you know what though?? i have to respect that he’s willing to get stabbed about it!
edit: NO OK I AM THINKING if leon actually lets us stab him as a like token of his devotion?? that would be pretty sexy of him guys i would have to get back on the leon is cool train if he did that
It’s fine, he basically offered up for us to penetrate him and relieve our pent up stress and emotions. And when we’re done we’ll leave a hole in his heart, really poetic.
I mean, being ready to die so the Mage could have their revenge shows that Leon fully understands the scale of his fucky-wucky lil mistake, and that’s a start, we can go somewhere from here.
YOU GET IT i think devotion as violence is a motif that shows up a lot throughout the mage’s story. LEON being the one to reverse that and say “alive or dead take me however you will have me” could really pop off. its “all that matters is that want to hurt me. all that matters is that you want me.”
You know guys, maybe I could even forgive him? And if there’s possible a version where MC become the ruler of Arcadia, they could even be allies. (This would probably be the most positive ending for my mc- get rid of Tahlia - prevent war with Param - sign some treaty - rebuild Arcadia - have friendly relations with Param).
But that’s all Leomar can get from me. There is no question of any close, personal relationship again. At worst - kill everyone and destroy Param (I’m going to try it anyway because I like gruesome endings.)
If you really wanted to hurt him, act like he doesn’t exist, I just went through the code again and his thoughts show how the silence left by the loss of the mage is the worst, he’d even take dying by their hand over it, the worst you could do to him is to act like he just doesn’t exist, or act like you don’t know him.
ok i am so sorry for the double reply but i have been thinking about this wording all day. leon was a bit of a silly goose during saintess-gate! it was a goofball moment!
Here’s a conspiracy theory, what if Ante is in fact not an idiot but actively in on the kidnapping children conspiracy? That would explain why Leon knows so little about what’s going on in his own land (the person who’s supposed to be telling him is hiding information) and also why Ante was so dead set on getting rid of MC (she’s racist).
Might be nothing, but I thought about it in the shower and it seemed interesting.
