To say that he felt jealous was an understatement. Back then, when you were just a regular traveler in Fontaine, Lyney had your undivided attention but now? Now everyone wants to chat with the heroic traveler.
He hates it. Lyney wants to be by your side like before, he wants to take a stroll without being stopped by reporters or fans.
When things were tense due to his identity as a Fatui being discovered Lyney thought he lost you forever so now that you were surrounded by people he feared the same fate.
Lyney knows he has to win your heart but how? Contrary to what many believe he lacks the bravery to confess his love for you and while he flirts openly it's different when done seriously.
That's when an idea courses through his mind. What if he tests the water by sending anonymous love letters and see how you react?
The next time you were in Fontaine, you could not stop talking about the letters– about how the person seemed to pour their heart into each paragraph and how it touched your heart.
“Oh, really?” Lyney smirks playfully, feeling relieved that his plan is working. “I think you should meet this anonymous sender of yours.”
