Larissa's team is Gale (of course), Shadowheart, Lae'zel, and Larissa herself. Shadowheart sort of likes Larissa and Lae'zel is allegedly neutral but actually slightly below 0. But Gale's approval has just kept climbing and is now at "high" (even before that, he had a very flirty comment when she nervously asked what he thought about her wish for a romantic walk at some point, but he's pretty flirty in general, so).
However, on the Gale/Larissa/Mystra front, I'm pretty sure the burst of approval that pushed him up to "high" was when the party ran over the group of adventurers from the grove mourning their dead outside the goblin village, and Larissa offered to pray for the dead as a cleric. This already happened in my Shadowheart game, so I knew that any cleric can make the offer, but the specific prayer offered in that scene is at least partly dependent on the deity you serve. The Shar prayer in the Shadowheart game was dreadful, of course ... like, "may they be forgotten" or something, lol. But the Mystra prayer is actually really nice. Larissa prayed that they would find wonder in their afterlives, as in life, and *ping* another leap in Gale's approval.
Anyway, Gale and Larissa's romance being so contingent on their mutual devotion to Mystra is a delight.
