I’m sure it is COMPLETELY EARTHSHATTERINGLY SHOCKING that my first otome choice would be Aurelian (though that may be biased). Then my dear darling piece of shit Bertie because I love an unredeamable asshole finding true love and I CAN FIX HIM OKAY????
(also please don’t be mad Talesin you’re just too sweet for me it would never work out baby)

Teasing, I'm teasing with all the love in my heart. That you'd pick Bertrand doesn't surprise me in the slightest, but I feel like his would be the hardest route to find success in. I still don't know what it is he finds attractive or what draws him to people he crushes on, which just further cements my feeling that Rand is greyromantic, and very jaded about romantic love in general after Felix turns him down.
Hmm... Now you've really got me wondering how one would get ANYWHERE in Rand's route that's even positive...
Aurelian being a secret softie, I am not surprised you'd pick him either. And as long as the player has meta knowledge about what this pup loves (his family, films and the making of them, and flowers flowers flowers,) I don't think it'd be hard to romance him in an otome!
(PPPFFFFFTTTTTTT too sweet. Talesin's like a sour patch kid.)
