> i’m still emotional about the stupid bit from GtN where harrow leaves gideon some bread in drawer for when she wakes up after the avulsion lab, because like. harrow gets overwhelmed by tea and biscuits, the idea of eating for pleasure is entirely alien to her, but she understands it’s something gideon might appreciate so she makes her best effort, she’s really trying to understand her

> we see it from gideon’s perspective as another baffling harrow moment, but from harrow’s perspective, what a touching gesture? when harrow asks gideon what she has to do to earn her trust and gideon asks to get some sleep, she clearly takes to heart that she’d not been conscious of gideon’s needs

> when gideon is recovering, harrow, believing her house is at stake, can’t afford to waste time waiting for her, but nonetheless before leaving takes the time to make an attempt to make gideon feel cared for, even though she doesn’t really know how. just like the sword in HtN, harrow has no idea how to properly take care of gideon or express her love but she tries in her own little autistic bone gremlin way and i think it’s really sweet
