I love how they fell in love. It was so quiet? It was like it creeped up on them while also feeling like it was always there. Like a whisper of fate. Similar to how the eyes of a person bares into their soul. The little speech about watching the sun rise over the sea and the "loving you has become an integral part of my identity" is just perfect.
I just love how simple love can be....how obvious. Like of course i love you "how could i not?"
I don't think I have a particular bias for anyone but him being so chummy with Ian and dropping "your highness" feels like a shitty thing to do after refusing to do so for years with the prince. I get that the circumstances are a bit different now but still the whole reason was to avoid main characters was it not? Lol idk just ranting
One of the things that stuck out to me this chapter was definitely the shot of their shadowsss you can see their ears too! so cute and they were holding each other so tenderly and the ears really emphasized the roles of hugging/looking up/ears back and holding their head/ looking down sweetly/ears relaxed....best way I can describe it lol they're practically married
