She is a woman trying to survive in that time and be HAPPY! The lord she was serving was not giving her any sort of life. Just survival. Raymun just got KICKED OUT BASICALLY and IS ON THE EDGE OF HAVING NOTHING, but she loves him and WANTS to be with HIM because he is an honorable man who knows what to fight for and will treat her with such kindness and love. And he is obviously ENAMORED with her. I don’t think she is faking her love for him per se. I also think it’s incredibly dangerous if she said the child isn’t his. ALSO DOING THIS MEANS THE CHILD WONT BE SEEN AS A BASTARD AND WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT LIFE!! She found a good man… she didn’t even think they existed before Dunk and Raymun. Rowan ended the cycle she was born into. Just like Dunk did. “From one whore to another” Dunk gets it.

Also Raymun and Rowan genuinely look like they will have 7 kids minimum.

She found a good, honorable and respectful man.

He found an amazingly beautiful and incredibly smart woman.

Their interactions were few but very interesting nonetheless. I think they could have been good friends if Nora was allowed to stay on the World of Twelve.

The first time on screen that Joris sees Nora is when she and Yugo are warning the leaders about the necro invasion, they don't interact during the meetings but it is interesting to me that one of Joris' first interactions with her is him witnessing her slip up with the Bontan Queens. I do wonder what his first impressions of her were.

(It is implied here that they likely had an interaction discussing the meetings beforehand, and I do wish we'd gotten to see them introduced to each other)

Joris does often see Nora at her most vulnerable. He is present when she angers the Queen. He is there when she panicks in the necroworld, and when she argues with her mother. He witnesses Efrim possessing her, and he is the one to free her from her stone prison.

Joris is one of the few characters, alongside Amalia, who is not hostile towards Nora. He is respectful towards her for the most part, and they also often gravitate towards each other

(Even in the OVAs, he gravitates towards her dofus specically)
