The kid surprises me by not annoying me, he has everything that should be really annoying, but I just don't mind him. I don't know why he thinks he would have to wait 15 years before Hanna would consider him, I love that she bids him down to ten years. He's going to have a kind of awesome ten years, knowing he's on a bit of a promise from Hanna Linden. I don't think it's weird to ship future them, he might grow up cool enough for Hanna to have fun with him. Although actually he'll probably just die in the amazon.

And you're right, they could have come up with a far better reason to put Franklin against Bash. But I just don't care that it's a bit pointless and quick because THEY JUST MAKE ME TOO HAPPY TO CARE.
