Oh my god I could ramble about the funniest shit in regards to Lace & Hera... AND THREADBOUND RELATED--
Lace isn't really properly Hera's auntie until she's apart of the family, and that happens through her starting to date Hollow LOL
(Hera still calls her auntie regardless. Lace proclaimed herself as such, and the kid went along with it. THAT'S HER AUNT!)
It... takes them a long time, though. Slowburn is HELL but it makes incredible sense for those two. Neither of them has been in relationships ever and more specifically, Lace doesn't find herself lovable nor desirable-- AND Hollow truly doesn't know how to go about telling her they like her. But their chemistry is so fucking obvious to everyone else that it's painful and makes them want to pull their nonexistent hair out.
...
Even Hera can tell they like each other.
This little girl would straight up go up to Lace and ask her why she's not dating her auncle yet LMAO
TAKE THE HINT LACE!!! EVEN HERA KNOWS YOU TWO LIKE EACH OTHER!!!
Thankfully, miraculously, they do get together. It's just. After a lot of shit. By that point, Hera is like... (if we're using human years) 8-9 years old LMAO-
(and Lace has been friends with Hollow since before Hera was hatched, god you slowburny fucks)
