Maybe because she didn't see him as a loved one but as a friend...perhaps because of Nina's knightly nature she would surely gave him the letter in person anyways but after that she would have started to question him about the girl and the city...
Nina's best(and worst) attribute that she always give her best to anything and no matter how hopeless the situation she won't step back. |

I don't think her doing her best is her worst attribute. So far that has inspired Layfon to start trying on both occasions. If anything I'd say that her worst attribute is her doing trying to do too many things by herself though with her team I can see why she does to some extent.

the most important development would be to her character when she became less independent and leans more to her teammates...
I think her do or die attitude is somewhat overly reckless...we could list the situations in her life when that attitude of hers caused almost her death. So it's her best and worst part of her character... Ok i listened to the duets(i have a tendency to skip op/ed's so i've to pay attention to it to actualy listen it) and have to say i can't chose beetween Nina's and Felli's(because even tough Felli's sound better hers a bit too tinkling...) and Leelin's absoultely lacks power. |

Well, I'm just glad that there's some people here who are also aware that the childhood friend is more often a good thing rather than a bad thing, in terms of canon probabilities.
Of course, it goes without saying I support NinaXHarley and LeerinXLayfon. NinaXHarley mainly because it's kinda amusing they gender-switched the stereotype... you've got the male this time who follows his childhood friend to the ends of the earth, supporting her all the way, rather than the other way around. LeerinXLayfon... they still keep in touch through letters, and Leerin is still in the forefront of Layfon's mind as exhibited in some of the episodes. Two thumbs up from me; the fire burns brightly still. ^_^ Granted, Felli is still up there... I blame Nakahara, who is my #1 seiyuu, and she did wonderful as a Ruri clone. Definitely a step up from her Aono of Sola, and like Takako of Otoboku fame, the fantastic VA work alone done for that character rivals my bias for the childhood friend. |

Anime canon disagrees with you. Epsiode 3 @ 14:14 'Osananajimi dakara ne.' 'She and I are childhood friends.' Yeah, without a doubt Harley and Nina are childhood friends, as it came straight out of the horse's mouth. Heck, that sentence was only part of the what he said in full, where he said that he understands Nina because of their bond as childhood friends, yet another common aspect of the archetype. |

Felli is currently catching up in terms of development and relationship with his beloved Fon-fon as seen in ep 6. It's only a matter of time before she took the lead over other girls and in the end she'd have Fon-fon as her favourite toy exclusively all to herself haha.
Felli x Fon-fon ftw |

currently Layfon has greater interest in Nina...and she didn't do anything actively to achive that...imagine what happens if she starts fighting for Layfon...she's a very strong competitor...not to mention Leerin who scored the first point before everyone else even met him.

If you want you can add a novel or manga information put it in a spoiler tag. Though I don't know if I'll read it as I don't want to spoil myself for later events yet. Also most information from a novel and manga can be taken out of context and it's hard to refute it if you don't have access to that information. So I'd probably just disregard it anyway.

He cares or else he wouldn't have gone to her and asked her to escape. Why did he reconsider his decision though? Wasn't because of what Nina told him about protecting those who are important to you? Her words seem to have a strong influence on his actions so far in the series. He's also seen worry about her in Ep6 and wanting to continue talking to her at the end of Ep6 after she delivers the letter and turns to leave.

Well that's just my opinion on it. I think it's a fairly logical conclusion from what we have seen so far. I have yet to see enough to form an opinion on how he feels about Leerin yet so that's a mystery.

Spoiler for manga:
in the anime i see FonFon's attitude toward Nina as more of a dmiration as she has a ideal and goal to work for while he is still trying to figure out what he is. Outside of work and training they seemt o have very little contact. Certainly far less the FonFon and Felli.

In the anime while Felli and Layfon have a bit more interaction it's due to her pursuing him not the other way around. Nina isn't chasing after him but he certainly even at times when he is with Felli he worries and wonders at her. His major actions and decisions so far have been because of her. So far for all the interaction Felli and Layfon have had so far he hasn't been shown to have any romantic interest in her. Layfon and Nina have so far been influencing each other a lot and both changing because of it.

For the subject of Layfon x Nina pairing, I agree that these two seem to have shown little interest at each other anything remotely that concerns romance. Nina seems to be there as a plot device just to glorify Layfon's superiority in combat. Her lacking only fuels her inferiority complex. Layfon, on the other hand, seems a little distraught whenever Nina is feeling the blue thanks to his superior combat skill. Nothing romantic really, but definitely ammunition for talks. His tired head resting on Nina's chest after fighting the faceless enemies gives rise to further talks. I know, straw-grabbing at best. Whether it'll lead to anywhere is up in smoke at this time in the anime.

Let's do a thought experiment, shall we? Replace Nina with a (straight) male character. How many of their interactions change at all? I'd say very very few. While Nina's certainly important to Layfon's thoughts and actions, that doesn't necessarily imply romance. If anything they're closer to rivals right now.
If they ever do set her up as a love interest, I'd say she has a good chance, but until then she's just not part of his harem. Yet. |
