one interesting thing about Siffrin's characterization is that they, like most people, do not enjoy being condescended, or experiencing what they perceive as distrust in their abilities/condescension. For instance:
Isabeau is trying to give his friend some positive reinforcement after he did a task he knows they really hate (communicating.) Siffrin was uncomfortable with this. But Siffrin does not say they're uncomfortable, letting Isabeau understandably assume he's okay with this. Isabeau's a Defender, this is his job! This is how he expresses care! And if Siffrin seems fine with that he won't know to change that!
Odile in particular, they hate how she worries about them, interpreting it as mistrust. They don't want her cataloguing their every move, asking questions. (Shout-out to Omission on AO3 for addressing this in particular.)
But Mirabelle...
If this were either Isabeau or Odile they probably wouldn't have liked it but he's not only chill with it, he praises her for it.
There's a larger conversation to be had about how Siffrin idealizes Mirabelle but it's also interesting in terms of party dynamics and how Siffrin sees Mirabelle as not just the leader but in particular his leader. He respects her!! he loves her!! he thinks she's brave and cool!! and almost all the times he changes the script is to make her happy!! It's fine if Mirabelle does something like this because she's not just his friend, she's his leader!!
tbh once feelings buddies happens this might need to be mitigated. putting Mirabelle on a pedestal will only hurt her and Siffrin should be able to be annoyed with his friends when they do something that makes him uncomfortable.
