#it Also sparked my Particular interest in Witches and Baking and having my Own little bakery

[beegswaz]

ough. Art blog theme debate..

[barbecuedphoenix]

Hello! I want to know what are your headcanonds for the perfect girl for the boys + leiftan

This is such a temptingrequest… but I have this uncanny feeling that if I answer this, I’ll startanother witch-hunt on Eldarya’s Tumblr community. >_>

…What the hell. I’ll do itanyway. Witches are the ones who have all the fun. ;)

For impartiality’s sake, I wrote an analysis instead of a headcanon. (Sorry, Anon.) But this particular analysis is based off the in-game dialogue options (up to Episode 11) that score the most approval points with each fellow, as well as the inverse of the dialogue options that earn the most disapproval from them, and other observations from scenes where they’re clearly demonstrating anger/disgust/pleasure/etc. without the MC making specific dialogue choices. All of this data information is then compiled into a rough, composite image of their ideal partner’s personality.   

Still, if there’s anything in this analysis that you want to add to, correct, or pick a bone at, go right ahead. I’m only up to Episode 11 after all, and primarily on Nevra’sroute; my perspective of what makes these men hot for someone is by no means complete. ^_^

Edit: Made a few changes to Leiftan’s entry after Episode 17′s shenanigans, but the body of evidence used still ranges from Episodes 4 to 11. 

Ezarel

His Ideal Partner:‘The Idealistic Nerd’, who is…

1. An Openhearted Optimist…

Ezarel is easily boredby decorum, so what’ll pique his interest is someone who’s sincere andeven rather open with their emotions… and casual enough to grouse back (infront of company) whenever he taunts them. (Ep.5, 11) If they start off a little shy at the beginning, then he knows that he’seffective they’ve learned to drop their facade around him, which heapproves of. (Ep. 8)  

Though he’s a committedcynic, Ezarel appreciates a partner who’s naturally optimistic about people andnot just because they’re easy targets. A person who believes in others’potential, who refrains from evaluating on first impressions, and is willing togive even clueless or abrasive characters credit for trying, can inspire him tosoften his own opinions. (Ep. 8, 9) Notto mention it’s gratifying for him to know that they believe he has a heart deep down. (Ep. 5, 9)

Because he avoidssentiment like the plague, Ezarel also benefits from a partner who’s much moredirect with their affections, and isn’t easily discouraged by his off-the-cuff ‘rejections’.(Ep. 8, 9, 10) To coax out his ownheart, they shouldn’t be afraid to bare theirs repeatedly.    

2. Who Practices Humility and Respect towards Others…

This prickly elf willonly tolerate someone who’s (very) considerate: who’s civil, respects workplaceconduct, controls their temper at work,and is constantly mindful about what might inconvenience others. (Ep. 4, 5) And will never finish all the rationed honey. (Ep. 9) If they automatically respect his space when he’s working, then he’sinclined to keep them around. (Ep. 5)  

A decisivelack of ego is what generally wins his respect and assures him that this new face is (perhaps)worthwhile company. Someone who isn’t presumptuous about their status,knowledge or skills, but instead studies from and respects the existing systemwon’t find it hard to get along with Ezarel. (Ep. 5, 8, 9) If they’re also aware of their bad habits andphysical quirks, and can freely admit them, then he’ll find it difficult not to get to know them. In his own way.(Ep. 8, 9)

3. And Keeps a Durable Sense of Humor…

Let’s be honest: Ezarelis still a child at heart who gets along best with someone who’s a sitting duckfor his jokes. A partner who has a very literal– even innocent– cast of mindwill rapidly become his new favorite target. (Perhaps) in an affectionatesense. (Ep. 6, 8, 9, 10)

And once the ball isdropped, he prefers a victim who’s easygoing enough to not take his jokes/pranks/critique personally. If their defaultreaction to embarrassment or strange setbacks is reflection instead of anger, then he’s bound to form a good opinionof them. (Ep. 4, 7, 10) Not thatthat will stop his assault.

