Your hc thing of Lloyd basing everything he knows from the knight of blood and iron but it's an au where Novel Javier uses his mana abilites to transcend into the currently reincarnated Lloyd world somehow, so Lloyd now actually has someone to base it on(after he somehow convinces novel Javier to roll with it)

And current Javier being so suspicious about novel Javier but he can't do anything about it bc the two somehow get along well, too

oh wait that's even better i love that!!! i was having trouble trying to think of a way lloyd could fake having conversations with someone without javier noticing it but actually giving him novel!javier to talk to,,,,, i loveeeee that!

lloyd would have a massive freakout, because on one hand, fuck, this javier is older, more experienced, has already lost everything once and will definitely call him out and kill him if he doesn't convince him in that exact instant to keep the secret of everything that happened in the future. he would probably have to spill the beans about him being from another world and everything just to explain the changes in the timeline he's done.

but on the other,,,,, that's the javier he spent hours and hours reading about, he's the protagonist he followed along, the character he maybe kinda sort of fell in love with as he read the novel forgive him for being a bit of mess about that too.

and i think novel!javier would be initially suspicious as hell of lloyd but slowly warm up to him, because this javier knows what a mess everything would've turned into without lloyd's intervention so he can't help but be grateful to him and give him a lot more of leeway than he would've otherwise. this would also evolve into him being extremely overprotective of lloyd, because he already lost his home once, he's not risking losing it again in any way. also he's older than llloyd because i say so.

and javier hates him soooo much

he doesn't trust this mysterious knight who appeared one day and refuses to show his face or tell them his name, he doesn't like that master lloyd seems completely fascinated by him and that they spend so much time talking in private or making references to things only they seem to understand and he really, really hates that the knight seems to want to take over his job of protecting lloyd. like who does he think he is that's javier's hooligan to protect >:c

and because novel!javier resents his younger self a little (misguided self-hatred of being too naive, too weak, too late to save the frontera family in his own timeline) and also thinks it's funny that he's jealous of himself, he'd definitely push javier's buttons by playing along with lloyd's story of knowing each other and maybe even play up just how well they know each other.

hold on i am really obsesed with this actually
