"Little Bird" is such a cringe pet name. It's not clever or cute. In fact it sounds kind of demeaning. Like the british slang "bird" which often sounds patronizing or sexist. He's basically calling her "little girl".
Also, every time the MMC does something nice, the FMC says "why are you being nice to me?"
Oh i dunno....maybe because he likes you dumbass?

Ah yes the classic trope of "let's literally risk people's lives because we're too horny to control ourselves". Yes, the obvious response to hiding in a closet together while guards are outside is to combine sex with the quiet game. The chance of getting caught and people killed makes it so much hotter. *sarcasm followed by an annoyed sigh*

Raven may be dumb but I do really love her compassion and honor even towards her enemies. She really does care about people

MMC: hey, you can't help your bother if you get caught doing this thing and executed.
FMC: but I wasn't caught was I?
Me: wow I said that exact same thing many times....in highschool....before I learned that actions have consequences. Raven why are you so dumb?
MMC: explains something very clearly
FMC: "I know what you mean but I don't understand unless you explain better
Me: Raven why are you so dumb?!

FMC: how do I make this man do what I want? How do I use him?
Me: seduce him with your body/personality
FMC: but if i do that I'll develop feelings
Me: what?! To hell with your feelings! You're here to save your brother and other people. Stop chirping "little bird" and just do it even if you have to "wing it".
