#Liam and Taliesin are going to spend the rest of this three-episode run flirting in various permutations

[centaurianthropology]

Also, rewatching I am wondering about the various PC relationships with Decklan. Like, Malcolm seems very friendly and dedicated to seeing him right from the jump. That could be because he's a friend, could be because their lightkeeper is asking and he trusts her implicitly, could be a little of both, but it's clear that he has warm and probably straightforward feelings about Decklan. Grimoria is a little more hesitant because of her job, but is also dedicated, and seems very warm toward him.

And then there's Leo and Edgar, both of whom are a little cooler. Now, Edgar is always cool toward almost everyone, but is warmer toward his circle-mates, so it makes me wonder if they either parted on not fantastic terms, or that Edgar maybe views Decklan leaving their circle as something like a betrayal. Not sure, since Edgar plays his emotional cards so close to the chest. We'll hopefully see more now that Decklan is back with them.

And then there's Leo, who seems to guess that they're going after Decklan before anyone else does, even before their lightkeeper says it. And his response?

"No. No, no, no." Leo does NOT want to see Decklan, but ends up agreeing because Decklan is 'family' and you do what you have to for family. But he's not eager to see him the way that Malcolm seems to be. And given Leo's focus on this found family above all else, I can almost be certain that he viewed Decklan's reassignment as a betrayal. But at the same time, on the island, as soon as he realizes that the Murphy ladies are bad news, and readily murdered their mother (or were changelings or something else and were killing off the Murphy family), he is focused on finding and rescuing Decklan. When he chased down Nora, that was his focus, just demanding over and over after he caught up with her that she tell him where Decklan was. So I do think that, while he feels anger or resentment or whatever he feels about Decklan leaving, there is still a lot of affection there as well.

I guess what I'm saying is: I think that Leo and Decklan might be exes.
