Shut up.

I don't think people livestream Nintendo 3DS without equipment and expensive/obnoxious jury rigging, so, screw that, even if I wanted to. I will update this post throughout playing on my commentary etc.

Jakob is Manservant #2 from earlier; he came in during the last battle and is sticking with his mistress.

Corrin starts to ask him for help, and he eloquently proclaims at great length how he would to anything for her, including slay dragons, charge into an enemy army, or "cook, clean, sew, smith, demolish, or bricklay anything you might require."

When she finally gets him to shut up, she says she just wants him to let her do stuff on her own -- she wants to be independent.

JAKOB: Independent?
JAKOB: ...
JAKOB: ...
JAKOB: ...Out of the question.

Corrin reminds him that she's supposed to be the boss in this relationship, and he informs her that she doesn't get to deny him his entire purpose in life. Back when he couldn't do anything right, she was the only one who was kind to him, so with all due respect, I'll do anything for you whether you like it or not, and screw your independence, milady.

CORRIN: Let's compromise.
CORRIN: Teach me how to make a pot of tea.

Cute.

JAKOB: Tea? Why?
CORRIN: I want to learn to help everyone, including you, Jakob.
CORRIN: I want to be able to make tea for the person who takes such good care of me.

Jakob is moved, because that was adorable, and tells her that he will permit this "act of wanton domesticity", but tea is dangerous, so she's only allowed to do it while he's around. He privately worries that she truly could make a pot of tea dangerous.

omfg. 5/5, good shipping potential, excellent cuteness factor

Corrin vows grimly to herself that this time she will make the perfect cup of tea for Jakob.

CORRIN: Don't look so worried -- I can make a pot of tea in my sleep!
JAKOB: So you have said, but... Forgive me for observing that you have not once managed it since our lessons began.
CORRIN: That'll be enough truth out of you, mister.

They continue being adorable as Jakob begs her to just let him make the tea and she digs her heels in and stubbornly insists that she will do it. When she finishes, he secretly slips in sugar so it isn't desperately bitter, and she's so delighted to have succeeded that she runs out to share it with everyone else.

What if he's unleashed a monster??

5/5, would support again

Corrin is so happy she learned how to make tea that Jakob is deeply remorseful about having to tell her that her tea was frankly undrinkable. He fixed it. :( HE'S SO SORRY.

Corrin just laughs. She knew he did that. He thought she might punish him, because... I'm not sure why, Jakob, have you met Corrin? She admits that she was too stubborn, and that she still needs his help, even when she doesn't want it. She asks if he'll stick with her, and he says that he always will, and also he's pretty useless without her around, so...

She observes that they're very much alike, and he literally faints with joy?

4/5, they're still painfully adorable but it's a little hard to reconcile this Jakob with the Jakob in everyone else's interactions, he's just too over the top with her?
