Lesson 65 feelings

My personal feelings about lessonn65

Characters:

I...don't like Thirteen. For now.

I feel like she's one of those overly loud, obnxious, "not like other girls" girls. Not necessarily a "bruh girl" but still under the "NLOG" umbrella.

And it's not done in a funny "ha ha" way.

Like. Idk it hits different than say Mammon, who is also loud and can be obnoxious? He's funny when he's like that, usually because he's trying to be cool and it backfires. His schemes to get paid are pathetic, and he is usually straight up ignored or drops it and gets back on track when he thinks he's being left behind.

but Thirteen is just....confrontational and....I can't find the right word for it. She's very...pouty. she throws a fit because MC out smarts her traps twice in a row. (On top of the trials they passed in her home).

She only gets over her "I'm going to be a dick to you" when Solomon walks in, then she changes targets.

I'm not particularly fond of Raphael either, he's very stoic and hard to read; but, I do not dislike him? I think he's definitely the easier of the new 3 to deal with.

I don't like Mephistopheles either. He's another overly confrontational, holier than thou (I know, irony) character that just makes me wanna kick him in the shin and tell him to shut up.

At this point in time, I wouldn't blame MC if they have a breakdown and yell "ENOUGH!" at some point to Thirteen's actions.

😑💢💢💢

Also, can we talk about this line?

Usually you offer someone a "how do you do" when you SEE THEM during the moment in question. From the way it's written, it seems like she expected MC to offer her up pleasantries when she....wasn't present?

Does she have security cameras? I mean, she seems like the total type to have multiple viewpoints in every room of her house but, that's not been stated.

We can guess that she knew the gang was coming, thus the message in blood for Solomon and Beel's candle going out faster than it should.

So, did she expect Mc to speak to a seemingly empty room and offer it an introduction?

Or, and more than likely this: she has a high opinion of herself and expects MC to just...know who she is and treat her like she would Diavolo cause she's a Reaper? (High ranking or royalty)

Also, she seemed very upset that Solomon took that book from her shelf. Yet Solomon said that they have a deal: when he wins, he gets something of hers. If she wins, she gets his soul. And he's never lost. She already knew he had dibs on anything he wanted-- I get being upset that she lost, but why take it out on MC?

Solomon obviously knows where she lives? He coulda just come on his own. Without the gaggle of cast with him and took the book. (Yet from the way she wants to cause issues for the sake of issues, she probably would still blame MC for it. She totally seems like someone like this:

Solomon: *does something that annoys 13*

Mc: *no where around*

13 *angry*: "somehow this is your fault, I just know it." *pointing to crumbled photo of MC*

13: "Because of you he stole from me!"

MC: "He said he won something from your cave the last time yall had a game. Where you aware of this?"

13: "Well yeah?"

13: "So how's it my fault again?"

13: "IT JUST IS" *threatens bazooka blast*

Also, there's the line about Solomon's students, I really hope that means that we'll get more Solomon lore this season. From what we know, he's only really taken one APPRENTICE, yes? And it turned out badly when they created the sorcerers government, thing, right?

So, I'm going to make an assumption that Students and Apprentices are different. While he's only had the 1, close Apprentice, he's had many Students.

(Which makes sense, he calls MC his favorite student, and his cute/adorable apprentice)

I think the only time during the whole chapter I didn't wanna snap at her to hush up was during the classroom scene where the trio is scheming a way to take on Solomon, Lucifer and Mephisto.

While she's loud and obnoxious, she's not entirely dumb. She knows it's not gonna be easy to get the grimoire, but she likes a challenge and helps to come up with a plan that just might work. (If they can figure out what the clue is. Which...given her and Raphael's reaction and talks of Love, they're totally not gonna get it.)

Anyway, back on track.

She changed targets again during that time: she's not after MC during this part. She's not trying to show MC up, or get the better of them, or trick them.

her mind is solely on getting at Solomon, getting that book and winning. She's a lot less loud and *high pitched annoying sound, you know the one, reminds you of a kid who doesn't get their way, almost like a dog whistle*

She smart, unwavering and quick to think things through. While Raphs plan to distract Lucifer to get to Solomon would be a good plan in some sense--it'd have to be something a lot more...dangerous than the usual stunts.

Lucifer doesn't want them to embarrass him or Diavolo, but he's too prideful to just straight up forfeit the competition because of his brothers being little shitheadz. He'd be gone for a maximum of like, 5 mins. We all know the boys immediately stop what they're doing when he shows up. He'd save the real punishment for AFTER the hunt.

And the biggest trouble maker would be Mammon. Good luck causing trouble with Barbatos there....

And Solomon would want to tag along to see the show no matter who got in trouble (like when everyone chased Mammon and Levi after the Boogeyman lesson).

So distracting Lucifer would be a bit of a waste of time, unless 13 was dedicated to popping from brother to brother to KEEP them in trouble. Which would leave Team Exchange down a player.

