Tigers Sniff the Rose Episode 3

“I need her to get to the capital.” Right. And the feelings are just travel expenses?

🐯 A lot of this episode revolves around people searching for her while he’s actively keeping her hidden. Last episode I was questioning the search party’s competence. This time, at least someone is deliberately making their job difficult 😂🐯 When he’s challenged about it, he admits he doesn’t want to let her go. Yes, he wants her help getting to the capital, but I’m starting to think there are feelings creeping into this very practical arrangement. You can have ambitions AND fancy her. Just saying.🐯 He’s my favourite this episode. Between looking after her injuries, hiding her and admitting he wants her to stay, he’s becoming much more interesting to watch. I’m curious about how much he understands his own attachment yet.🐯 My favourite scene was her making him help her bathe. His attempts not to look made the whole thing hilarious. This man is trying to preserve his composure, and she is making that unnecessarily difficult 😭🐯 The mood shifts when he notices the old wounds on her arms while treating her. That was my OMG moment. We’re starting to see that there’s a painful history beneath the temper and the guarded behaviour.🐯 I still can’t completely figure her out, but her conversation with the maid helps. She calls herself a coward for hiding instead of going back, and we see that a man previously tortured her. After that, her reluctance to return feels much more understandable. I don’t think she’s giving herself enough credit for what she’s survived.🐯 Another 8/10. The search takes up a fair amount of the episode, but the awkward bath scene, his growing attachment and the glimpses of her past kept me invested. I came for the flustered romance and ended up wanting someone to give this woman a safe place to breathe.
