Still reading Redwall by Brian Jacques and I think that Matthias and Cornflower are the only ones who are normal about their relationship.
Methuselah: you'd better not be flirting with Matthias, we've got work to do and I can't have him distracted by his crazy huge crush on you.
Cornflower, literally just standing there doing her job: M'kay
Basil Stag Hare: did you see? Matthias, did you see? The way she looked at you? I think that Cornflower chick likes you! You should ask her out!
Matthias, who's already received her headband as a token of affection from her and in turn made a knightly oath to protect her, basically the medieval equivalent of third base: Gee, you think?
