The scene with Amati, the contract, the sword and Lowrance didn't make much sense to me so I checked the novel.
Check it out, this is pretty interesting. Quote:

she does not ask to mate, but to "be together" but in the context of she wanting a child it is basically the same as asking to mate. the anime just make it clearer, it being a different medium. written text in japanese can be more precise than spoken Japanese thanks to the Kanji system thus why the writers changed what Horo said to make it clearer. you could say that a little was lost in the translation of the Novel, even though I myself would have reached the same conclusion even reading the translated text.

I don't think Lawrence knew much of Horo's hometown in the beginning other than that it was a legendary place. It was rather unfair for Horo to jump to conclusions that Lawrence was taking pity on her as I'm sure he is hurt too.

What is true is that he doesn't know Horo. He was completely fooled by her dainty act. I guess a lot would depend on how betrayed he'd feel in learning of Horo's true nature (and I don't just mean the ears and tail) and how much of a believer he is. I pity Amati. He's the antagonist, but he's not a villain. |

in my opinion horo is not some adolescent girl, so i think she can be trusted not to be stupid anytime soon. perhaps stupid in a clumsy and cute way, but she is after all horo the wise.
and after all she did apologise after being "a bit" rash. and it is a big thing, i mean the apology from her mouth, in the middle of (almost) loosing it. i learned trough the first series that she would be the last to betray lawrence, even if she acts in a teasing manner when it comes to expresing her feelings for lawrence. actually this makes her even more trustworthy, because it shows she trusts him. and my opinion of amati is quite low, rushing trough the door like a raging bull not knowing what is on the other side isn't very merchant like. and he was swayed by horo quite quickly. i wouldn't say this could count as a scam from horo-tachi side, because no action was provoked, amati just acted from his own near sightedness, and blind arogance, trusting his own right and rightness without proof. one could say he acts quite narcissistic. oh well... cant wait for the next episode. |

There's certainly a bit of arrogance to him. And he's being very, very rash, but it's understandable:
- he's a kid; - he's in love, probably for the first time; - if he lets her get away now, he may never see her again; - he has no close friend to give him some perspective in such matters. And all he's done is basically tell Lawrence: please let me give you 1000 silver Trennies. He hasn't tried to buy Horo as if she was property. He just did the only thing he could to even have the legal right to ask for Horo's hand. Also of note, he hasn't tried anything as distasteful as saying "I'll free you from your debt if you agree to marry me". Or to buy her debt to hold it himself. |

it could be like that, but that was quite a flashy move, to chalenge him infront of so many people from the same guild, i guess he must be quite convinced in his opinion of lawrence, which can't be very good, as to me it seemed he is acting like a proud knight trying to save a maiden from an evil dragon.
i think i do understand what you could be saying. might be he is so enfatuated with horo, he is incapable of acting sober, he is quite young... |

He really isnt a villain in the classic sense but he is trying to take another man's woman, and that just isn't right. |

after Horo came back, Lawrence saw the fur she was wearing and he asked her what story did she use to fool the guy. she explained what she told him. She told him that Lawrence saved her from some people and then that she got in debt with him and that she is travelling with him till she pays the debt. She didn't lie, but she kept some information about she travelling to find her home, and that if you look at it the debt was an excuse that Lawrence made to travel together.