It would be more productive to find their clue and offer a trade for a hint or straight up exchange for a race to the finish line. (The point for MC isn't to WIN but to just keep Raph and 13 from quitting, and enjoying themselves.)

I think I'll like her better when she realizes that MC isn't someone to constantly target, that she's not gonna get the reactions she wants and its better to target someone else. That it's better to plot WITH MC than against.

(I get the sneaking suspicion that it'll be Solomon and the brothers, with Mammon being a quick, go to target.)

Idk about Mephisto, I have yet to see any instance where he's neutral to MC, let alone on the same side.

I also get the feeling Raphael would Fool MC, not by trying, but by simply not being as "fight me!" About stuff. He'll be the lazy-ish "I'd rather not, but okay" type, whereas it's going to be a knockdown drag out with the other two to get them to even tie their own shoes if they're asked.

It'll lull Mc into a false sense of security and then gut punch with a realization that he too despises MC and everything they love.

The scavenger hunt:

I think Team Exchange is on the right track. Like I said before, distracting Lucifer would put a halt on Team High and Mighty's progress, but it's not gonna stop them.

I think the best course of action would be to hunt down Satan. He's the most knowledgeable behind Lucifer in HoL. And it would probably be considered cheating to talk to Barbatos or Diavolo directly.

Just like earlier in the season when he pointed out that the deadline was a clue, I think he will be able to help Team Exchange figure out what it means and a step in the direction of how to find it.

(I already made my guess on what it was)

Since his team was made specifically to keep him and Belphie apart, thus keeping them both away from Lucifer

Yes Diavolo, we know you are trying to split up the Anti-Lucifer league here. We all know Diavolo is very on time kinda Demon, cause he's a prince, but.

if he happened to take so long that Levi was already freaking out before the specific hard to do, embarrassing task was given to him...well...how fortunate that Belphie has to go hunt down his Older Brother, and stay away from Satan?

Back to Satan. We know he doesn't care about winning, what he cares is stopping Lucifer from winning. Going yo him and telling him Lucifer has no idea what the clue is, and the plan is to get to it first--it'll help him take down Lucifer's team the way he wants to. (Since Asmo and Beel won't help him)

However, there's gonna be some mishaps, wouldn't be much of a specific challenge for Team Exchange if it was this easy, right?

We already know that 13 and Raph are gonna fight and wanna quit--cause that's MCs trial--to keep from quitting. I'm willing to bet that Raph wants to quit, because 13 is willing to do WHATEVER it takes, but he wants to play somewhat fairly, or simply thinks her plans go too far.

13 might want to quit and go solo. Reaping is a solo job, and trying to work as a team for this plan isn't working--best to go back being a loner, right? "I don't need teammates! I'll do it myself!"

They already dislike each other fundamentally for being of different races (angel and reaper), so something is going to blow up between the two thar MC is gonna have go patch with their therapist skills to save the day. While gaining some insight into their persons.

🔴Spoilers ahead!!! 🔴

OK. I finished the prologue and I have a few things to say.

First, I keep wondering if they are gonna make modifications to the character's routes because, in Julian's case, he straight up tells you he doesn't remember killing Lucio when in fact, when you play his route, he admits missing those memories AFTER he kind of realised he had a strange connection with you. I mean the man had to save you from vampire eels, give you a flower that could kill you, let you press his wound, and run away from the guards to actually tell you he doesn't remember.

Secondly : One of the reasons I liked Muriel so much was because he was kind of like a russian roulette. You saw this guy, had no idea how he was like and through a fantastic character development you realise he's a cute cinnamon roll. I'm not as upset about the dialogue in the prologue than to him blushing while talking. I liked the mystery, and now I feel like he lost something. Like at the beginning of his route he's super cold towards you and even harsh, but in the prologue he becomes a soft cute ball? I don't get it. How are you gonna explain him being kind of an ass with you after you helped him?

I liked that Nadia appeared and actually identified the apprentice as the one she saw in her dreams because I always thought she mistook me for Asra and then someone told her and she was like: Oh... Well, I invited them anyways. But it's very out of character of her just openly talk about Lucio's murder there, at a shop, not knowing who might me listening.

I actually liked that they showed us the relationship Portia and Nadia had, because I felt like it was missing. But Pasha seemed darker? Somehow.

Then we have that entire thing with MC dreaming of that hall where Lucio's room is located. It's all very fine, but... Care to elaborate in his route the connection? They simply dreamed of it because now they have premonitions? Because their body was supposed to be his?

