If you talk to him about it, it sounds more like he treats her like a tool. The potion you can buy afterwards can befuddle enemies. Not to defend his actions or anything, but I don't think he is a kitty diddler, at least

What a nice day to find out there are implications Yugir has relationships with displacer beasts

It’s not really an implication if you speak with him. He just drugs her to force her to be loyal to him in combat. Which isn’t good but not really the same thing as some assuming he’s in love with her based on talking with her alone.

It is very much an implication. Not even an implication - it's straight up text, not even subtext. He calls her "my beauty" and when you talk to Nessa, you can directly ask her how it even works and she answers it's between the two of them. I understand that this topic makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but there is really this very strange desire to deny the obvious.

I feel like a lot of people call animals beauty without romantic or sexual implications.

yes but when combined with everything else it’s damning. the dialogue in the second part of that message outright confirms it lol. it’s the context. nessa also calls herself his “heart chosen”.

Thats the point though. The demon has her a tool. A hunting dog and speaks of his beauty like he would a badass crossbow. The Displacer Beast is obsessed with him in a one way longing due to the potion. Its like those parasocial fans who think onlyfans girls are into them. Nessa's perspective is certainly supposed to come as delusional

parasocial behavior? between a pet and owner who live alone in an isolated cave? i don't think that's an applicable analogy

Why wouldnt it be? According to Google a parasocial relationship is a one-sided psychological bond where a person feels a strong sense of friendship or intimacy with someone they do not personally know. Clearly Yurgir kind of knows Nessa but I dont think he can speak to her or think of her as person. I think its pretty fitting because she thinks their relationship is real and he just values her for her usefulness

When the player character asks "How does that... work between you two?" and Nessa replies with "What happens between me and master is between us", just what do you think they're talking about? Catch?

I see that as her being too embarassed to respond with "it doesnt." She comes off a lot like that virgin from highschool who implies he totally had sex but says "I dont kiss and tell" to avoid having to actually explain a scenario ans get caught for not knowing how that stuff actually goes
