How crushing stage!RO reacts if a random person approached them and asked something like “I see you’re very close to the MC! Maybe you happen to know if they are available? I have a crush on them.”

Leon (assuming war phase) would likely still be oblivious to his own crush, and hence doesn't feel the need to sabotage the other person's chances. He would confirm the mage's relationship status to them, though not without a healthy dose of teasing ("The mage? You sure are shooting your shot, aren't you?") But what's that strange throbbing in his heart he gets every time he doles out courtship advice?

Ilya (also assuming war phase) would gently advise the other person that the mage is under incredible duress as the cornerstone of Leon's rebellion--as such, they might not be in the right frame of mind to pursue a relationship. It would be a sound advice, and one that she genuinely believes in--but if there are ulterior motives to her giving it, well, who can tell?

Eli's priority is always the mage's happiness, first and foremost. They would honestly disclose the mage's relationship status and give advice on courting them as requested, all the while making the effort to woo the mage themselves.

F is unlikely to say anything to the other person, simply replying to their query with a stink eye before stalking away in a huff. They're a competitive person by nature, so they'll redouble their efforts in courting the mage (misguided though they might be). If the mage suddenly finds that the frequency of F's here's-a-gift-and-also-an-insult visits have suddenly increased, well, now you know why.

Yu will easily confess that they too have a crush on the mage, and that the other person can wait their turn--all the while implying that they're hellbent on making the mage like them back. They're rather confident in their chances, you see, so the other person shouldn't hold their breath.

◇Major Spoilers For AMR Ahead◇

I feel like the AMR fandom is filled with so much angst, rightfully so, that we might need some holiday cheer to lift our spirits. I would draw all the characters in holiday attire but I can't draw for shit, so have some spoilery memes instead.

Also-

I love Leon with my whole heart, but I want to fist fight him so bad too. MC's hero complex gets them stuck in so many self sacrificing situations where they are nothing but a tool for people.

Introducing: Yusuha Mateus

Yusuha is here!

Power shoulders. Crop top. Skin-tight black leggings. Billowing sleeves. Gold-enameled belt. The rope from Adrian's fanart. Yusuha's combat outfit is far from practical and takes forever to get into...but such are the sacrifices one must make to be the most dashing assassin in all of Nightsaber.

(The only thing he hates more than unnecessary bloodshed is Eli's fashion sense. Trust and believe that he'll have plenty to say about that!)

Yurui is up next!

Other portraits: M!Eli | Leon | Ilya | Saine | F!Eli | Yurui

Hi Adam! Can I ask: what are the ROs favorite place to kiss and favorite place to be kissed? 🥰

You could probably figure this out by now if you played his romance route, but Leon is big on forehead kisses. He finds it an incredibly intimate gesture, and it's also because of this that he uses it sparingly despite how much he enjoys it.

Ilya and F are both traditionalists in the kissing department, and nothing makes their day like a good peck on the lips. The former mostly enjoys its more chaste incarnations; as for the latter, well...if they'd let their guard down enough to let you do that much, they might as well let you go the whole nine yards, right?

Physical touch/intimacy isn't really one of Eli's primary love languages; they instead prefer to show their affection through acts of service and quality time. They'd be perfectly happy to accommodate mages who are physically affectionate, but they'd mostly follow the mage's lead on what that affection looks like!

Yu's favorite place to kiss is a bit difficult to mention in polite company...maybe ask them yourself in-game, sometime in the future? ;D

WHICH RO IS EASY TO GET JEALOUS ? I can't wait for the next update and the angst moments between MC and R0 👁👄👁

F is probably the most jealous of the bunch. They keep themselves very emotionally guarded, and see romantic involvement as a showcase of their own vulnerability. Their biggest fear is to have that vulnerability exploited and their pride trampled upon.

Eli is next on the list, though their jealousy is also heavily informed by their protectiveness of the mage. Given the mage’s history, they can’t trust anyone but themselves to have the mage’s best interests at heart.

Ilya is very devoted to the people she loves, and expects the same amount of devotion in return. Because of this, she would be susceptible to bouts of jealousy, but is more likely to immediately address it with a heart-to-heart rather than making it snowball into A Whole Thing.

Leon isn’t the type to be naturally jealous, because he tries to assume the best in the people around him (except when, uh, the security of his nation is at stake. as it were.) However, proven acts of unfaithfulness will injure him severely, and he would be most likely to carry that hurt as baggage moving forward.

Yu is too easygoing to be truly jealous, though they’re not interested in relationships where their SO consistently makes them feel like they’re not good enough. It’s a different story if it’s an open or poly relationship, but if it was agreed or implied that the relationship is exclusive, then they would expect the mage to honor their end of the bargain.

how would the ROs (+Siane and Aunt Bess) react to the MC being sick, and how would they care for them? :o sorry if this has been asked before!

Leon would be a picture-perfect example of the phrase ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’. Expect his infamous deer stew to make a repeat appearance. Some mages, however, may find that his permanent stay by their bedside and generous showering of forehead kisses are well worth the ordeal.

Ilya and Eli would both have their healer instincts kicking into high gear and be strict with the mage during their recovery. There’s no time for soft fluffy thoughts when they’re handling the mage as if they’d die tomorrow. It’s lockdown in the alchemy lab for Ilya as she tries to concoct the perfect recovery potion for the mage’s needs, and the kitchen for Eli as they attempt to make the most bitter of herbs palatable enough to eat.

Aunt Bess probably falls close to this category as well, just minus the theurgy/healing arcana. And where Ilya/Eli’s promise of post-recovery torture if the mage defies the recovery regimen is mostly empty, Aunt Bess is perfectly willing to make good on that threat.

Saine, much like his brother, has no real nursing abilities to speak of. Unlike Leon, however, he isn’t delusional about his drawbacks as a human being, and is likely to outsource proper help from Ilya/Eli to help the mage recover.

F would be much in the same boat, strong-arming the only theurge in Nightsaber to come to the mage’s aid. They would also harass the Archangel and Catarina to fork over any medicine or potions they might have in stock, even when the mage’s illness hardly calls for such measures.

Yu (spoiler alert?) is capable of some minor theurgy, which they’ll stretch to its boundaries in trying to care for the mage. They’ll be too worn out to keep up their usual banter with the mage, though after the fact they’re sure to use the fact that they’d saved their life to jokingly extricate, ah, favors from them.

ros reaction to mc saying "look I can hold the whole world in my hands!" and then holding their faces? ❤️❤️❤️I love this scenario

Leon would grin wide enough to split his face in two, and place his own hands around the mage’s face. “That makes two of us.”

Ilya would sputter at the gesture, not really knowing how to react at first. “Stop it, this is really cheesy,” she says, notably moving not one inch away.

Eli would be quietly happy, scratching at their cheek bashfully. They wouldn’t say much beyond a simple “thank you”, but it just may be the case that the mage will be having a seven-course meal for dinner.

Yu isn’t the type to be easily moved by overly romantic gestures, but something like this (when used sparingly) would be enough to tug at their heartstrings. They’d move their mouth to kiss the mage’s hand, saying: “If you’re trying to butter me up for something, it’s working.”

F would not be functional. Skin the shade of Sunflame. Will eventually tell the mage through gritted teeth that they love them too, while never quite managing to look them in the eye.
