My favourite part about shipping Farcille is considering everyone's view on the relationship, because it is the kind of relationship that's very intense but no specific type of relationship. So everyone might be interpreting their relationship differently. Here's my headcanons (for during the events of the story) for what each character thinks of it:
Falin: Pretty sure Marcille has a crush on her but is in denial about it. Considers dating Marcille an option but won't make the first step (yet).
Marcille: Has a solid crush on Falin, but can't admit it due to her own complexes re: aging - she tries to keep the relationship to the mentor/student and basically siblings thing they had in school because she can't bear the thought that Falin is an adult now and might die of old age within less than a century. If they start dating post-canon, she'll look back at the events of the story like "holy shit that was gay gay huh"
Laios: Has basically adopted Marcille as a second sister, and so considers their relationship that of siblings. If they do start openly dating post-canon, he has to briefly remind himself that they're not actually related and then seamlessly slides into the brother-in-law role (he acts the same as before).
Chilchuck: Thinks Marcille and Falin are already dating but are keeping it on the down-low to avoid workplace relationship drama, which he appreciates
Senshi: Believes they are in love but young and inexperienced, still trying things out
Izutsumi: Not her business, doesn't care one way or another
Toshiro: Considers Marcille Falin's scarily protective mentor and/or mother figure
Kabru: Not enough intel to say clearly, but whatever is going on is intense
Winged Lion: That's one deliciously complex desire right there!
