MC accidentally doing Lemurian courting rituals bc culture differences and she thinks it something casual or just cute while Rafayel is caught off guard everytime skdj
Like Follower MC asking if Rafayel could paint the markings on for her bc its really hard to do it well, and she's confused as hell when he calls her scandalous and walks off all pink in the ears (Give him three days he'll show up at her door one morning and say he'll do it.)
Princess insisting that Abysswalker dance with her even though there's no music, and with each step and turn he's getting more aware of how in sync they are even with no rhythm to guide them- barely a step out if line- and his thoughts drift to how this is often an unspoken test partners do when they're sizing up the other for bonding compatibility. MC doesn't know why he's so much more clingy all of a sudden, but she isn't going to be mad about it lmao.
Bride finds a coral still thriving somewhere in the ocean and brings a part back to Rafayel to show him and IMMEDIATELY he's teasing about her being forward.
Hunter MC has complimented his scales before which is a big sign of being interested, but also she once made up a hum while cleaning the studio that was mostly mindless and wandering. But when Rafayel commented on it, she said teasingly "thanks, I was thinking about you and all this mess while I was making it." And all Rafayel hears is she was thinking of him and writing a song and he's immediately off the ladder insisting they have to make it a complete piece now!!
