Even in the face of death, Eliot and Margo stay cool, calm and collected. Like the time they were aboard the Muntjac racing toward the infinite waterfall. Eliot told Margo he loved her, and she replied, "I know". They shared a smile, taking what could have been the end in stride, together. The way they genuinely share love and laughter with each other in the face of death is amazing.

When the going gets tough, Eliot and Margo talk. Like the time they had to figure out how to deal with Margo's psychotic young suitor, while thwarting an impending Fairy attack at the same time. Instead of letting stress get the better of them, they devised a plan during a carriage ride. We marvel at how the pair went from being glamorous, snarky college students to royals who have depth, character and no time to bicker when problems need solving.

When they give each other bad advice, Eliot and Margo aren't afraid to confess their mistakes. Like the time Eliot encouraged Margo to marry Prince Ess, but then realized it was too much to ask her to marry someone she doesn't know. He took back what he said, and they later had an insightful conversation about Thai food.

We appreciate the moments when this duo simply takes the time to lovingly compliment one another. Like the time they were having a serious chat about the Dark King and Margo interrupted to tell Eliot his outfit looked great. She liked his new leggings and how they showed off his "legs for days". It was so very sweet.

They're friendship goals because so support each other no matter what. Like the time Margo shockingly and unexpectedly declared war on the Lorians without consulting with Eliot.
