Gregor is definitely going to check out a library since Dorian got him interested in reading "modern" poetry, and he is the sort of person to like tea shops and also wandering through parks
Walker had a chance to kill the people who destroyed his planet and actively chose peace instead, etc., etc., he's that guy who will preach about choice, no matter what. Hippie alien grandpa :')
it's probably going to challenge my writing a lot-- I haven't written a minor character in YEARS so I'm not used to having to make this much up. IT'LL BE FUN
instead of saving his entire planet he got to be a literal hermit without a roof over his head as mogo kicked his ass out of a horrible depressive stupor
when minato asked if dipper was his "secret boyfriend" ken wasn't surprised because the person it started with was kaneda but when kaneda isn't involved he's so ???
Though actually, I think he really recognizes the almost parental way they're worrying about him because he remembers that strongly now... especially because, lbr
there is no way Ken got through the first nine years of his life without getting into arguments with people who offended his sense of justice his mom would've sat him down with those lectures
Jaime actually doesn't associate it with parental worry -- to him, even if this IS a lot more parental in nature, he thinks he's just being a responsible big brother
godspeed fey... GOOD LUCK and yeah i think from Jaime, it's a very big-brother approach! even if he has that parental nature to it because his actual parents are so good at their job
Like sitting next to each other at Starbucks and diners and talking together so Jaime's laughing or waving his arms around explaining things and Minato has a teeny tiny smile on his face.
Or they're looking at a map or Minato's music player or looking through tacky souvenirs together. And over the trip it changes a little so Jaime starts putting his arm around his shoulders or something.
yes at the beginning he just sits there with his teeny smile and listens while looking down. pictures of them now would have Minato like... engaging instead of just listening
Gradually there's more of the interaction moving in the Minato-->Jaime direction, so Minato is showing him things, or he's putting something on Jaime's head in passing, pointing to something in his hand.
also I imagine in some of them Ken actually manages to get them both to look at the camera so Minato's face has an evolutionary timeline of being blankfaced surprised to actually smiling.
there's probably at least one picture Minato didn't know he was taking where he's like... standing off to the side coming back from getting something from the car, and everyone else is seated around
the campfire in Arizona, laughing and fighting and talking and sharing food, and he has his hands in his pockets in the darkness looking on them around the flickering light and he's just...
And then the last few weeks it turns into a sequence of > photo of Jaime and Minato > a weird blurry picture of Minato reaching over > Minato's hand with Koromaru's nose > a flabbergasted Ken that Minato snaps
He doesn't particularly want to give away his secret id but if she won't let him drag her away as the blue beetle, he cares too much not to just do it as jaime instead
That is TOTALLY up to you, my friend. I am perfectly content with her not knowing his secret if you want to keep just a 'normal' friendship between them.
That being said I won't lie. It'd definitely work. Jaime is the least threatening person she knows. Even monster beetle can't make him scary in her mind. 8Ia
