Did the Warden employ any tactics to 'seduce' their LI? (aka, stuff that they did to show they were interested)
thank you for the ask!! <3
Elsanna Cousland: her LI is Alistair and honestly their relationship started pretty naturally. I think if she really did anything it was that she was relaxed with him, she'd banter with him, he could make her laugh even if she was in a bad mood or trying to be serious. She made an effort to seek him out and spend time with him in camp and she listened when he talked (him saying "i'm more used to people not really listening when i go on about things" hurts me spiritually) and took his opinions into account even if in the end she went with her gut at times instead of the opinions of those around her. Basically she let it be known and seen that he mattered to her and that she felt happy and at peace around him but there were no real grand gestures (on her end anyway, she still treasures a petal from the rose he gave her and keeps it preserved in a pendant she wears) just gifts here and there and quality time. Once they were actually in a relationship they were pretty much inseparable so he definitely knew she was serious then lol
I also think the moment she knew she could come to love him was honestly the first conversation she had with him, it was almost love at first sight for her which was extremely new for the girl who had blown off suitors for years without a second thought.
But here she was at her absolute lowest, betrayed, her family (and the man she might have fallen for before) dead and her home burned and her future uncertain but bleak.....and he made her laugh anyway. Just a little and it did make her wonder if she was losing her mind finally for a second laughing at a time like this. But there it was and it was so *nice* to feel even a sliver of emotion through the emotional numbness she'd been trapped in for months since the fall of Castle Cousland.
Anyway i love them....
Thanks again for the ask! I hope that was coherent lol
