Amneris: And only ever seen as being "cute". So I'll flutter to deceive-

Both: A stronger suit.
The first time Aida tells Radames that she loves him; a moment of pure sweetness and levity after the seriousness of "Elaborate Lives".
Aida's reunion with her father.
And his recognition of Mereb a minute later. You can tell from Mereb's face and body language how proud he is of what his family used to be, no matter how long he's been away from Nubia.
The exposition that Radames saved a 10-year-old Mereb from being beaten to death by the palace guards. Radames has been a good man since long before he met Aida.
Throughout the show Amneris shows hints of becoming the great and wise Pharaoh that will end the war with Nubia.
