So Larsa was tapping dat Penelo

[Nikkolas]

Now, putting aside the fact I think they're lovely together, I still think thre was some definite sparkage there. I'm not sure if the writers intended it or not but just look at this scene. (skip to about 2:45)

I mean, Larsa is always extremely sweet to Penelo and this is just one more scene where he demonstrates this. However what I love about this scene is Vaan in the background.

You have Larsa, acting his usual suave self, strolling over and presenting Penelo with a beautiful gift. She in turn is flustered and thanks him.

And Vaan? He kinda fidgets and rubs at his nose. Body language is a delicate art but I'll take a stab at what he's thinking.

"I'm being outmaneuvered by a 12-year-old..."

And of course Penelo is thinking "that's because you're an idiot Vaan."

And Larsa is thinking "Indubitably".

So, what do you all think of the love between our young Emperor and the sweet peasant girl? I just think Penelo can do better than...whatever Vaan is. He's some less evolved species of human I think.

I always thought it was just the tension between poor and royalty, Larsa was always trying to be as nice, polite and genuine as possible to show that class didn't matter to him and Penelo was nice too but always felt a bit uncomfortable.

I don't think there was anything romantic between the two of them whatsoever, but Vahn had that typical male response of "Don't get too friendly with my girl".

Well I don't like Larsa very much. Honestly, I don't picture Penelo with either of them. Vaan and Penelo are good brother/sister type thing. That's just me though.

supposedly Penelo and Vaan became an item in the sequel so it was more than brother and sister stuff.

shrugs.

I always thought of Larsa as being soft.Evidently his brother felt the same and that he wasn't a threat so he was allowed to live.
