mikogalateaAs of near the start of Chapter 6, DOROTHEA GET! \o/ My Byleth got a bit more Charm with his last few level-ups, so I ground out the few more points I needed with perfect teatimes (including with Dorothea herself), gave her some owl feathers, and profit. Now to start training up her faith levels and get her some supports with people...
Speaking of supports, have a mini support report! This time it's really mostly an excuse for me to talk about Hapi/Linhardt.

Ignatz/Cyril C isn't great. Cyril can be such a brat sometimes, even if Iggy was being pretty nosy...
Hilda/Lorenz C+ keeps up the amusement from their first C. Her buttering-up works like a charm on him and he's so eager to have good things said about him to her brother. I've since taken more of a shine to some other Lorenz ships, but this one's still worth a chuckle.
Claude/Lorenz B is about matters in the Alliance more than anything else. Kind of interesting lore-wise, but there's still no chemistry of any kind between these two, and I don't know if that's likely to change with their A-rank and/or later story dialogue.
Claude/Balthus B is good! Not shippy, but good all the same! We get plenty of lore/backstory on Balthus's parents, plus it's confirmed he does know about Claude's true origins! He's still got a torch for Claude's mum, too. ^^;
I can't believe I forgot to mention this before, but the DLC supports in general have mostly been of very high quality and I've enjoyed them a lot so far.
Now for what I really wanted to write about -- Hapi/Linhardt B. It feels like a much-better version of Linny/Lysithea B in some ways, particularly in how he brings up research he's done that's relevant to the girl's situation. Thankfully he's not a dick to Hapi, and about the worst thing he's guilty of here is maybe speaking too much of his train of thought out loud; at least there's no "oh, but I wouldn't want to have that fixed if I were you!" like in the Lysithea support. The end of this B-rank's rather sad, actually; poor Hapi seems to get a bit of hope up (as much as a cynic like her can get her hopes up) that Linny can cure her monster-summoning problem, only to be disappointed when he says he can't and grow increasingly ticked off when he rambles on about how much information he's missing.
I really want their A-rank and paired ending now. I know Linny is capable of helping her and Hapi deserves to have that hope granted to her. I love her so much and she's been through so much and I want her to be happy. ;.; (And on the subject of Hapi feels, she has some really sweet monastery dialogue in this chapter. As a former kidnapping victim herself, she's quite empathetic to Flayn's current situation.)

I know I've mostly been talking about support conversations lately whenever I post about my Three Houses playthroughs, but this route's getting some very good and interesting unique cutscenes and I'm looking forward to seeing what different things get revealed or elaborated on.

And Balthus's torch for Claude's mom is hilarious. He'd be the guy in a modern setting who just happened to walk home with a kid so he could get an eyeful of the kid's hot mom.
Hapi/Linhardt is incredibly well-done, it shows that Linhardt can be sensitive about other people's problems even if he finds them interesting from a research standpoint.
