I'm always so late with these! Buuuut now there is more to talk about. Heh.
If you look up to see how his rating compares to others you should know that pretty much everyone needs to go up a heart or a half a heart. She is finding it easier to attach to people as she stays here. I should really stop giving them. She hates rating people.
Aaaaaaanyway...
She does like Hanna! She thinks he's sweet and open and, well, kind of outwardly emotional actually. And there is something in all that she really admires and finds curious.
The royal family was very competitive with brothers and sisters vying for choice spots in the empire. Her father believed in survival of the fittest and this applied to his children as well as to the countries he sought to overthrow. Euphie is a little insecure. She has always had smarter, stronger, and more talented siblings. She never really knew where she fit in, but she didn't want to be better than them. She just wanted to make them happy and proud. And she didn't want to be alone. She never really had parental figures in her life. Her father was distant and imposing. Her mother was (headcannoned because she is never mentioned) a non-presence in her life. Two of the siblings she was closest to were exiled and then pronounced dead. Her older sister always looked out for her, but she was also very driven and had duties to attend to as did many of her siblings. I also assume that there were lots of politics involved and many mothers were probably strategic about who they let their children play with. So, despite the overwhelming numbers in her family I think Euphie grew up as a girl who was always surrounded by people, but also in many ways alone.
Aaaaaaand what this has to do with Hanna. She finds him easy to talk to, and liked him right away. All his openness is a little hard for her to understand, but she likes it about him too. She just doesn't relate to it very well sometimes. She was surprised to learn he (*hopes I'm remembering this right*) thought of her like a sister or maybe it was a close friend. Either way, she was surprised because even though she thought of him as a friend she didn't feel as close at the time, but it made her want to be closer to him. She found it very touching.
Mmm, and then there was the actual touching. She hadn't thought about Hanna romantically. Really, with all the romantic fallout in her life over both Suzaku and Ken, she hasn't really *thought* of anyone romantically although she does have deep connections and sparks with some people. Hanna hasn't been one of those, but she does trust him and like him. And now she thinks maybe he likes her. She isn't sure what she should do. She doesn't want to disappoint him. She wouldn't want to reject him. She is a little unsure about the things they did together. She knows she was pushing it on him, but she did that with many people and for the most part they stopped her advances rather than enjoying them. It hurts the trust a little, but not too much. She saw him trying to stop it at times and she knows it didn't go too far because of him. Really, the kissing she doesn't mind. It might still be a little awkward because of everything though.
It may also be possible that she'll start seeing him in a less platonic way. Whether that develops into more it's hard to say at this point. It may just mean she's more aware of things around him.
:D It's okay, it's just cool that you saw it. D: I was afraid it'd get blanked or LJ would muck about yet.
He's very awkward, which I really like. It makes his relationships with people in the City much more interesting...
:) I like your headcanon. It makes sense with the information you got from the official canon too. Which is awesome.
D: I don't blame her for being confused, honestly. Her relationships are rocky at best.
Right now, Hanna knows he's got a bit of a crush. But he also knows that Euphie's been through a lot, he's violated her trust, and that even before that, she only really liked him as a friend. So for now, I Think he'll back off, try to go back to platonic, and maybe talk to her about it later. Since Caspian told him to. :3
Because she's more aware, he'll just be more careful about what he says or expresses around her in regards to said crush. :) If she did see him in a not-so platonic way, that would rock. But hey, if she doesn't, he's just glad she's still his friend. Hanna values his friends very much.
Also totally unrelated, but Tessa, the author/artist for 'HiNABN', made a facebook page for Hanna, and it had his birthday on it. So I know now! :D
Also, my post or yours for their dinner? We could get it started? Not sure if you'd want to backdate to Friday or put it on Saturday with a curse going on. I wasn't sure what thought you'd give Hanna if any.
:D Action is actually a bit better for me...'s easier for me to remember to respond to it, so. I'll go get that up! :D I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.

When is his birthday?
Also, my post or yours for their dinner? We could get it started? Not sure if you'd want to backdate to Friday or put it on Saturday with a curse going on. I wasn't sure what thought you'd give Hanna if any.

I offered up some of his, but I haven't found a thought that REEALLLY stuck to me...I can post it tomorrow morning, if you want?