4. Who is Reliable…

Despite his incessantjokes, Ezarel keeps high ethical standards for the people closest to him (usually).So his partner needs to prove themselves more scrupulous than average: thoroughwith their work, self-sufficient, naturally cautious, and (very) responsible inowning up their mistakes whenever they err. (Ep.4, 5, 7, 8) Diligence, care, and honesty are qualities that he respects orat least can’t quite shred with his jokes. (Ep. 3, 7, 8, 9) And above all, they need to be consistent withupholding their own ethical standards, for themselves and others; hypocrisy issomething Ezarel finds difficult to swallow. (Ep. 7, 8)

His partner also needsto be obedient able to trust his leadership and defer to his skills whenthe situation calls for it. If they notice and respect him for being meticulouswith his work, then he knows they won’t question his words when he’s deadly-serious.(Ep. 5)

5. And a Believer in Logic and the Sciences…  

Though he enjoysmessing with gullible unsuspicious minds, Ezarel can’t actually abide peopleincapable of reasoning out an answer. So his partner needs to have no passingfamiliarity with logic: able to observe patterns, notice discrepancies, and makerational deductions based on available data. (Ep. 5, 9) For critical tasks, he especially values a partner who seesthe import of collecting and synthesizing information, and can separate primaryfrom secondary objectives. (Ep. 9)

A fellow nerd is alsoan ideal conversational partner in Ezarel’s world: someone who doesn’t veeroff-track in a discussion, and prefers to spend time on substantial topics (likethe sciences, medicine, esoterica, why people don’t get along with people,etc.) (Ep. 7, 8, 9) Though theycan, of course, waste time trading sarcasm. And if they can jibe at resident airheadstogether, then he knows he has found a friend in them. (Ep. 9, 11)

6. Who Takes a Dignified Stand when Threatened…

This aristocrat can’ttolerate a partner who snaps back at him or outwits him. (Ep. 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11) So if anything, theymust be a diplomat at heart: who believes in maintaining harmony in thelong-run, dissolves grudges, and remains calm but firm in reminding him to drophis jokes. (Ep. 5) Whenever Ezarel stepstoo far (which he is aware of, dimly,in the back of his mind), or someone else does, he respects a partner who willstand their ground and calmly point out a fallacy in the way he/X-party treatsothers. (Ep. 4, 5) And let him salvagehis pride before he walks off. (Ep. 4, 9) Their ability to wield reason as a form of defiance can complement his own approachin answering threats with logic (minus the barbed insults).

7. But Loosens Up for Loved Ones…

If he can’t clownaround with his partner, then they might as well not date at all. PoorEwelein. Ezarel enjoys the company of someone who enjoys receiving– anddispensing– screwball sarcasm in the name of innocent fun, and flirtation. (Ep. 5, 8, 9, 11) That’s his secondlanguage, after all.

Once they become morefamiliar with him, he can’t say no to an impish partner who pokes fun at hisfoibles that he’s aware of (i.e. his pride, incessant smart mouth,pretentiousness, etc.). This, to him, is permission to return the favor and sparka friendly war of words, which he loves. (Ep.9, 10, 11)

All fun and jokesaside, perhaps the main prerequisite for Ezarel’s partner is the ability to respect his personal space and decisions withoutquestion. Allowing himself to be physically and emotionally vulnerable isstill a (high) hurdle for him, so patience and a good sense of humor arenecessities. (Ep. 5, 9)

8. …While Enjoying a Natural Touch.

Ezarel has a botanical nerd’sdeep appreciation for the outdoors, and an aristocrat’s belief that he has excellent taste. Thus his partneralso needs to see the beauty of old growth, wild terrain, and rambling Zen-stylegardens… and isn’t afraid of a profusion of pink. (Ep. 5, 6) And if they can avoid disturbing the peace with theirvoice, instead keeping a gentle, dulcet manner of speaking… he might even letthem talk all day instead of him. (Ep.8)   

Nevra

His Ideal Partner: “TheSensible Secretary”, who is…

1. An Introvert…

Nevra appears to bedrawn to someone more reserved than he is: who doesn’t mind if he takes theinitiative, and whom he needs to win over, court, tease, and cajole. (Ep. 3, 4, 5, 11)

Though he admires anindependent-minded partner, someone who’s still a touch inexperienced orcautious in navigating the world always brings out his tender side. Especiallyif they must take a moment to swallow their pride and (shyly) approach him forhelp; that’s his chance to swoop in as their hero (or their sugar daddy).(Ep. 3, 4, 11) 

2. With an Analytical, even Skeptical Mindset…

He’s definitely notenamored with naivete. Nevra values someone who’s perceptive: who knows how tosift carefully through available information, second-guesses initialassumptions, identifies (really) half-baked plans or attempts at short-changing them,and proceeds carefully if there’s a sore lack of facts. (Ep. 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11) They also need to be able to respect andpreserve the truth, instead of adding to the mire of misinformation; then he’llstart seeing them as one of the few, reliable people he can speak to. (Ep. 7) And if they’re well-read, or at least enjoy collecting facts, then they’ll be one of the still-fewer people he truly enjoys talking to. (Ep. 4, 9)