And lastly, and trust me, I don't say this because I hate the character, but Asra used to be super hurt about leaving, and the apprentice shyly asking saying things like 'Why you never answer my questions?' was kind of cool, it meant there was so much to uncover. Also, and regarding his route in general, it would have been nice for them to explain Asra's feelings further. Not towards MC, that bit is quite clear, but everything he's feeling. I often I think of Asra as someone rather toxic, and MC just going along, not really asking questions or pushing subjects. Like in the Lazaret when MC learns that they died and they're like: Oh OK. Like.. Ask him why he left. Be angry. You just find out you died for God's sake. Explaining Asra's weaknesses, like his fears to let people be close to him, to be this mysterious and often distant... Make him seem like less of a toxic person. More human, more open to MC. Not just 'let me just adore you and not answer anything you ask' I feel like he shares nothing with the apprentice and I would love to see the reasons of why he's the way he is, for the sake of his character development instead of having us making theories and being like someone who just madly in love with you and that's it.

That's it. I said it. Now I feel better.

Summers Day

Genre: Fluff, slight NSFW

Characters: Muriel from the arcana and my apprentice Eliza

A/N: I have an announcement...... THIS MOUNTAIN BABY NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.... thank you for hearing my announcement :)

a little bit about my MC

Her name is Eliza (she/her. Female.) She is 5′2 has brown wavy hair, brown eyes (with specks of green) she also has adorable freckles across her nose. lastly she has a artic fox, named Nell as a familiar who is enchanted to keep cold during the summer and whenever Nell walks she leaves behind snow prints on the ground (think of what Olaf from frozen has lol)

It was a unusually warm day in Vesuvia and the forest wasn’t spared from the heat waves that came through the clearing were Muriel’s hut was. Eliza is laying down on the grass with Nell on top of her, it’s on days like these when Eliza is extra grateful to have a enchanted arctic fox that is constantly cold during the summer as a familiar. She pets Nell with both hands humming as she lets the cold seep into her warm skin, she has her eyes close when she senses Muriel’s presence near her. She opens her eyes to see him looking down at her crouching down resting his arms on his knees having a soft expression on his face.

Eliza gives him a small smile. he tilts his head a little to the side and she can see his eyes move from Nell then back to her. she truly does love his eyes, Every time his eyes land on her own brown ones her stomach does a flip and she sometimes forgets to breath. they hold the emotions that sometimes Muriel can’t express with words. The same forest green eyes she can get lost in so easily, and lost in them she did get at that moment because before she knew it, Eliza was nodding to something he had said. Muriel was standing up reaching a hand down on the way to help her up. Nell jumps off her chest and Eliza takes his hand standing up as well.

“I’ll go get the food so you can get ready” Muriel says before turning back towards the hut leaving A still confused Eliza behind. ‘Get food? Get ready? Ready for what?’ Eliza Had completely zoned out when he was talking to her a few seconds ago. She looks down at Nell for help and sees that the fox was excited about something. She wags her tail and puts two cold paws against her leg “going to lake! With big man and wolf Friend!” Her excited voice rings inside Eliza’s head before Nell darts over to the hut as well. understanding what is going on, again Eliza is grateful to have Nell as a familiar who can relay information to her when she gets distracted by things and by things mainly by Muriel. She shakes her head and smiles as she starts her way towards the hut to get ready.

* * *

They had been walking for about 30 minutes and the sun didn’t show any signs of easing up soon as it’s hot wrath continued through the sky. Muriel wanted to take Eliza to a lake that he had found some time ago it was different from the one he usually gathers water from, meaning it was farther away but the two lovers didn’t mind, in fact Muriel was happy to see Eliza smiling and laughing despite the long walk and the heat. She had changed into a long lightweight skirt and a white shirt that exposed her shoulders and the top part of her abdomen, just that small sliver of exposed skin made Muriel blush when he saw her come out the hut not wearing her usual attire.

Muriel had insisted in carrying everything but of course Eliza wouldn’t let him. so he compromised letting her carry the towels and blanket. She stayed close to him, over the months they were together her presence became something his body got used too, becoming a part of him. at times when she would leave, he found his body missing the sound of her footsteps next to him, her soft breaths or how sometimes there bodies would occasionally brush against each other. Their walk consisted of talks (mainly Eliza talking Muriel listening) or just comfortable silence as they listened to the sounds of the forest , watching their familiars run along.

“We’re almost there.” Muriel spoke up seeing the tree that he had marked with a line, that would go unnoticed by someone who wasn’t paying attention. “Really?” Eliza says looping an arm through his “then come on let’s hurry before the sun truly bakes us!” She says as she tugs his arm to walk faster, he lets out a chuckle at how cute she looks, eager to get to their destination. When they pass the trees they come to a clearing that holds a well sized lake and a small river that trickles it’s way down some rocks. The trees surrounding the scene provides the perfect shade on the bank and on the water providing them with a refreshing breeze that cools their skin.

