As an Ignismancer I would say do what you gotta do. I think it’s been made fairly clear that though you can romance her it isn’t going to end well, especially now with the rewrite where you can tell that these two people do have an affinity for one another and there is always that risk that things can end at any moment when these two realize their feelings for one another.
If that is what you are worried about anyway lol. But maybe it’s my personal preference for making my MC’s suffer coming out.