That said, this rakerespects people who don’t allow themselves to be easy targets for his charms.If they don’t automatically swallow his slick one-liners, but (politely)question or poke holes in them instead, it spurs him to try even harder to winthem over. A smart lover is infinitely more interesting. (Ep. 3, 4, 8, 9)

Still, he won’t say noto a few slip-ups that he can capitalize on with his jokes. It’s more fun ifnobody’s perfect. (Ep. 8, 10) Andhe needs to be told he’s a bad boy… whom they love anyway.

3. Who is Assertive, but Civil…

Given how much he likesto maneuver people, Nevra responds well to someone who’s confident in speakingtheir mind. But as a bred gentleman who values good manners, he responds evenbetter to a person who can defend their interests in a civil, classy way (i.e.doesn’t retaliate with insult) and habitually pays respect to the partiesthey’re negotiating with. (Ep. 3, 5, 6,8, 11) A little sarcasm though is always nice in his book. (Ep. 3, 5, 8)

If they refrain frompegging him as a lecher, liar, or a man with a football-stadium ego (whichis actually true), then he’s compelled to give them a similar second chance(and more) to earn his affections. (Ep. 3,5, 6, 8, 10, 11) Because believe it or not, that flirtatious front is intendedto win people’s affection, not repelthem.

4. And Naturally Driven…

An ambitious man bynature, Nevra automatically identifies with someone who shares a strong workethic: who believes in applying themselves, finishing a job well, and seeking their own opportunities. (As long as they’re not grasping for his position.) (Ep. 5, 9) He generally thinks well of people who refuse to sitidle, and especially well if they’reunafraid to put themselves on the line for goals that matter to them (likewinning his heart). (Ep. 5)

Pure ambition thoughonly goes so far in charming him. He respects a committed team player more thana lone wolf: someone who thinks about the best ways to contribute to a groupeffort, and is mature enough to look beyond themselves and their own interestswhen faced with setbacks. (Ep. 5, 9, 11)That, to him, is the mark of a truly respectable person.  

Though he has areputation as a generous man who spoils loved ones rotten, Nevraultimately prefers someone who isn’t clingy and tries to rely on themselvesfirst instead of his resources. Which makes his surprise gifts that muchmore poignant. (Ep. 4)

5. But Trustworthy as a Person…  

Honesty goes a verylong way with this spymaster (who deals with backbiting snakes on a dailybasis, or people who’re detrimentally concerned with their image). (Ep. 3, 6, 9) So someone who’s moreprincipled than vain–who can accept responsibility, values keeping their word(or at least doesn’t rescind it easily), and comes clean about personaldifficulties or the limits of their skills in trying times– is a rarity in hiseyes. (Ep. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) Agenuinely down-to-earth person is a refreshing change in his world. 

6. And a Calming Influence…

Being the unlikelychaperone of his motley social circles, Nevra doesn’t have much taste for (other)drama kings/queens. So he appreciates somebody calm: who also believes in maintaininggroup harmony, is unlikely to panic when dropped in hot water (especially on amission), and can promote an easy, informal atmosphere with others (even if itmeans putting a smile on their face after a social blunder). (Ep. 8, 9, 11) And given his ownmischievous streak, they better know how to accept jokes with aplomb. (Ep. 8, 10)

When it’s his turn toplay the drama king, this proud vampire benefits from a partner who’s bothpatient and practical (and doesn’t bombard him with repeat lectures). (Ep. 8, 9) They need to be able toweather his errors and his bursts of anger tactfully, and willing to open thepath to reconciliation right after an argument (he’s especially happy if theygive him a chance to make matters up to them). (Ep. 6, 9) A person who stays calm for the benefit of others andsmooths over conflicts quickly inspires him to recover his composure and followsuit. Because even if he catalyzed an argument, he’s never happy if others are unhappy with him.

