man this is going to be a lot i feel like

but delita... as a rule, delita does not tend to like people. even when he likes them, he tends to see them more as pawns or things like that than actual people, so to speak. like, even ramza, who is His Literal Best Childhood Friend is someone who he's willing to manipulate. he's not really fond of it, but he's willing to. and even ovelia, who i could write a fucking entire essay about delita's mixed up feelings towards the princess he marries - it's complicated but yeah he's using her.

he would probably use natalia too. but he'd feel bad. and, more importantly, he would look for a way to do it without doing so, and honestly she's probably one of the only, if not the only, person here that he'd immediately do that for. maybe yuri too, but outside of that --

he'd never admit this, but she is basically what he wants nobility to be. it's not quite a hero worship but an... he looks up to her in a way that he literally doesn't look up to anyone in canon except MAYBE balbanes, because fft is a shitty world and tales games tend to be significantly less shitty. yes, she's noble, but she doesn't think any higher of herself for it, and in fact seems to think that everyone's well being is her responsibility, which frankly just isn't really a thing in ivalice.

like, the fact that she puts other people's well being at a higher priority than her own. the score thing? A HUGE DEAL to him, even though he didn't express it that much, because that sort of blindly following something - just taking "your role" in life - is exactly the sort of thing that delita's fighting against, why he's proving that delita heiral, of common blood, can be a hero, can become king, can fix injustice. he knows how fucked up the church is in ivalice, and he has a very dim view of religion despite supposedly working for the church and being a holy knight - and to have the balls to not only go "yeah, you know that thing that literally defines everything about us? how about we, you know, ignore that is... uh, she gets a crazy amount of respect from him.

and he doesn't think she's the kind of person who would lie about that either. he has no reason to doubt her, because she's not... shady in the same way that, say, yuri is (sorry yuri).

he doesn't think of her as a friend just because he doesn't really have ... friends - he's sort of closed himself off. but if he were going to open up to anyone, it'd be natalia and it's not even close, and he would... uh, he'd be super fucking pissed if anyone tried to hurt her, because he genuinely feels that if more people were like her he wouldn't have had to go through the shit he did

so yeah he has some feelings about her

he's not sure what to quantify them as and it's strange but he definitely appreciates her more than he lets on