It’s so nice Eliza can’t help but let out a gasp “Muriel it’s so pretty!” She goes on her toes and back down again excitedly. Muriel feels a warmth of proudness spread in his chest at the fact that he found this place for her. “There’s a nice spot over there.” he says as he leads her over to a section of the lake we’re the ground is filled with brightly colored flowers shaded by the trees, he drops the bag that he was carrying and takes the one that Eliza has as well.

he looks back to Eliza who hasn’t said anything and sees a look of surprise on her face. “Do...you like it?” He asks nervously, not being able to stop his wondering mind. ‘was this to much?’ ‘Is there not enough shade’ ‘does she think the water is to dirty? ’he had come here prior to make sure it was clean. ‘Did he bring enough food?’ ‘What if she-‘ his thoughts were cut off by a small body hugging him tightly “I love it Muriel! It’s-it’s perfect, this- you....” Eliza stammers over her words just overwhelmed with happiness that Muriel did this, that he thought of bringing her here. She finalizes her rambling with a “thank you”

still hugging him she goes on her tippy toes and kisses his cheek. And just like that all the doubts in his mind went away. He places a hand on the back of her head and smooths her hair “I’m glad you like it” Eliza gives him a smile and he blames the heat for the red that tints his ears and cheeks. He clears his throat “do you wanna go in the water? it will be refreshing.” Eliza pulls away from the hug a smile still on her face “that’s what we came here for right?”

Eliza lays down a blanket and takes out the towels so they’ll be ready to use. She glances at Muriel who had already discarded his cloak and is petting Inanna and Nell by the lake. Eliza quickly takes off her white top which has her top part of her bathing suit underneath, she glances again at Muriel to make sure he isn’t looking as she begins to slide down her skirt.

She doesn't know why she feels embarrassed in removing her clothes in front of him even though she is wearing something underneath, it’s nothing that he hasn’t seen before, there’s been plenty of times where he has accidentally walked in on her changing and among other situations... she shakes her head to Dispel the thoughts going through her head. When suddenly she sees Nell bark at her causing Muriel to turn around looking at Eliza with her skirt half way down her legs. His eyes quickly take in her figure from the bottom to the top until he locks eyes with her. Both of their eyes go wide and both turn bright red. Muriel turns back so quick that Eliza worries about his neck. She ignores the warmth on her face and body and slides the skirt all the way off stepping out of it, returning her clothes to her satchel. She draws in a breath to calm her pounding heart and walks over to where Muriel is. She wraps her hands around herself even though her bathing suit is not very revealing, just a baby blue two piece with high waisted bottoms.

Muriel sees her come up to his side and becomes red again trying not to glance up at her exposed legs next to him. So instead he stands up, but this action makes him be able to see all of her. she looks good in her bathing suit, it hugs her body the right way, exposing parts of her she usually keeps covered. Muriel finds himself secretly hoping she doesn't look up at him so he won’t have to look away from her.

“Is the water cold?” Eliza asks looking at the water by her feet. “not really.” He replies without thinking, looking at the way the breeze moves her light brown hair against her back. Eliza moves forward and puts a foot in and she lets out a Yelp retreating her foot from the water making the tall man come back from his thoughts. “ah! it is cold!” She giggles. Muriel laughs at her reaction, he steps into the water acclimating quickly to the temperature, it was kind of cold but refreshing nonetheless against the heat around them.

”it will feel better. if you just jump in fully” he says to her and hesitantly she steps in again, she gets both feet in and walks towards him as he takes a step back making her walk further. She stops when her calves are submerged and she shakes her head “it’s cold ! How are you fine?” She brings her fisted hands to her chest as she sucks in a breath through clenched teeth. Muriel laughs again at how tiny and cute she looks. He takes another step back “it won’t feel cold if you do this” he says before he ducks down into the water, letting the chill water cover him fully.

Muriel resurfaces pushing his wet hair back and Eliza forgets how to breath. She’s seen Muriel shirtless, heck he never wears a shirt, only on some rare occasions he would. So she shouldn’t have been this wide eyed at seeing Muriel in the lake with the water reaching his waist.

But one thing is seeing him on land , skin and hair dry without a shirt and it’s a whole other thing seeing him without a shirt with wet hair and water droplets going down his tan...very muscular...skin. She snaps her jaw shut and refocuses her vision on Muriel calling to her.

“The only way imma do that is if you carry me out there, it’s to cold to walk over there” she laughs joking with him. However She didn’t see the flicker of amusement that passes through the mountain mans face as he starts walking towards her. Before she realizes it, Muriel picks her up bridal style and walks back to the middle of the lake. “Wha-wait Muriel!” Eliza says wrapping her arms around his neck and before she can say anything else she feels herself be submerged under the cold water with Muriel. Initially there was a slight shock to the water hitting her hot skin but quickly her body relaxes with the feeling of the water against her, refreshing her and giving her new energy.

Muriel Resurfaces again still carrying her and shakes his head to get the hair out of his face and looks at her with a smile. “Feel better?” He asks. Eliza removes the water from her face with a hand and places it back on his shoulder letting out a laugh “yeah I really do” Muriel gives her a look that says told you so but she knows he will never say it out loud. Then the both laugh together, happiness washing over them. a pause comes between them as their laughs die down but their smiles staying. They both look at each other, Eliza lost in his green eyes once again and Muriel lost in everything that is her.