7. Who’s Playful but Loyal in Demonstrating their Love…

He’s a blatantlysensual man, so he enjoys someone who physically isn’t shy around him. And isgenerous with hugs. (Ep. 8, 9, 10)But they need to know how to keep the game interesting: he can’t say no to acoquet who baits him with sweetness and offers of affection, then dodges beforehe can return the favor. (Ep. 8, 11)

They also need to begood sports at being teased themselves, willing (or transparent enough) to showhim when they’re feeling possessive or horny affectionate. Otherwise,they won’t last one week with him. (Ep.8, 10, 11)

But all fun and gamesaside, Nevra benefits most from a partner who enjoys his company beyondthe sex (Ep. 9), and invites him to relaxat the end of the day, instead of pushing him to continue exceeding others’standards. (Ep. 11) The idea ofthem loving him no matter what willmake his head reel with romantic couplets.

8. …Without Ever Losing their Sharp Sense of Style.

Nevra is a vain,materialistic man who’s enamored with the ‘finer things’ in life. So heappreciates a partner who’s a bit of a sophisticate themselves: familiar withluxury, fine foods, the benefits of a stiff drink after a mission, theprinciples of dressing well… and the chicness of dark colors. (Ep. 6, 8, 9) Being kinky, or at leastopen to experimentation in the bedroom, is an added bonus. (Ep. 11)

Valkyon

Ideal Partner: ‘TheSavvy Team Captain’, who is 

1. An Extrovert with a Curious Streak…  

Valkyon is the furthestthing from a social butterfly, so he benefits from a naturally-expressivepartner who never lacks for cheer or energy.(Ep. 5, 8) He always appreciates a person who can generate a convivialatmosphere, and isn’t afraid to take the plunge in leading conversations. (Ep. 10)

Though he’s morepractical than curious, Valkyon will never say no to someone naturallyinquisitive: who wants to learn about the world around them, the plight ofpeople abroad… and characters who don’t automatically open up to them. (Ep. 4, 5, 8) How else will he starttalking to them? In his book, a curious person is a person who isn’t afraidto care. 

2. Who’s Never Shy in Standing Up for Themselves…

As a veteran soldier,Valkyon prizes assertiveness in his partner: someone who doesn’t necessarilyseek conflict, but knows exactly how and when to stand up for themselves,refusing to abide rudeness or mistreatment for long. (Ep. 8) A person who’s straightforward in expressing what’s ontheir mind, and isn’t easily intimidated by forceful characters (or bluntand poker-faced ones), quickly earns his respect. (Ep. 5, 8) And if they take a droll view of people with egos, servingback a little snark, then he knows they’re someone who’ll understand his jokes.(Ep. 10)

They need to be morethan mere talk though. Valkyon also appreciates a partner who’s able andwilling to defend themselves when physically-threatened, and won’t lose theirresolve even in risky circumstances. (Ep.3) Few things are sexier than another warrior.

3. And Keeps a Powerful Sense of Duty…

This man is aborderline workaholic who runs his life by-the-book. So what he naturally looksfor is a partner who shares his belief system: somebody responsible whopromptly finishes tasks entrusted to them, and holds themselves fully-accountablefor their mistakes, especially if the welfare of others rests in their hands. (Ep. 5, 6, 9) A disciplined person whounderstands protocol, doesn’t react petulantly to orders they disagree with,and can put aside personal impulses or schemes for the good of the unit,will also find no obstacles in getting along with him. (Ep. 5, 8, 9, 10). Trust is valuable currency, and Valkyon prefersa partner who doesn’t spend it lightly. (Ep.3)  

His ethical standards thoughgo beyond mere unit discipline (fortunately). Valkyon takes a liking tosomeone who’s also a protector in spirit: who genuinely enjoys contributing tothe community, lends their aid without repayment, and won’t shrink from firewhen protecting the defenseless. (Ep. 7,8, 9) He can’t help but salute someone with a (fierce) conscience. 

4. Without an Accompanying Ego…

As a man who’s sparingwith his praise, Valkyon gets along best with someone who isn’t needy, but insteadworks to gain approval. (Ep. 9) And whokeeps a realistic perspective on themselves, unafraid to acknowledge theirflaws and personal limits when needed; humility and self-awareness are marks ofcharacter in his eyes. Only then is he inclined to praise them. (Ep. 5, 8)

Because of his earlylessons in self-reliance, Valkyon automatically respects someone similarlyindependent in accomplishing tasks, and who dislikes accruing personal debtwith others. (Ep. 3, 4, 5) Also, theybetter be unafraid of getting their hands dirty when trusted with important (butunpleasant) work; he has no patience for people who distance themselves fromthe frontlines or refuse to pull their own weight. (Ep. 9)

5. Who’s a Natural Tactician and Pragmatist…

As a committedlogician, Valkyon approves of someone who knows how to strategize: who canidentify the most practical course of action, work around logistical concerns, andkeep a higher perspective on where time and effort are best invested. (Ep. 5) Somebody who at least tries to thinktheir decisions through is, in his words, welcome company. (Ep. 9) And if they can extract useful details from even scantinformation, then he’s just impressed. (Ep.4)

Still, even he knowsplans have their limits. So he appreciates someone practical enough to withholdexpectations before entering the field, and who can revise opinions under unforeseendevelopments. (Ep. 9) Mentaladaptability, to him, is what matters in the long run. 

