Tbh I'm a bit attached to Reihas (the priest) because he's had the most screentime to date...

I think they didn't kiss, and although I agree that it was not alright for lloyd to feed her a sleeping pill without her permission, he only did that coz fl won't rest even after exhausting herself to close the rift. But I totally agree with you about Reihas, I like him to be the ml more than the merchant, if only Reihas is the ml in this story *sigh*

Looking back, I'm not sure if their lips touched or not, but he didn't have to feed her medicine(?) via mouth-to-mouth (no one actually does that, that's what funnels are for---). So regardless of the reason, given his actions thus far, he's just behaving like an opportunist and that's a major two thumbs down from me.

I'll have to let go of the series here, but I hope everyone else still reading enjoys their time.

Umm he did not fed her the medicine via mouth to mouth, I'm sorry I may seem like I'm antagonizing you but really I just want to give some clarity haha If you read the chapter again where he fed her the pill, you'll notice his thumb on her mounth. He fed her with his hands, he was just too close. I think he did that to also surprise the fl.

I understand you're not out to anragonize me but, I did look very closely the 2nd time and the images are vague. Visually, it doesn't look like he fed her with the thumb but rather he's opening her mouth with his thumb and sending something through via his mouth. That's how it appears to /me/. If you actually try to motion it through there's no way he's holding onto any kind of medicine with his hand while using his thumb to push it in, it isn't logical.
Whether or not the lips touched or didn't, doesn't change that he's uncomfortably close, and the premise of surprising her really isn't a valid one to me. It's just whimsical nonsense.

Thank you kindly for responding politely.
