technically he fell in love only after meeting her at the tavern when he woke up. It was just friendship as Winter the dog.
but didnt his guardian tease him about his "first love" while he was a dog?
I mean didnt adults joke about that to youngsters. plus, by dragon years, Aiden was just a kid too. He didnt start having romantic feelings nor did he admit it was his first love when she was a kid. He only started blushing etc after he met her again. I would see this as a childhood friend turned crush scenario. Its just weird cos we have to think in terms of dragon age
is anyone else creeped out the dragon fell in love with a kid
like i know dragon was also underraged technically but it's so creepy still...