6. But Respectful and Observant of Others’ Feelings…

Valkyon subducts hisown feelings like a tectonic plate isn’t emotionally-savvy, so his idealpartner needs to be someone sensitive to the emotional temperature in the room…and knows when to back off if a party is silently simmering. (Ep. 5, 11) Since he doesn’t appreciate pushiness, it’s imperativethat his partner knows how to respect others’ privacy, decisions, and silence. (Ep. 4, 8)

It’s been hardwiredinto his system to remain stoic under duress, so a partner who’s respectful andaccepting of others’ fears– and physical vulnerabilities– would be a hugesource of support. (Ep. 5, 6) And ifthey’re openminded enough to avoid drawing early conclusions on others’strength, then he might even open up to them. (Ep. 5, 6)  

If his partner is caught in a disagreement or under duress, whatValkyon respects is the ability to negotiate in a civil manner: heeding andrespecting what other parties have to say, before submitting a logicalargument. Though he can’t say no to a little emotional wheedling if they’reclose. (Ep. 9) Someone whodoesn’t react with anger when baited, but instead stands their ground andultimately rises above provocations (with a sarcastic roll of the eyes)is sure to earn his approval. (Ep. 10)  

7. And Patient when Caring for Him…

This man is stilllearning how to ease out of his ‘I Am an Instrument’ mentality. So heappreciates someone patient but persistent in learning about him, (Ep. 8, 11) and even a littleprotective; (Ep. 9, 11) who showsthat they care for him as a person.

Also, they need to beforgiving of his lack of expressiveness and social obtuseness. (Ep. 9, 10) In fact, a partner whodoesn’t mind sitting together quietly, without badgering him into aconversation, is sure to stoke his affections. (Ep. 9)  

Valkyon doesn’t ask formuch from his partner once they get familiar, but he’s unwavering on what hewants. To start, they shouldn’t be afraid to speak to him honestly, or trusthim with their feelings. (Ep. 5, 8) Andthey should never neglect to tell him if they’re venturing out alone(especially to hostile or uncharted territory); he’s a worrier who fiercelyguards the few loved ones he has left. (Ep.9) Because though he’s tight-lipped about it, Valkyon ultimately needsassurance that his partner won’t ever leave him.

8.    …While Asking for Nothing More than Quality.

Valkyon is adown-to-earth man with no intention to entertain divos/divas. So he’smost comfortable with someone who also shares minimalist aesthetic tastes, andappreciates the subtler luxuries: like quality craftsmanship, lastingmaterials, utility, wholesome flavors, and plenty of open space and light. (Ep. 6, 8) And if they’re unafraid to gooutside with whatever they happen to be wearing at the moment, that’s one lessheadache for him. (Ep. 5)   

Leiftan

His Ideal Partner: ‘The Warm-Hearted Counselor’, who is…  

1. AGentle, Compassionate Soul…

Leiftan spends enough time dealing with cynical, high-strungand/or sadistic colleagues when he’s not off on unpleasant missions of his own. So someone naturally kind, who sees no problem withdemonstrating concern for others, and can be emotionally-affected by whathappens to innocents on the field, will be a ray of sunshine in his life. (Ep.9) Their willingness to see the positives in others– and actpositively despite everything– will remind him that there’s still plenty ofgood left in the world. (Ep. 10) No need to let that bleaknessin his heart take over then.

At heart, Leiftan is aproud man who won’t hesitate to defend what he holds dear (or what he haschosen to associate himself with) from censure. So he deeply-appreciates apartner who isn’t critical by nature, but instead makes an effort to understandothers’ positions first… and if necessary, is willing to give credit fortrying. (Ep. 8, 9, 11)

2. Who’sa Natural Diplomat…

He of all people knows the importance of compromise and keepingcool in a crisis; drama rarely has its uses for negotiations. So he’ll begrateful to find a soul who favors a peaceable, constructive, and above all mature approach to problems, and iswilling to make the first gesture for a diplomatic solution even if they’re notthe ones at fault. (Ep. 8, 9) He’s especially happy if they canfinish with a kind touch: not beating on others for their mistakes, butassuring other parties that matters will be all right… once they reach asolution. (Ep. 9, 11) This gentleman (for the most part)believes in finishing negotiations cleanly, and so should his partner.  

