    It also sounds as if Eugene pursued Sara, not the other way around.

    Hmmm...if we could see the courtship of V and Kyrie, it might clear up a few things.

    The two met in a bar when she asked if he wanted a good time. His response was a slightly bewildered "Who, me?" to which she responded, "Yeah, you'll do." Her afterlife self is roughly the same age as this... Whoring up the afterlife, indeed.

    I imagine it was "Hello. You are my mate now." Slight pause... "Yes. Verily". (either way would suffice).

    SoD says otherwise. (By the way, the Oracle is quite right about Roy's mom )

    Sara approached Eugene for what certainly looked like nothing more than a one-night stand. That doesn't conflict at all with the idea that he was the one who pursued her for something long-term.

    Roy and Celia seemed to be pursuing eachother pretty much equally. And he brought up the idea of a relationship with Miko first as well.

    Elan and Haley is a little murky. They've been flirting for 393 strips when that occurred. And if you want to get technical, Elan made the "first step" by kissing her.

    Nah. Haley has been in love with Elan pretty much from strip 1, but Elan was perfectly oblivious until the episode with Nale. The first time he showed any particular interest in Haley was here.

    Just because he didn't know doesn't mean we didn't know or that his subconcience didn't know earlier.

    loves pretty much the whole time as does love

    which is what i meant to say

    Elan likes Haley. But Elan likes everyone (even Belkar), and everyone likes Haley, so that doesn't really mean anything.

    He may be subconsciously in love with her - 367 seems to suggest a dawning realisation, rather than a sudden stroke - but really, he shows no sign of it, and to say he was "flirting" with her is just not justified by the evidence we have.

    I don't think Haley was in love with Elan yet when they were raiding Dorukan's dungeon, only physically attracted to his good looks and his 18 charisma.

    It's after they rescue the old dirt farmer and Elan telling Haley how proud he is for her doing such a noble deed that her feeling for him intensify.

    At the new years party in Azure City, her feelings have become true love indeed.

    Sara originally hit on Eugene. That doesn't mean she was the one who proposed.

    It was obvious to Vaarsuvius that Haley was attracted to Elan. And as for Vaarsuvius, V and Kyrie's relationship took years to develop.

    Please reread the OP. This is not the first who got on their knee and proposed a relationship; it is who initiated the relationship

    Which apparently is always the female.
