Anonymous asked: do you think that during the scene where harry and corlath sit at the fountain he was like holy shit holy shit holy shit she's holding my hand holy shit and then later was like sheheldmyhandsheheldmyhandsheHELDmyHAND and one of the riders (probably mathin) was like im gonna tell this story at your wedding
Well, as we all know, the exact order of people who realized that Harry and Corlath were in love* was:
- The Riders
- The hafor
- Bystanders at the laprun trials
- Sungold
- Corlath, probably immediately after she took his mask at the trials
- Gonturan
- The City hafor
- Random City folk
- Various Damarian soldiers, including Senay and Terim at different times
- Luthe/Aerin
- Jack Dedham
- Random Outlanders following mad Harry into battle
- Kentarre and her archers
- Richard Crewe, probably because Jack tells him
- Small animals on the side of the path
- Passing birds
- Thurra probably????
- MAUR THE BLACK DRAGON, DEAD THESE MANY CENTURIES
- PEOPLE IN SUNSHINE, WHO AREN’T EVEN IN THE SAME UNIVERSE
- Harry
*Narknon is not included because, as it has no bearing on her life besides the improvement of her porridge quality, she maintains catlike, disdainful disinterest
So what I’m saying is: yes, yes he does. And at their wedding Mathin, in his capacity as Harry’s stand-in entire family, presents her as the Daughter of the Riders and tells the entire assembled city about how it took a fight, a mutiny, a war, a miracle, and a near-death experience for Harry to see what was right in front of her nose, and in the meantime their noble king was blushing like a teenager after so much as touching her hand.
