: Lark has this deep curiosity and affection for B. Some ways it's 'dog followed you home in the rain' and some ways it's 'you belong in my pack, let me show you a better life'. And then there's also a very easy companionship that he doesn't have with his actual packmates.
Annie worries SO MUCH about this guy, she hates when people suffer and he is suffering a lot. It pings every empathetic string in her body and she just wants to see him get some peace somehow.

: similar to how she feels about B, she hates that he has suffered so much. She knows there's so much more to him but that it's such a weight that he probably doesn't know everything there is about himself yet. She would slit a guy's throat if anyone tried to hurt Nico. He's had enough hurt
If she could bring him into her pack and actually make him a wolf, she would. He's like her brother and she knows how the change can heal some hurts (and make others worse, so she won't offer it). She just wants to Be There With Him however he lets her
planetbefall: Lark REALLY REALLY LIKES how analytical and organized Zhongli is, because those are traits he values and is drawn to. He is already seeing the ways they can coordinate, although he is going to need to feel out how their individual schemes mesh as well. But already this guy is headed to the ally list

: Going to start with Lark and Godric because it's easiest. Secretly, Lark actually likes Godric a lot. He admires him, which is not a thing Lark does (because he's an egotistical megalomaniac). The only reason he is keeping himself at a distance is because he cares so much about Archer, and he doesn't know how to reconcile having a
Lark and Pagan! Oh god Lark just loves him. He's ridiculous but has these hidden depths, and they just click. Lark gets really, really annoyed with the ways Pagan is misunderstood. Yeah he's flamboyant and pushes people's buttons but you are legitimately stupid if you think that's all for real :|
Annie and Godric! She loves him SO DAMN MUCH. Would walk through fire for him (and she is legit terrified of fire so). She hasn't felt safe anywhere for years but she does with him and it's giving her a stability she lost with the old pack.
That said, part of why she attached to him so quickly was that he just lets her be herself. She can babble at him, she can tease him, she can cry on his shoulder, he still loves her. But he also has a similar goal: he wants to use his deal to go home and die.
And so she feels very safe that he would understand her wanting to do the same. Believing he'd understand lets her be more open with him than she has been with anyone else, even though she's also aware that she should probably not tell him this
rarity: she went from zero to MY BUDDY CONNOR the second he was so nice to that crab. :c kindness is such a rare thing for her and it just knocks her flat to see it, especially from someone as polished as he is. She just wants to spend SO MUCH TIME with him, to see him be enthusiastic and kind and enjoying her world

: HAHAHA okay so Lark really likes William. He wants so badly to see him get off the fucking ship, which is why he's so frustrated with how rigid William is. You will not get free if you can't roll with the punches and yes he knows how unjust those punches are, he hates it too, but don't languish here on the barge because of it!!!
He's aware he's lost all standing with William and he hates that but he's also like well. I will keep doing my thing and I'll have your back anyway I guess
but like...every warden he talked to about harry was like "look we can't hold each other accountable, wardens are here for their perma inmate and that's it" and now that he's accepted that?????? people are mad????
He's starting to let himself rely on Edward which is a New Thing for him. Edward is smart and steady and reliable and funny and strong and level headed and kind and look, Lark just has a lot of feelings and they're all positive. 10/10
LOL edward so far has told literally no one except the people he's asked for deets, and probably will continue to tell no one after he talks to william about the end

: ARCHER Archer is the first person since Alec that Lark can just completely let his guard down with. There are a lot of ugly sides to Lark that he keeps sealed up in polite company but he never feels judged by Archer for them. Granted,
he hasn't told Archer about ALL of them but. They get each other and he finds so much respite in how easily they go together. Wants him to be happy and really fears that Godric won't offer that in the end :c don't hurt his friend
(although he didnt expect the thing with tess to stay quiet... he was going to be upfront if ppl asked but no one has and so now its just that no one knows...)
yallternative
: He admires how clear-headed she is, and he is fascinated by how well she presents herself and guards herself at the same time. He trusts her to tell the truth when asked, which is a novelty for him (he doesn't lie he just doesn't say things!)
Jay
: Lark needs to meet Shen Wei! As for Fives, he still really likes him and he misses him. He's not used to just not having a friend but that friend still being alive? all his friendships that ended before were because of Sudden Death. So on the one hand he's hurt and pretty wildly confused, and on the other he wishes him well anyway

: Annie enjoys Alec a lot. His humor, his talents, that they meet on similar wavelength. She misses being able to do more with him but he is VERY MUCH LARK'S NOW so she has to keep away.
As for Callisto she is scared to death of her she wants to confront this fear and see what Tiffany likes so much about her, plus she's a warden and should be brave!! So let her do your nails and make dumb jokes, Callisto :c
Lark obviously hates Alec secretly. Using him as arm candy. (He is so in love with him that even Lark is fucking embarrassed about it sometimes. BEST. FUCKING. PERSON.)

: ANITA Lark is so glad she's on board. It seems a lot of his people make waves on this ship and he likes how she has handled it. He worries about what her future pairing will be like and is ready to step in and be an asshole if she needs him to back her up. Also she is going to beabductedinvited to movie nights at his cabin
Iris!! I'll start with Annie: she views Iris as an auntie, which is a bigger deal to her than a mother or sister. Aunties are the ones you confide in, the ones you run to when things are bad, the ones who spoil you but also tell you when to cut your crap.
Lark: loves that he knows where Iris stands on things. She's a rock in his mind, but not one of those that can't be talked to and reasoned with and debated with. She voices her opinion but never feels like she's pushing his away. She is family to him, and to Alec, and she is irreplaceable.
Cain: his love for her is so deep and so steady. She was the one person who was a light for him when he was stuck in his old, entrenched cycles. She's the reason he's happy now, and she's the one person he can tell his darkest thoughts to.