Muriel brings her closer and Eliza’s eyes flicker to his lips a light blush growing underneath her freckles, he leans his head down tilting to the side. They both begin to close their eyes as their faces come closer together, but before their lips could touch They suddenly feel a splash of water come over them making them both open their eyes and see that Inanna has jumped into the water and is swimming towards Muriel with big splashes. Both of them laugh at Inanna and being caught off guard, Inanna makes her way in the middle making Muriel let go of Eliza so she wouldn’t get squished by the large wolf. Eliza takes the chance to swim enjoying the feeling of floating in the water. she looks towards the bank to check on Nell and sees her chasing a butterfly, she wasn’t much of a swimmer preferring running on land better, also with her spell she would find the water way to cold rather than refreshing. Eliza Turns back to Muriel and Inanna enjoying the lake as much as they can.

At one point Eliza does magic with the water, bending it into spheres and letting Inanna swim after them until she pops them with her nose. Eliza accidentally manages to create a large one making it harder to control and it ends up popping above Muriel, drenching him completely. Eliza pauses and looks sideways to Inanna and she swears she can see the wolf smile. Eliza looks back to Muriel whos hair covers his face like a curtain. Eliza lets out a laugh she covers her mouth to stop laughing but it doesn't do much help. “I- I’m sorry Muriel, I didn’t mean to-“ her ‘apology’ gets cut off by a splash coming at her. She looks at Muriel with her mouth open in surprise but quickly turns into a smile “oh you did not just do that!” She splashes at him, Muriel looks at her with what seems like a smirk “you started first” he splashes at her again. “Did not!” She sends another splash. Inanna barks and joins the splashing and soon it’s a full on chase.

After a bit Inanna retreats to the bank calling it quits from the water fight, she shakes herself off and goes to lay down in the sun to dry off, Nell already bounding towards her. Eliza tries to get away from Muriel before she's splashed again by him “alright alright truce! I call truce!” She says before she feels a pair of strong hands go around her waist that bring her towards him, she twists in his arms so she’s facing him. Muriel lifts her up slightly his hands going to her hips as Eliza wraps her legs around his torso under the water. “That means. I win.” Muriel says making Eliza laugh, he doesn't show his competitive side that often but when he does she finds it adorable that she can’t help but give him the win, even though it’s a truce. “Fine you win this time” Eliza laughs again resting her arms on his shoulder, looking down at him.

From this position Eliza is taller than Muriel, a rare occurrence that Muriel loves, of course he would never admit it out loud. He can see her features in a different angle, he liked how her warm brown eyes would look down to his dark green ones, liked the smile she had on her face taking on a form of a smirk, liked how her wet hair was all to one side framing her face. liked feeling her smooth skin as one hand went up her back making his stomach do a somersault, he liked the way the sun was hitting her body making the water droplets become small shining crystals. No. He didn’t like these things. He loved them. it wasn’t the sun making her shine it was her entire self that was making her beam brightly in front of him. His light in the dark, his light. and he loved it. she looks so Beautiful, he never wants to forget this image of her. He wants to tell her all of this and so much more, he wants to let her know how much he loves and cares for her. But words never came easily to him and sometimes he curses himself for it, for not providing that for her.

Muriel realizes that he had pulled her closer to him and there faces were inches apart, Eliza looks into his eyes seeing something in them as he sees something flicker in her own eyes. He gathers all the courage he can and leans up to kiss her softly, sighing at the feeling. Then after he makes sure she wanted him by pausing for a second and letting her reach out for him, he places his hand on the back of her head deepening the kiss, letting all the words he wanted to say into the kiss. But the ones he wants her to know the most are ‘I love you.’ He feels her hands slide from his shoulders into his hair threading her fingers through and tugging lightly making him hum against her. His hand leaves her hip to tighten around the back of her thigh making her let out a soft noise, which makes Muriel’s heart quicken.

When they finally part to catch their breath Muriel sees Eliza’s flushed face and in turn his goes bright red, he hides his face by placing it on the top part of her chest, his head finding its self in the spot underneath her chin. He can feel her racing heart that matches his own as he hears Eliza let out a soft laugh “I love you too” she says hugging him back around his head resting her cheek on the crown of his head. Muriel face heats up again happy that she understood what he meant...she always did, one look at his face and he knows that she understands. He squeezes her slightly, “good. That’s good.” He mumbles against her skin.

* * *

After they had dried themselves off the couple sat on their blanket to eat underneath the grateful shade. Eliza feeds Nell who was laying on her lap bits and pieces. Muriel had turned his back to them not wanting Eliza to see what he was doing after he finished eating. Eliza laughed at how he shifted and grumbled whenever she would peek over his arm curiously. She stopped and let him do whatever he was doing.

