>for some reason
supporting your best friend's kingly ambitions as his most loyal vassal and confidante is a classic romance format
>being the only one he shows any weakness to
>cleaning his wounds after he spent an hour giving a victory speech bleeding out a hole in his back
>seeing the way he stares into the fire after a Pyrrhic victory
>getting wounded and captured in battle yourself and having your heart catch in your throat as you see the pure pitch hatred in his eyes as he leads his warband to slaughter the enemy camp until they find you, and seeing the soul come back into his eyes when he confirms that you're safe and haven't been tortured or raped
that he happens to be a four foot tall red lizard is really neither here nor there
