammabel for a loop.

while she's attracted to heinrix by this point, she does not think he's actually attracted to her and she's still kind of just enjoying his company while 'joking around' with the flirtatious comments. especially after their long-promised conversation felt more like an interrogation (with ammabel getting a chance to flip it onto him after pointing it out) than a proper conversation. even seeing him finally open up a little at the regicide board and his eager agreement to play together struck her still as just friendly (which she's fine with! she truly does not expect anything more from an interrogator of the inquisition).

and then he kisses her hand. no-one has ever kissed her hand. it's insanely romantic. she's speechless. blushes. after so many attempts to throw him off balance, he well and truly bowls her over in one gesture.

gonna do kiava gamma first in act 2 because I feel like it fits ammabel and heinrix's relationship progression better to have them start their little regicide games (where they start getting *attached* to each other) before heinrix starts getting all concerned on janus

When the Interrogator straightens and looks at you, you notice an unusual detail for the first time - his eyes are different colours. With a nod, he steps away and heads for the door.
