Jake and Lyse spend a lot of time sparring with each other, so they're well attuned to each other on the battlefield, knowing each other's rhythms and movements well enough to coordinate in a way that makes it hard for enemies to keep track of both of them at once.

What first drew Jake to Lyse was just the way that, when others saw him solely as the WoL she cared about him as a person. They were immediately comfortable being themselves around each other in a way they weren't with others.
Also, and he can't stress this enough, the eyes and the abs.
#Hextwind
Yeah... About that...

Part of Jake worries that Lyse will never understand how much she means to him. When they met, he and Minfilia clearly had the start of... something happening, and early on Lyse expressed worries that she was just what he was settling for because Minfilia wasn't an option. But the

The first one's pretty much just for physical resemblance.

I don't think they do anything else at this point. But you know what? Good for them.

Cute shots, coming up.

Jake and Lyse first got together shortly before boarding the ship to the Far East, so they were together for months before they had an actual date. They took the opportunity while they were trying to track Gosetsu and Yugiri to explore Kugane and experience the city together.

A lot later than he should have. Jake and Lyse were obvious to almost everyone but Jake and Lyse (and for some reason Alphinaud) for a while, but both kind of downplayed their feelings for each other. But after seeing how upset Lyse was after seeing the cruelty of

Sometimes she loses count and has to start over.

A view from over Jake's shoulder of Lyse, who is saying "Jake, you're... you're staring at them again."
Close up on Jake's face. His mouth hangs open and he has a blank expression on his face. Lyse continues: "I don't think you've even heard a word I said during this entire conversation. I get that they're nice. But there's more to me than just... those."
Lyse is smiling as she says, "I mean... hello? My boobs are down here. It's not just about the eyes."
Jake and Lyse sitting facing each other. Jake says "But they're so pretty though..."
She got the graphics update, but it did something to him too.

You know what? I never do these, and chances are the only people that would ask questions about Jake and Lyse already hear far more than they want to, but why not?
#Hextwind
Always happy to show off these two.

#Hextwind
- she pulls herself up by his horns to get to eye level
- act extra lovey-dovey when Alisaie's around because they know it bugs her
- morning workouts, meditation, etc. together
- he does things she'll find sexy when it'd be funniest to distract her (during meetings)
- intense eye contact

Height difference made this impossible to try and get exactly right, but I like the results anyway.

Jake and Lyse are a well-oiled machine in combat. They train and spar with each other nearly every morning so they're able to anticipate each other's moves, and their fighting styles are very similar. There's often so much motion going on that opponents don't know where to look.

Jake and Lyse is #Hextwind
Reydiah and Hilda is #Strayhound
Not an initial inspiration, but as time went on, I've definitely picked up on parallels.

Jake and Lyse are #Hextwind, which is just a mashup of their last names. I considered going with In Crimson for MSQ reasons but it never stuck.
Reydiah and Hilda are #Strayhound because I wanted something cat and dog themed that played off of a miqo being with the leader of the Hounds.
