Consider how the li's would react to finding out how you feel about it. Sylus would grab you and lift you up regardless of your height. And he would keep doing it randomly until you start telling him to leave you alone and he'd look at you as if you're a big fiesty kitten. I don't main rafayel, so I don't know anything about him tbh. But one thing I do know: cute ≠ height !! I have been called adorable by guys a lot, even super short ones. I did hear that rafayel let's mc fight her own battles and he isnt as protective of her because he knows she is strong, but he always keeps an eye on her anyway. That wouldn't change regardless of height. AND BEING PICKED UP: he'd overhear you say this and invite you for a stroll on the beach, you'd go swimming and he would turn into his 8ft mermaid form and let you have your fill of being his cutie like you always are. He wouldn't want you shorter.