Leiftan also finds it hard to resist someone with a healthysense of humor, who knows how to crack (goofy) jokes to diffuse tensions. (Ep.10) That’snot his strong suit, after all. Laughterreally is the best medicine, and he doesn’t get enough of it.   

3. AndDiscreet in Managing their Feelings…  

Despite how freely he volunteers his help, counsel, and motherly affections for those who’ve caught his eye, Leiftanapproves most of characters who take the mature stance with their emotions: whodon’t automatically complain or burden him with their woes, but are open enoughto admit that something is wrong, and actively look for waysto solve their own dilemmas. (Ep. 5, 10) Then he starts hitting them with hisadvice. He respects those who loathecausing a fuss, but are still graceful in accepting help if it means reaching asolution. (Ep. 10)

And given how scant his free time is, he definitely prefers aconsiderate partner who dislikes imposing on his schedule. (Ep. 5) Or prying into confidentialdiscussions. (Ep. 4)

That’s not to say hedoesn’t approve of assertiveness. In fact, Leiftan appreciates someone who’ssimple and straightforward in stating the facts when they’re (severely) tested.To him, that shows an admirable level of trust and dignity (regardless of whatthey actually say). (Ep. 9)

4. Who’sMethodical with Tasks…  

He’s a man who believes in checks, system, and protocol; evenwhen he’s prepared to unleash a little chaos, his actions have to follow alogical procedure. So if his partner displays a similar level of cautionand method on entering new situations, he’ll be much less inclined to worry forthem. Orlecture them. (Ep. 5)

On the whole, he approves of an organized partner who likeshaving a system to answer to and doesn’t shy away from paperwork. The Guardcan often be a mess, so it’s reassuring for Leiftan to know there’sone person he can rely on to do things properly. (Ep. 8)

5. BecauseThey’re Passionate about their Work…

Few things bring a smile out of him more than seeing real passionat play: someone who enthusiastically believes in their work and the goodthey’re doing. (Ep. 7) And a partner who also reflects deeplyabout their objective and the progress of the mission– beyond the surfacedetails– won’t find it hard to earn his admiration. (Ep. 9)Knowing idealism touches him because he has sacrificed his own sappiness long ago, and missesit.

6. Who’sGenerous with their Affections…

He’s a secretive man with a morbid past, murkier goals, and thusvery few outlets left for his tenderfeelings. Which means that when he doesfind a vent for his affections, his sentimentality is fit to rival Nevra’s.Thus, Leiftan appreciates a partner with a healthy sense of romance, whowelcomes his classically-chivalrous gestures along with the more suggestiveones and encourages his capacity for tenderness. (Ep. 10, 11) Andwho isn’t against crying leaning on his shoulder once he offers it to them. (Ep.8, 12)  

But as much as heenjoys dispensing affection for his few loved ones and being needed by them, Leiftanprobably benefits more from someone who looks after him: who’llencourage him to sit down, share his stories, actually eat, andenjoy people’s company. (Ep. 10, 11) Because he’s accustomedto operating alone and sublimating his own problems, someone who demonstratesconcern for his welfare, and wants to connect with him, willleave a powerful impression. (Ep. 9, 10, 11)   

7. …WhileNever Forgetting the Simple Joys in Life.

For Leiftan, moments of true peace tend to be few and farbetween; he rarely has the time (or will) to let himself go. So somebody just alittle whimsical, who knows to appreciate the simple pleasures in life (likelying down on the forest floor) and won’t hesitate to take them, can inspirehim to do the same. (Ep. 10) And start the long road to recovery.

Barbed-Phoenix: *keels over* 

Barbed-Phoenix: *gets back up* When it comes to unlocking the secrets of maximum approval… there is no sacrifice too great. 

Either way, I hope this analysis satisfies, dear Anon. Though it’s still far from a concrete path to maxing out your Love-o-meters. 

Because according to one anthropologist… the only ideal partner there is, is someone willing to work at a relationship. ;) 

If you enjoyed this analysis (and even if you didn’t), drop me a message in my Ask Box. I’m always happy to hear from other players. Take that any way you like. ;)
