The same, essentially! Though the heart game helped. She realized Battler is similar to her in some ways. Maybe not in how they handle things—she can tell from being in the boiler room that he is a much lower level individual by default—but since he's stubborn and keeps going anyway, it really is something. But the difference is that she can tell he doesn't give up at the heart of it all, which ... well, Fang does. So a large part of her admires him a lot after all of that! Something he said in their first game together about it being why she's a knight has stuck with her the entire time she's been in Aather, and honestly, it's why she didn't throw in the towel right away. BEYOND THAT, she is generally fond of him and does genuinely want to get to know him a lot better than she does, especially since there's a part of him that he was afraid she'd judge him for. There's a part of her that's like that (actually, she's convinced it's all of her, even if that isn't true in the least but Fang focuses on the negatives), so yeah.
MORE THAN ANYTHING his own weird LET'S SHOUNEN FORTH mindset is really good for her to identify as someone she wants to be around and his opinion matters a lot.
OH RIGHT A QUESTION. Can I know how the Raven/Battler/Beato thing happened? I missed it!
