Food for thought: markus and north's relationship is one born in battle.
Ok so like. They just "fell" in love with each other because they were both brave and dangerous. Its like two dauntlesses getting together because the other gives them that fighting adrenaline.
there's no real....adoration?? affection?? there's definitely admiration but it's the shang "you...fight..good" admiration. did markus ever once smile at north or tell her he likes her???
my point is I think they like each other because they're both fighters. its like how daredevils like a really high cliff.