Giving the last piece to Nell Eliza puts her hands behind her and leans on them closing her eyes letting the descending sun warm her face, it was cooler now the heat wave finally making its leave for the day. Eliza hums for a few moments enjoying the sound of the river and the rustling of leaves, until she feels something on her head, she opens her eyes to see Muriel drawing his hands back from whatever he had placed on her. She reaches and grabs at the item and sees that it’s a delicately made flower crown. Eliza sits up, her heart clenching, adoring the crown that he had made for her using the flowers around them. “Aw Muriel it’s so pretty! Thank you” she places it on top of her head and gives the big soft man a kiss on the cheek making his own go pink. “Your...welcome. It looks nice on you.” He mumbles the last part but Eliza still feels Butterflies in her stomach at Muriel’s compliment. She puts her head on his shoulder weaving her arms through his. “How did you learn to make them” she asks still in aw at how he made it so quick and precise.

“Asra taught me. To entertain ourselves when we were kids.”

“Ah I see” she smiles at the thought of the two boys making flower crowns together in the forest. “I guess you will have to show me how to make them?” Muriel hums in agreement “okay. But... another day we should get going. Suns going down.” And at that moment a chill wind passes through sending a shiver down her spine “sounds good.”

* * *

Muriel and Eliza pack up their site. she quickly changes into her shirt and skirt while Muriel packs up the left over food. They both fold the blanket and she puts it in her bag. “All done!” She says looking over the spot they had used, making sure they didn’t leave anything, Muriel grabs her small hand in his and leads them out and away from the place were they both enjoyed the day, it would soon become a place that was frequently visited by them two, there own little oasis in the forest.

As they were making their walk back the weather turned cooler, the evening sky presenting its orange hues above them. The silence was a comforting and relaxing sound for Muriel, he takes in a big breath and let it out slowly. he then feels Eliza bump to his side again for the third time and hears her mumble a soft “sorry”. He looks down at her to see what was wrong and is surprised to find that her eyes were half closed, tiredness clearly Displayed on her face. The days activities were finally settling in, making her body want rest.

“Are you alright?” Muriel stops walking. “Hm?” Eliza looks up at him slowly, Muriel suppresses a smile. “Are you tired?” He asks fully knowing that she is even when she shakes her head no “I’m fine, I’m...super duper fine” she says with a tired smile and Muriel knows that she’s getting to the state we’re she starts acting weird, he’s Encountered this side of her a few times. The first time he got so confused and worried, he didn’t know what to do. He asked Asra about it the next day and his white haired friend laughed telling him not to worry, she was acting like this because she was really tired and all she needed was rest. Muriel notices that she’s slightly swaying on her feet. not wanting her to get to that weird state and not wanting her to walk anymore knowing that she is tired, he lets go of her hand and sees her pout at the loss of contact. He steps in front of her with his back facing her and lowers himself to one knee. “Get on.” He states

“Eh?” He hears her reply

“My back. Get on.” He says again.

“N-no I’m fine! I can walk really!” She says, but he still doesn’t move. “Besides” she continues “you’re carrying stuff and I’m heavy” Muriel tries not to laugh at that last excuse, he looks back at her. “Eliza, let me carry you, please” Eliza’s eyes widen a bit and a tint of pink goes across her nose as she looks down to the ground. “O-okay” she says and steps forward putting her arms on top of his shoulders. his hands grab her thighs and he lifts her from the ground keeping her close to his back, Eliza lets out a small surprised Yelp at how high she is from the ground and she can’t help but let out a giggle as she presses her self against him fully, nuzzling her face into his neck, breathing in his scent.

she hums as she closes her eyes letting the tiredness come over her. “Strong man Muriel” she mumbles and the said strong man chuckles as he continues walking. “I love you” he hears her say sleepily all of the sudden and Muriel tries not to trip as his body fills with warmth and his heart beating faster, a smile appearing on his face. He turns his head and kisses her forehead “I love you” he mumbles ever so softly he’s pretty sure she didn’t hear it but little did he know it was the last thing Eliza heard before drifting off to sleep.

ikerev, ikesen, and arcana matchups pls?

i’m an infp that borderlines intp/type 9 enneagram and a college student who’s working to get a doctorate in medieval history + western tradition.

i’ve been described as ‘aloof’ more than once but once you start talking to me i’m pretty nice. i’m very strong willed, practical and patient, but my tongue can be sharp but i try not to hurt people too badly with my words. i’m very slow to trust others with romantic feelings but i’m affectionate once i’m comfortable.

i have always attracted very emotionally troubled ppl to be my friends and it’s given me an intense fear of them leaving me once they get what they want from me/no longer need me.

i love anything beautiful and when confronted with something cute i become a mess. i love to walk, sew, and antique shopping, and i adore children and animals. thanks! 💖

I’m so sorry for the wait, but I hope you still see and enjoy the matchup!

