I just realized only like a week has passed in game time... We've been playing this RP for YEARS! O.o That is a hard thing to imagine. Incredible too. This is quite the epic project we have created here!
EDIT: Also you've forced my hand @Mokley! I now call in force the Power of Love trope!
Haha! Surprise! I've had plenty of RPs I've DMed that have had NPCs that suddenly became more than expected. I had to be quicker on my feet with them though due to them being D&D games in my basement at least here you get some time to think about it. You get heroes from the smallest of beginnings. :D
I think Anise had been developing feelings for him for a while. It just made sense. By the way... this is the first character I've ever made that has fallen for an NPC on this site! There's a milestone for you.
I am seriously going to be sad when we wrap this up, even so I can't wait to see how this turns out!
