I love Elan in a "best buddies", non-sexual way, not that there is nothing wrong with the alternative...
Also, it's good to see Amun-Zora again. Her reaction reminds me a bit of what happened during the first fight between the OotS and the Linear Guild (when Roy was fighting Thog, and Elan Nale, and Nale decided to switch opponents... Not a very good idea, as then Roy was able to unleash his repressed anger towards Elan on a target he actually could attack).
