Nora is very used to being the rational one in the room, going all the way back to her relationship with her mom and she’s never really come up against anyone that truly challenges her – and this GHOST is challenging her. But he’s challenging her in a way that’s kinda safe? Since he’s a ghost, it’s not like he can fire her or break up with her or even really physically touch her and that’s liberating. She can say all these things to him and re-grow that backbone and it feels AWESOME. Basically – he inadvertently helps her get her sass back.
He, on the other hand, is so used to people wanting him just for his services and the idea that someone would help him because it’s the ‘right’ thing to do just throws him like nothing else. He used to be a MERCHANT captain, so people never do things unless they get something out of it. But SHE does. Nora can’t imagine not knowing where you came from and or what happened to yourself – especially if it means you end up as a ghost! She’s helping him for him and he doesn’t know what to do with that.
And of course – once she gets to know him it’s all: He’s a GHOST, but I want to climb him like a TREE.

And he’s like: I’m a GHOST, but just LOOK at her.
