“Madeleine is dating both Espresso and Butter Roll, however Espresso and Butter Roll are not dating each other. At the beginning, Madeleine felt very guilty about having feelings for both and it took some time for him to decide how to elaborate his feelings. Espresso was a bit uncertain at the start of everything. Although he had no ill feelings towards Butter Roll, he was concerned that his feelings weren't either clear or enough for the paladin. Butter Roll was deeply enamoured with Madeleine from the get go. He understood early on that trying to separate Espresso and Madeleine would have only hurt Madeleine, so he was comfortable with the idea of "sharing" from the very beginning.
They've had to talk a lot of things through but eventually the three do find a balance and grow comfortable and happy together.”
On the left there are the same headshots of Espresso and Madeleine, still with the heart between them. There are some other small doodles scattered around of the two cuddling.
Text on the right reads:
“Espresso ❤️ Madeleine
or, Espresseleine | romantic relationship”
“Madeleine and Espresso fell in love gradually. A slowburn that warmed their lives the more it went on, when the both of them realised how much they meant to one other, their hearts had already been stitched together by fate while their stubborness and curiosity moved the needle in tandem.
Their love solidified itself through trust and mutual understanding. They wouldn't change a thing about each other, nor their relationship.
Their love is incredibly sweet, warm and caring.
Perhaps it surprises folks who assume they spend all their time bikering but the fact that they can discuss things without ever dubting the love they share is the sign of how strong their bond is.
They're sickengly sweet to one other but nobody seems to notice that since they're very reserved about their private life. They probably prefer it that way.”
On the left there is a small doodle of Madeleine sleeping over Espresso’s chest while the other holds him tenderly.
Text reads:
“ Espresso knows how much
Madeleine needs to rest and recover in a way that allows him to drop down the weight of his role as a Knight Commander and he's happy to provide. He often uses levitation to make himself taller than him for that reason. Madeleine knows how much Espresso caters to him and makes sure to give back as much as he receives but he always ends up exaggerating and showering Espresso with incredible amounts of love and affections.”
In the middle there is a small doodle of Madeleine holding Espresso up while he is levitating. The two are smiling happily.
Text in comic balloons reads:
Espresso: Of course I love you…isn’t that clear enough?
Madeleine: Yes, yes it is! Everyday you find a way to engrave yourself even more in my heart.

“Not love but curiosity and intrigue at first sight:
Butter Roll was immediately drawn to Madeleine but wouldn't understand the extent of his feelings until later on.
There was always this sort of underlying sense of similarity that eased becoming closer, even when they should have kept distance. It felt magnetic in a sense: Madeleine is far too interesting for Butter Roll to not come closer and bother and Butter Roll is too charming for Madeleine to ignore and brush off.
All that it took was to laugh together once for any and all doubt to fade away. They bonded instantly and became inseparable afterwards.
It's not that they have to be together, they simply enjoy to. It feels natural.”
Beneath the text there is a small doodle of the two holding hands and cuddling.
Text reads:
“In spite of their physical strength and sturdy built, they're both extremely gentle and soft to one other.After all Madeleine needs to be handled with care! Or at least Butter Roll says so. Madeleine disagrees but secretly enjoys the softness.”
Next to this, in the middle, there is a small doodle of the two kissing. Butter Roll holds Madeleine’s cheek tenderly.
Text in comic balloons reads:
Butter Roll: Do you ever consider how things had to align so peculiarly for us to meet and be like this now?
Madeleine: Well, the thread of fate may move in odd ways but I’m glad to be here, now, with you.
Butter Roll: Always so poetic- are you sure you don’t have any honey in your dough?
Madeleine: And you’re always a charmer, aren’t you?
Butter Roll: Guilty as charged ~

“Espresso & Butter Roll
Platonic/Friendship”
“It was a new experience for the both of them that they would have never thought they'd go through.
Butter Roll had to handle some jealousy because seeing how close those two are, it was inevitable to second guess things at first. Meanwhile Espresso felt guilty of not being able to develop feelings towards the other scientist ("Wouldn't that make things easier for him, especially? If I liked you as well? But I just…don't feel that way, I'm sorry.") because while it's not the same feelings he has for Madeleine, Butter Roll wouldn't have minded to being closer to Espresso. Of course, Butter Roll understands and respects the other's feelings. It takes some time to feel comfortable and navigate the feelings but they eventually work things out together. The bond they share afterwards is extremely caring and strong with both trusting immensely one other. The times when they have to wait for Madeleine to get back home from missions are those when they're both glad to have eachother.”
Beneath, the headshots of Espresso and Butter Roll with in the middle their hands giving an handshake.
On the bottom left there is a small doodle of the two laughing together. Text reads:
“They have similar work ethics but are very different otherwise, so when they shared their first laugh it felt like a bridge had finally been crossed. Since he's moved to the Vanilla Kingdom, Butter Roll has had Espresso exclaim "What is wrong with you?!" so, so many times. Butter Roll does not mind and actually finds it quite funny.”
On the bottom right there is a small doodle of the two looking to a (unpictured) airship taking off as they’ve accompanied Madeleine there before he left for a mission. They both look quite sad.
Text reads:
Butter Roll: It is always this…quiet when he leaves?
Espresso: Yes…it never really gets easier, I’m sorry
Butter Roll: …
Butter Roll: I miss him already
Espresso: I do as well
