They’re kinda cute… what do you think? Romance or marriage of convenience?
Very much agreeing with this!

I wonder if it might have been convenience to start with but definitely evolving. Could well be romantic though they seem the type to keep that to themselves but you definitely get a solid PARTNERSHIP vibe from them. Well, I do ☺️💕

All of this!!!!! I'm so interested to find out that Mansa *rejected* the position. That leads to so many questions!

Etty doesn’t strike me as someone who would causally get married out of social convention, like whatever benefits marriage offers, she still had to care A LOT about Thomas to make that leap of devotion.

Somewhere in between. Friends who got married because they needed to but actually care about each other?

Same. I also see them as platonic soul mates.

I totally forgot about that fact 😭 Song is probably the only one Mansa can see spending the rest of his life with.

Marriage of convenience. But I do see them as platonic soul mates 🥰 I think that would be super sweet.
So Mansa rejected the position. That’s interesting. The poor boy probably didn’t see a point in taking a position without Song around :(.

i feel like it's both. i tend to see their relationship as a QPR, and those can sometimes have romantic elements to them as well, depending on the dynamic of those involved 😊 so i see their relationship being somewhat nebulous and maybe undefined, but very deep and connected. it's also not uncommon for QPRs to turn into marriages or being life partners!

Convenience that turned into romance, and I love that for them

Or because High Councillors are supposed to be married, and he'd just had his heart broken by Song's disappearance?

I think they care about each other deeply and have for a very long time ❤️❤️

I’m shipping these two so hard I’ll say both.

And Mansa!! Rejecting the High Councillor position!! Was his promotion at the time of the Proposal going to be to the High Councillor position? If so, did he reject it because he was so emotionally devastated he didn’t think he could do a good job, or because he was now associated with an infernal criminal and was afraid of what that association might do to his ambitions of work for helping the infernal community? Or both? Or some other reason? And if it was a different position he was offered at The Proposal, why did he reject the High Councillor position later? ….or will all this be discussed in future panels and I need to cool my over-excited heels? 😅❤️

Both. The marriage might be for convenience but they have feelings for each other

Ahhhhhhhh you nonchalant goblin ❤️ that innocent “Romance or marriage of convenience?” while lobbing that “Osei rejected the high councilor position” bomb in the background! 😂 I’m with mizz_uzie, I think it maybe started as perhaps a marriage of convenience to a dear friend for Etty, although maybe more of a romance for Thomas? Regardless, I bet Thomas was in the same position as Mansa when he got promoted, needed to find a spouse fast and Etty is the only one he can trust with his magic situation, and without Song Etty didn’t have the same access to high level circles that she’d had (plus I bet marriage gives her some protection from being pulled back into the church). But that hand clasp shows so much tenderness now ❤️❤️❤️

Could be both. May have started out as a marriage of convenience, but then they grew more fond of each other over time.
