okay well first off you continuously give me some of the funniest fucking threads and i love you for that, like lup shocking hansa after the mini event or their conversation about fantasy star trek had me giggling for like hours, wtf

but like - lup LIKES hansa. we joked about this (and gestures at psl) but they have that easy sort of back and forth joking that really easily turns into flirting thing. they both have a weird flippant sort of humor, and i think if lup hadn't immediately been taken up by blanca she would've been reluctant to let hansa out of her sight. she thinks he's a good person, and she thinks that maybe he is the type of dude that sets himself up to get knocked down a lot. but she admires the fact that he doesn't really seem to have a problem with being open and free with people. like, he's pretty honest in a way she typically isn't, if only because she doesn't trust other people to not fuck her over.

hansa is one of the first people she told about her home world! she was already in the process of forgetting pieces of it when they did the whole VR thing, but it was a relief for her to be able to just sit down and tell him everything she remembered about it. she trusted him enough to let her memories have a home in him, so to speak.

she also really was relieved to not be the only person who knew about soo-won's first murder, too. between him and blanca she felt less alone in it. in fact, i'm looking back at these threads and kind of laughing about how much she trusted him with random shit she didn't trust other people with. like, her home on the Starblaster but also the fact that the Wolves got a prize the first week and like, basically all but telling him her team right then.

so like - idk how much you're familiar with the adventure zone but liches in the adventure zone are extremely memory based? basically the process to become a lich can make you go feral, and the best way to not lose your entire mind is to have very strong, very positive memories to keep yourself stable.

SO AFTER THE ADVENTURE with the kraken and the swamp, like - she had a similar moment with xie lian in that sometimes, she just needs something absolutely fucking stupid to pull her out of a slump and give her the strength to keep going. she needed that memory. she was flagging just a little by that point. but the whole accidentally shocking him and the jar of dirt thing cracked her up so much that she had that memory to pull up when she felt unstable - like, among others, but definitely the experience of bonding and laughing with hansa over that was something that stuck with her.

and then his cyoa came, and boy, did she empathize with him then. like - ten years. being tucked away somewhere for ten years, going through emotional stress? yeah, that was her whole experience in the umbrella she was stuck in. so like, he tells her about this and she just immediately connects, and feels so horribly awful for him. she gets a little touchier here, a little less guarded, because his experience put her so feet first into being trapped that she just reverted to doing what made her feel better. and then on TOP of that, emet gets voted for, and so she just immediately kicked in hansa's door and was like look, whatever you need. you don't need to talk about shit (because she would hate to have people badger her) but she's HERE, if he needs someone who is a little distanced from everything.

then he scared her at emet's execution and she about threw herself off the cliff WITH emet. stupid dumb eyepatch priest making her show all of her squishy emotions in public >8T

actually cutting in here in the middle of this and LAUGHING ABOUT LIKE how much hansa ships blanca and lup, it's really cute. i think this thread just about sums up how much she trusted him at this point, like she's just incredibly candid about everything. she frames it in a jokey way, but she wasn't about to let hansa walk out of that conversation without him knowing how much she actually worried that he was going to die. him offering to get a drink with her after she mentioned breaking up with blanca was really sweet, and she held onto that, too.

i think lup thinks of hansa as like... someone reliable. she felt good knowing that he was there to look out for the people she couldn't reach out to as much. she liked knowing that he was there for emet-selch, for alex, for chiron - for blanca, too, at times. and she rooted for him every time he needed it, whether she told him or not - just like. he's a good, solid friend, and someone she cares for. i can only imagine the chaos they caused in previous cycles. god.
