[Leia blinks, watching Susato talk about Kazuma. Between the wistfulness in her voice, and watching her hair piece glow, reacting to her apparent feelings... it's hard to believe this is the guy that once said he avoided killing her because he didn't want to make a mess in his tavern. The same guy that told her if they had a rematch she wouldn't come out of it alive.
... The same guy who now also happens to be her boss.
Granted that hadn't exactly been Kazuma, it was Hyde that said all those things, but for someone that barely knew him, it'd been difficult to distinguish between the two. But she figured his Essence situation was more complicated than most others, though she didn't quite understand how. Still, she could see that he's a decent person, despite fighting him again a few months ago in that dreamscape. Perhaps most would call her naive for still communicating with the guy, but he's clearly haunted by something.
Plus Susato is really sweet, and seems really into him. If anything, she feels pretty vindicated for knowing that, deep down, he wasn't ruthless and cruel as his Essence would have her believe.
But back to the topic of Susato's feelings... she really seems to like him. Just the way she talks about him makes her wonder...]
Do you have feelings for him? Like, you know, a crush?
