I like that Arthur is having normal problems. King Gray didn’t have much of a childhood and he’s getting to experience that through Arthur Leywin. Ofc he’s powerful and the action is great and I would love to see Lucas get his ass kicked, but it’s good to see him struggle in something. He may be older mentally but physically he’s like 13 and he’ll have problems a 13 year old will have and that includes other 13 year olds having crushes on him. There’s nothing wrong with that. Friends have fights and that’s a common problem, and you can’t tell me that Tess isn’t right when she said he had problems with opening up emotionally to people he cares about because this even happens with his parents and sister, not just the girls he rejects. She literally stated why she was upset and it wasn’t because he didn’t return her feelings, it was because he wasn’t taking her word seriously and even teased her. Arthur is a good person and he cares about people and I like seeing that side of him and I hope that he would later be able to trust the people who care about him, overcoming emotional obstacles as well as physical ones. But right now I want to see Lucas get his ass kicked.