Ikemen Revolution

I’d pair you with............................................ Blanc Lapin!

Your aesthetic literally screams Jonah Clemence, so it was hard to drag my mind towards anyone else. There’s quite a bit of overlap between your interests, so I had to close my eyes and pluck out the remaining suitors to make sure that my initial bias wasn’t clouding my judgment. And I am glad that I did because Blanc suits you a bit more!

The recordkeeper is also your tour guide around the Cradle, so he’s not taken aback by your initial aloof nature. He understands that this is a lot to take in, especially since you’ve just fallen from another world where science is highly valued. Blanc will always remain a friendly and judgment-free pillar that you can always visit whenever you have any questions or concerns.

Besides, there’s plenty of opportunities to interact with him! As he shows you different places and teaches new rules, you find yourself growing more comfortable around him. Unlike your other friends, Blanc is also much more emotionally stable, so he never asks for anything from you. If anything, he’s constantly trying to accommodate for your well-being, so it’s a nice change in pattern. Soon, conversations begin to arise and the two of you become extremely close.

Additionally, Blanc loves to take you to antique shops around the town. He knows you love to look at them and insists on paying for any item that you want to buy. Of course, you always refuse to buy anything because you don’t want him to spend money on you. This happens every time the two of you walk into an antique store.

To make up for all the gifts he couldn’t buy for you at the antique store, Blanc decides to gift you with a relic that he holds dear to his heart: an antique stopwatch. Your eyes light up as you feel the cold metal between your fingers and pop the watch open. It’s a reminder for your time in the Cradle, just in case you decide to head back to your world.

Blanc shares your love for history, so the two of you can spend hours discussing the historical events of the two worlds. Although there are many things he can’t tell you, Blanc will happily talk about different aspects of history that most people overlook. The two of you spend some time comparing and contrasting Cradle and Western traditions, which leads to another rabbit hole of interesting conversations. The conversation only comes to a close when Olive barges into the room and drags Blanc away.

Another Possibility: Jonah Clemence

Ikemen Sengoku

I’d pair you with............... Mitusunari Ishida!

I originally thought about doing a complete 180 and going with Kenshin. Although the two of you would be frosty towards each other, mutual respect would develop over time. Additionally, you would never have to worry about Kenshin leaving you because he makes it very clear that he wants to spend the rest of his life with you. However, I ended up staying on the sweeter side and went with Mitsunari.

Mitsunari has no problem approaching you during your colder stages. He’s a literal angel who only sees that best in everyone, so he is more than happy spending time with you during your early days in the Sengoku Era. You don’t turn down his companionship because everyone else in the palace manages to irritate you.

Now you need a lot of patience to deal with Mitsunari’s clumsiness, which really helps drive this relationship. The warlord isn’t ditzy, but he’s too focused on other things to take care of himself. Sometimes you’ll have to drag him from his pile of books and take him outside for a nice stroll by the river. The two of you point out the different animals and objects that cross your path. You even teach him how to play “I Spy”, but he always guesses correctly with one guess.

Mitusnari appreciates your practical approach to life because it provides him with a different perspective. He’s constantly considering the theoretical possibilities (due to his excessive time studying and planning tactics), so it's refreshing to hear your perspective. He learns a lot about things that he never considered before.

The warlord’s support for your sewing projects is endless; he loves everything that you make. You could literally sew two trashbags together and he’d manage to find something special about it. He’s always excited to examine your latest products and has even asked to learn about sewing. However, you’re more worried that he’ll prick all his fingers, so you just show him the basic techniques.

Another Possibility: Kenshin Uesugi

The Arcana

I’d pair you with................. Asra!

Usually, I have a hard time picking between two suitors, but I think this one is fairly clear! However, I’d say that your runner-up would definitely be Muriel as he wouldn’t be off-put by your aloof demeanor. Additionally, I think there would a beautiful story between the life-long bond of trust and connection that would form between you and Muriel. However, Asra takes the cake in my book.

I’d assume that you’d seek out Asra to better understand magic and explore your capabilities as a magician. Similar to the MC apprentice in the game, your relationship would probably brew from those interactions. Asra is willing to help anyone with a stronger passion for magic and you find yourself delving deeper into the tradition, culture, and history of Vesuvia magic.

Asra admires and appreciates your steadfast and patient attitude. Since you have plenty of history in screwing up with your extensive student background, you have no problem spending extra hours with the magician to perfect your imperfections. It brings him great pride, especially as he watches you improve and apply your knowledge towards reality.

I can confirm that Faust will be your number 1 wingman. The slithering companion will always be on a lookout for opportunities to bring you two closer. Sometimes, Faust will coil around both of your arms, placing your arm against Asra’s arm. You’ve got to give credit to the snake because that’s how the two of you first held hands.

