while i don’t believe her interactions with blade are canonically romantic, her dialogue and actions show a care, respect, appreciation, admiration for and interest in blade that could easily be explored in a romantic context. for instance something i think about a lot is the incorporation of touch with her whisper in her companion mission bc there’s nothing inherently romantic about feeling comforted by another person’s touch/presence and them being willing and wanting to give that affection. it’s a meaningful and clear show of trust, intimacy and affection that indicates a relationship deeper than workplace acquaintances and it could be interpreted and expanded upon as romantic if that’s an approach that you as an individual find compelling. like it’s canon that she finds blade’s appearance and abilities appealing but it’s up to you to decide if you want to interpret that as a friendly “fuck it up bestie!!” or “she wants that cookie so effing bad”. i hope that makes sense 😭
