YOU GET IT YOU UNDERSTAND ME AND WHY HE'S SO NEAT!!!!

He's so completely terrified of genuinely admitting he cares (for really good reason without getting into spoilers for his story) so he shows it in his actions!! If he says it, then he can't deny it with sarcasm!!!! And like, my KC knows that too!! So he wears Daeran's gift to go: "I know you won't say it and I know you'll chase me away if I say it, but I feel the same and this is how you know I do."

okay vague Heaven's Edge quest spoilers under the cut!!!

I imagine as far as what goes though his head having a KC he likes be a frontliner is a LOT of fear!! Like, he's already lost the people he truly cares so much for! Daeran HAS to keep a frontliner KC he's romantically interested in at arm's length because what if he loses them again? Could he even handle losing someone he cares about again? What if his oracle curse, helplessness, kicks in at the wrong moment?

Even worse, what if the KC finds out about The Other? What would they even DO? Hate Daeran for it? Say something about it and get themselves and Daeran killed?

He's a character who exerts as much control over his own fate as he can by doing whatever he wants because he has NO control over the things that are truly precious to him.

ANYWAY. Daeran Arendae good character 12/10 I love him.

My knight commander had a completely normal time in Blackwater and totally didn't give his definitely-not-boyfriend healer a heart attack while he panic casts breath of life
