For cute things, I think of machine Angela sitting up at night just to watch Roland's sleeping face and listen to him in the night. She likes playing with his hair or reading knowing he's nearby.
On a more angsty side, Angela reading through Book of Purple Tear before everyone got released from the Library and coming to know that Iori was Roland's Gran and what she did to his parents and now having to live with contemplating this fact and deciding whether she'll tell him or not.

Bari is like the cat owner who continuously messes with her pet's paws even though it nips her for doing so over and over.

It's Everything, absolutely.
Even if no one else expects Sinclair to smoke, Ryoshu doesn't question it. Just keeps on smoking and offers him one whenever he seems his most bedraggled. And he gratefully takes it every time.

I think by technicality Don has the greater stamina, because he's a Bloodfiend and so can regenerate himself pretty quickly. But he's not really used to Exertion and using up a lot of his energy since he can have his Kindreds and Bloodbags take care of things for him. So even if Bari is more likely to tire before him purely because of human biology besides whatever magic or whacky augments she has, he would still find elongated activity taxing.

Bari is apparently more than capable of doing full on lethal combat for at least 3 days solid without rest so yeah I think she'd more than strong and willing enough to spend her period lounging about and having an ancient and powerful vampire with his face buried between her thighs eating her out like a full stars meal.

Been thinking about Angela wanting to cook for Roland a lot lately. Wanting to give him something concrete and choosing her form of caring for him since it's something he would willingly teach her because she wanted to learn.

Mood

I wouldn't use that exact wording for the scenario it implies but otherwise yeah I think Ishmael should stuff his stocking.

Throw Heathcliff in there and I'm sold.

He's got the energy of a creature that triggers cuteness aggression in larger predators. Only it's more of a gap moe kind of cuteness. He makes people want to treat him like a chew toy.

Absolutely a dog man. This cannot be avoided. He's literally called out as being a lapdog.

And you Know once she found that out Bari started leaving her stuff in his castle on purpose and he hoards it to bury his face in when no one is around.

If you want an "everything's good" middle ground I think you could go with them never having knocked down the castle and he's just out gallivanting with her and having those hybrid little creatures. (Which also wouldn't be wholly mythologically inaccurate since some versions of The Tale of Princess Bari" has the heroine having several children with a supernatural being.)

All 100% correct and it is VITAL to all of it that he be naked. With dog ears. His "treats" is being allowed to eat her out.
But then you can play with it and uno reverse by having him call her a "good girl" in her ear while he's got her bent over even while she's yanking on his leash.