The magician has spent most of his life waiting, so he has no problem waiting for your affection. Besides, the wait will only make your future affection seem much sweeter. He can’t get enough of the soft hugs, cuddles, and kisses that you shower him with, so he’ll sneakily find opportunities to display his affection towards you.

You become a mess when you see cute things? Well, Asra might purposefully take you to a field with the cuties bunnies because his heart flutters every time you gush over something adorable. The two of you lay on the grass, laughing and playing with the bunnies that crawl over your face.

Another Possibility: Muriel

Thoughts on the new heart hunter

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, I have to do this, I have feels and no one to share OTL (If anyone wants to make a discord server let me know, I need more people to talk to about it) Under the cut because spoilers, but I recommend it to everyone to play it for themselves first!! Also sorry for the ramble and keep in mind I only played like 9 rounds of it, I probably don’t know anything about them yet lol It’s just my opinion on what I already saw.

Okay I was like, so excited to get to know Lucio’s character better but he just turns out to be an ass, great. . .

Also who in the world writes messages to someone in bold letters, like Lucio, calm down, the hecky

Buuuut, he’s scared of the Lazaret lol. Interesting enough he writes “This place wasn’t my fault... you know that, right?” which kinda shows that he feels bad about the whole thing? Like, obviously he knows somewhere inside of him that it’s his fault, even if he tries to overplay it and all, but that he wishes to express this to the player? Interesting...

Also wanting to show the player more impressive places (when meeting at the cave at night). Dunno if that is actually sweet of him or lowkey naughty lol

Then again, I am so mad because he seriously would bring up Nadia when you meet him (in daylight) at the palace. He says something about him and Nadia being a good team when they were together but that the player could just be as good which is lowkey rubbing me the wrong way, so he’s still an ass

Also like, he wants more statues in the city of himself and I was just like: God no

Lucio and Julian interactions??? Disappointing. Like, yeah, no one likes Lucio, I get that. But all Julian does is run away like always? Portia at least makes snide comments and I hope (haven’t seen that yet) that Nadia, Asra, and Muriel do too. Lowkey wish Julian had more confidence in himself when they meet, but hmm... only saw two interactions, there might be more to come.

Also Julian seems to just passively avoids talking to Lucio, like when they meet in the servants wing and Julian asks if Lucio never cleans (LOL though, who’s Julian to ask, he’s a mess lol) and Lucio just says that he has servants for that. Since the convo is so short it could be interpreted at Julian giving up the conversation which just is so saaaaaad

After seeing Julian and Lucio interact at the Plaza too, I think the problem lies in Julian being the initiator of the talks because this way Lucio has the last word. Also, the fuck is Julian trying to do by telling the count his speech was rousing? If that was a failed attempt at being sarcastic, I cri. Poor Julian, really can’t stand his ground

Then again I CRIED because I had him meet Portia at the shop and he was all like: “[Apprentice] wants to see me!!” and Portia is just like: “Don’t think so, yikes” Best girl srslyyyy

Lucio saying he know’s how to deal with “this guy” when landing on Muriel’s hut is kinda sad to think about

Also like, Portia’s new outfit? I got the gays. What’s with the boobies I don’t know, but damn she’s working the clothes well

And Portia having her hair down? Gorgeous

Portia and Nadia interactions? More like PortiaXNadia interactions imo, but that’s okay, let the girls be girls right

Portia and Asra’s interactions though: Wholesome, friendly, uplifting, cheerful, motivational, good stuff so far from what I have seen

I want to go sailing with Portia too, who would have though she has similar dreams to her bro?

Muriel lowkey disappointed me because I was kinda into the HC that he can’t read or write but he can apparently, and it’s adorable

He signs with m... so cute

Nadia playing wingman for MC and Muriel????

Muriel finding everything okay when you are there???? Him blushing a lot??????

He still likes to avoid crowded places but suddenly some spaces become more enjoyable for him it’s adorable. And he even tells you that people make him nervous but you don’t, just... how adorable can you be???

He deserves everything??????

Still haven’t met him in the Colosseum, still scared of that, poor Muriel ):

They are selling is old loincloth in the underground market, that’s so sad, and awkward and meh, whatever sells right

Also, Muriel being worried when you meet at the cave? Adorable, cured my depression, I’ll be careful from now on

Muriel/Julian meetings? Somewhat awkward but rather peaceful, I approve

Muriel/Asra meetings? Wholesome brothers, with Asra trying to make Muriel get to know new people and his friends, I live for that

He brings you! Protective charms! To your home! Thank you, you funky little shy man

I think it’s interesting that they replaced the goat in Faust’s heart gain with the courtiers, though since I know Nadia’s route so far I feel bad for Volta

Mercedes and Melchior? Best dogs and I main Mercedes now though maybe when Lucio gets his route and we get to know Camio better I might go back to him lol

Mercedes having her tongue out while running is so adorable, urgh, cuteness overload

Love how you get a shuffle on the characters. Doesn’t overload the minigame and still gives you a chance to see all the interactions
