Romance with Lae'zel can begin if If the player character has at least medium (20) [[approval]] with her. At this threshold an exclamation icon [!] may appear above her head. If spoken with, she states she has misjudged the player character, that they have proven their courage, and she is aroused by their scent. She then offers a night of sensual pleasure. If the player character begins a romance with another companion (where an evening cut-scene occurs) first, this scenario will not take place and she cannot be romanced unless the prior relationship is ended first. Instead, she will only mention her interest with some regret. Also, if the beginning stages of romance are started with two other companions even before a night scene occurs, Lae'zel ultimately dismisses any advance by the player character, stating she prefers "fresh meat". | Romance with Lae'zel can begin if If the player character has at least medium (20) [[approval]] with her.

Regardless of who takes charge, the player character wakes up next morning - aching in various places. Lae'zel insists it was just for pleasure and spends no time on sentimentality, having already begun preparing to leave camp by the time the player character starts to recover. Depending on conversation choices, the engagement may develop in future acts, with more dialogues and scenes. | Regardless of who takes charge, the player character wakes up next morning - aching in various places.

At camp during an evening, some time after the initial sex scene, an exclamation point may appear above [!] her head. If spoken with, Lae'zel observes she has, on several occasions since their first night together, caught the player character looking at her "with lidded eyes" and perhaps, as she sees it, wants to sleep with her again. If agreeing with her assessment, she reminds them she never promised to be with them more than once. If agreeing but promising to stop, she deflects, answering, "I did not say it was unwelcome." With either choice, she playfully challenges the longing player character with an offer: "''Tempt'' me." Any response except declining results in [[approval]] and her approaching them upon a long rest, followed by another implied sex scene which happens off-screen. | |||

After multiple long rests within the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], if approval with the player character is high enough and her personal quest in [[Crèche Y'llek]] has been completed, she approachs them while sleeping, confesses she is obsessed with them and feels uneasy about it.

If downed, the post combat cut-scene does not occur, the player character is automatically bonded with Lae'zel, and other romances are ended. Additionally, if allowed to die, Lae'zel must then be [[revivify|revived]] by spell, [[scrolls|scroll]], or with {{CharLink|Withers}}.}} Using certain potions in combat (and potentially other items such as coatings or scrolls{{verify}}) prompts disapproving overhead remarks from her, but does not affect approval or the results. | ||
Regardless of who wins, the player character has the option to progress their romance with her after the fight. If they win, she is amazed by their skill in combat, saying they are ''"jhe'stil."'' If they lose, she finds herself still unable to dispense with her feelings and vows to protect them. In either case, she asks the player character to confirm their affection towards her; if confirmed, Lae'zel declares the player character ''"Zhak vo'n'ash duj.'' Source of my bruises." This fully partners them with Lae'zel and ends any other ongoing affairs. | Regardless of who wins, the player character has the option to progress their romance with her after the fight.
