* During the Silver Devaluation arc, Holo gets angry at Lawrence for relying on Milone Company's thugs to rescue her from Medio Trading Company instead of coming himself. She implies this is because she did and/or said something intimate to the man she ''thought'' was Lawrence, and felt humiliated when realizing her error, but there is a deeper reason. Her castigation includes this phrase, "If you're a male, sharpen your fangs and dive into combat. Instead, you hid in that hole!" In other words, this wolf deity expected Lawrence, the human man she has become romantically interested in, to act like a wolf. Instead, he acted like a rabbit, like ''prey''. He wonder she was so disappointed!

* Holo's human form looks like a girl in her mid-teens, and while we never get his actual age, Kraft Lawrence looks to be about his late 20s. And yet when they have their cover story as being husband and wife, no one balks at the age difference. In the time period analogous to the show, it wasn't at all unusual for a man of the middle-class - such as a merchant - to make his fortune before marrying, and usually the girl he takes as a wife will be on the younger side, [[HeirClubForMen to maximize the chances]] of the pair having children that live to adulthood by numbers if nothing else. So a married couple of Lawrence and Holo's ages isn't at all something folks would question. Now, a mere traveling peddler bringing his wife along, ''that'' ought to be causing eyebrows to rise. Which it does on occasion.

* Lawrence and Holo do a great deal of traveling but there is seldom a description of the places they go to. The landscape, the towns, it's all minimalist and practical. This is because it's a merchant's perspective. Someone with Lawrence's pragmatic and profit minded viewpoint would naturally notice the extremely well maintained entrance to a church before any of the religious art, if he noticed it at all.

* Lawrence gets better at responding to Holo's teasing as the series progresses, even taunting and flustering her on occasion. In particular, he first began to needle her near the end of the gold smuggling arc, shortly after Holo gives Nora some advice regarding men. Said advice was to never be too generous with your affections, even toward a someone you truly love, so that they never take your devotion for granted. Lawrence must have overheard and taken that lesson to heart, as he began to hassle her for the first time shortly thereafter. He effectively turned Holo's own advice against her.

* Holo's love for alcohol and apples could tie in with one another; in the wild, animals sometimes become "drunk" off of fermented fruit, and some of the smarter ones (like Crows and Wolves) will even zero in on these treats after they learn that such food can give them a "buzz". While acting as the Spirit Wolf of the Harvest, Fermented Apples were probably the only real intoxication Holo could get without stealing from or tricking the local population.
