Saga is good people, and moreover Steady. Steady is a good thing when things are bad! Florian is lovely and charming. Really quite polished, but personable.
Nammah!
: indeed and verily. Aerith has been lovely! please forgive the spotty as that is energy levels and post surgery stuff and not lack of interest!
Abel thinks John is very helpful, and he appreciates his insight a lot. He also is considering asking him to teach him how to cook because he has never even made pasta before it's...unfortunate. Also maybe he can make him more ice cream because that really did make him feel better.
Hanna thinks Vincent is just a really swell dude and maybe has a few quirks, but who doesn't? Also please don't take away his occult library access after this fiasco. He'll be more careful and maybe ask before trying out new magic out of them just in case he might summon hell again.
Gonna speed run this. Sheehan adores Saga and is so happy that she's just a sane fucking adult. He loves John, obviously, and feels so safe with him. Corvo appreciates how grounded Jamie keeps him. Corvo is so confused by Florian sometimes, but adores the hell out of him. Justine loves John. End of.
B is inordinately fond of John. the guy is so kind for where he came from and what he was supposedly a part of, and he only hopes he can live up to that kind of kindness and wonder at the small things of life.
cacopheny
: John has such fondness for B who helped show him problem solving through making stuff yourself. and Jamie considers B one of the solid people on board he can count on.
like. not from threats necessarily. but like if Edwin had Gone Evil for a Weird Flood or something Jedao would want to Handle it partly so that John wouldn't have to
also he finds John's deep-down assumption of parts of the King's mantle re: the dust and cold and the end of all things very deeply comforting. and it makes him think of like....stuff like this
what a mercy and relief for things to end, what a miraculous gift for the ends of things to be heralded by someone who understands love and music and madness
jedao thinks florian is incredible and is a little bit sad now that he didn't angle for a threesome while he had the chance lmao (but he really did need time to get his head on straight)
he would be a little flattered by the possibility of wariness, I think - Florian sees him very clearly and is not fooled by the sweaters or the quietness, and Jedao has very rarely had people be wary of him who were actually seeing him and his own capacity for decisive ruthlessness rather than Jedao One's bloody reputation
but also he would like to reassure Florian that because Florian is both highly capable (esp in ways/with tools Jedao does NOT have) and can be reasoned with, it will almost always be a better tactical choice for Jedao to get him onside :>
Kahl's feelings for Jamie are just like [Avril Lavigne blasting I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, I THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE] but immortal adolescent possessive assholes
Goose Botherer
: John DOES need protecting more than he'd ever admit and he'll be in a bad place after this flood. (also I need to hit that thread back I have just not had the brain)
John: on the one hand, eldritch cooties, and like with Blitz, Sebastian's a little offended by how human John seems, have some dignity. On the other, he feels like he should probably soak up everything he can from him because clearly whatever he did to become more of an actual person worked.
Ms Properpants
: at some point, I'd love Sebastian to see him go a little more King-like during something. Oh the capability to do that is still 100% there.
Florian: literally his young master in ten years + magic, he's perfect <333. Sebastian wants praise from literally everyone all the time, but especially wants it from Florian.
Goose Botherer
: also coming back to this Jamie wants to give some sort of Tribute to Kahl because he appreciates that he's been on his side even if he hasn't needed to call on him. Sometimes just knowing someone is there matters.
Jamie: Walter doesn't really know him Florian: Walter remembers him... A way... From fourth wall... He definitely thinks of him as "this guy is one of the guys who graduated and was still completely the same" but useful and in fact especially helpful with the shield, he's touched now
Vincent: GOD BLESS YOU FOR BRINGING LAICITE INTO HIS VOCABULARY, truly one of the delightful inmates in Walter's batch Saga: he's kinda blatantly suspicious of her as Arthur's warden, as there's the common assumption of special treatment
JD: genuinely very suspicious of him, not just the special treatment but very creeped out by his extremely close relationship with Misty, feels like he uses therapy speak to be guilt trip ("flounce with Rosita", etc)
Lenga
: John would be so baffled at Walter's assessment of him. Vincent just gives a tight smile. Florian would say he is the same person but it's a lot more than that and perhaps they could talk about it. Saga just keeps on trucking.
Florian is perfect and she loves him. John is Differently Perfect and she’s very glad he’s here, Vincent is interesting and she likes talking to him, Saga is friend shaped
John doesn't initiate or demand because he's trying to be respectful of what Misty wants but when she offers he jumps at doing things with her. and he'd walk across fire for her.
