i headcanon that kinn and ria also had a Sparring Scene but it was way more romantic because it was kinn teaching ria how to defend herself if she's unarmed out of genuine concern for her safety and then they realize they're starting to have feelings for each other....and lann heard this story, thought "well it worked for dad" and completely fucking fumbled it.
#because his intentions were different and also he's a disaster#ria neath#lann the mongrel#kinn neath#i love the sparring scene so much it's so funny once you think about the mental gymnastics lann had to do to think it was a good idea#because he didn't just invite the commander to spar with him. nooo. he beat up all the recruits in drezen first.#to like. prove himself worthy or something.#as if he hasn't killed at least 100 people and several demons at this point#he's such a neurotic mess i love him so much π#this is like. all me extrapolating off of subtext btw. my favorite thing about him. he's subtext boy. i love it.#honestly owlcat does subtext really well in general. all the characters have things that are really interesting about them but are not#explicitly said which is awesome. because some of them DO then explain what their problem was but it's at the end of their#arc so it feels like you're being rewarded for paying attention instead of them explaining their character to you.
