Nott and Beau Share Crush Secrets

[@ashb9743]

Nott's "Types" so far: - A small dorky and messy haired halfling - A larger dorky but angsty human - A sensually voiced and flirtatious blind human - An absurdly big and buff minotaur with the best name ever

Still waiting for that "work" you mentioned. Sam "master of the long con" Riegel...

[@AdamEspersona]

As funny as this was, I have to say that it's not going to end well if Nott goes behind her back and "does some work". She says "this isn't going to change anything between the three of us, right". Yet, she could end up doing so if she does. Seriously, I hope that she DOES NOT "do some work". if she does, she's breaking Beau's trust in her, and that is NOT easily gained. Plus, I can understand why Beau is acting this way: she's not sure if Jester thinks of her the same way she does; she's uncertain, thus she's quick to assume it's not worth pursuing. If anyone is going to "do some work", it needs to be Beau herself. No one else should be doing that. But it's up to her as to whether or not she even CAN.

[@AnimeWolf5193]

This is why people don't tell anyone about their crushes.

[@margaridabento9726]

Beau's "yes, of coooourrse" was so goddamned forced, I love her

[@starl1ghtw0lf]

Ngl I didn't see Beau's crush coming but I did notice Nott's, Sam's been dropping hints for a while now

[@starl1ghtw0lf]

Additionally: This definitely isn't purely a "used to" thing. Veth/Nott reacted quite strongly when she thought Beau had a crush on Caleb, even seeming a bit... Aggressive? But she immediately calmed down when she realized that wasn't the case. And with her reluctance to go back to her old life and certainly not wanting things to be exactly the way they were before, combined with her devotion to her husband and son... I have no idea how things will play out there. I do feel like she will prioritize the happiness of Caleb, Yeza and Luc(Luke?) over her own crush, so given that Caleb def doesn't seem interested and she is married with a child... It seems more likely from that standpoint that she will not, say, leave Yeza for Caleb. However that crush probably has and will make her rethink a lot of things. Not to mention that Sam is an agent of chaos.

[@starl1ghtw0lf]

But, then again, she does have some strong maternal feelings towards him, and that must make her incredibly conflicted and confused. She definitely, especially towards the beginning, really leaned into that maternal role. But things have slightly changed over the campaign, though her devotion to Caleb hasn't. She could continue to focus on "parenting" Caleb, or reevaluate their relationship. I don't know. I have no idea where this is going to go. I do think that, especially now the crush is out, she will be forced to rethink her relationship with Caleb.

[@DorcusT]

Sam confirmed in Talks Machina that Nott has had feelings for Caleb for a while and that he is physically attractive to her.

[@Incarnato009]

[@carlycchapman]

I noticed hints from the beginning tbh. It doesn't help that Liam and Sam have hella good "stage chemistry" for lack of a better word. You could also argue that Caleb is just better at hiding it than Nott, because no one has gotten him drunk enough to say something like that.
