This Is So True. In Fact As Hard As I Try To Make Hal The Closest To His Canon Behavior, We Can't Forget

This is so true. In fact as hard as I try to make Hal the closest to his canon behavior, we can't forget that we didn't see him completely falling in love and having a girlfriend in the game.

So obviously, you could think that maybe he is OOC, but no one knows the truth. (Maybe Christopher Randolph as an Actor and as his actual VA... But he also likes to imagine the situation as we all do)

REMINDER!!

Your F/O absolutely would fucking do that. You may think it's out-of-character, but it's not. Your F/O is completely yours to fuck with and manipulate however you want because they WILL buy you flowers. They WILL be clingy as all hell. and they DO love you so so so much.

We are so happy together, aren't we?

Have to do it.

Part of their dynamic in the Dragon's Dogma AU

"Can we play a little bit more before we go?

- Nah... I think we should keep this to ourselves...

I walked faster. He did it as well.

- I guess you're right. How about later, on our way?

- Journey is long enough. I assure you. We'll have plenty of time for that on the way."

term of endearment: I-I believe... I can find a pleasant rapport with thee, Arisen.

Culling Request (Changing this one, because as you realice, Hal is in love with Lina as NPC, so this is a deliver quest, available once you meet Lina)

start dialogue: So, hast thou met the inn's cook? Would thee mind delivering this to her for me, Arisen? (He will give you a letter and a moonglow. The letter says "My beloved, pray, let us meet to gaze upon the stars this eve, at our customary place.")

end dialogue: Thank thee, Arisen. Please, tell no one. But she is the one who possesses each of my dreams and my glances.

reward: Wakestone x1

Escort Request

destination: Near the Sacred Arbor, in the Malachite forest.

starting dialogue: After many attempts, I have succeeded in striking a deal with the elves. Would thou escort me there?

ending dialogue: Thank thee, Arisen. I am confident the outcome shall be favorable for me.

reward: Ferrystone x1

Because I'm an adult, I have one of those days where I just want to see Hal doing adult stuff to Lina.

So It's time to remind you about my two secrets one shot stories.
