: Florian has no idea how to take Xie Lian who seems so very nice and is also, somehow, a god. And the problem is less the talking to him and the being a person so much as it is the immediate offers of help and not requiring payment up front. The idea of 'maybe a god doesn't always set you up for horrors' is odd to him.
Ms Properpants
: Kiryu respects Sebastian and appreciates him helping Trixie during the fighting the other day. He needs to go find him (possibly during this) and thank him for it.
Mrs Sheepie
: Jod kinda watches Arthur from the sidelines because while he's not quite on the Eiffel level of Protect the President, there's parts of him that remind him of Mercymourn in a way that makes his heart hurt and his rant from yesterday hit on that point HARD.
ᴀʟᴀɴ's ᴡᴀᴋᴇ.
: Kiryu fucking hated Roman to start, because he rubbed up on some very recent hurt due to a certain mogul's son fucking up his life. But since he gave him some time and got to know him, he's seeing him a lot more like Daigo and it's turned into a protective teaching relationship. He's glad he didn't follow his first instinct.
ᴀʟᴀɴ's ᴡᴀᴋᴇ.
: Kiryu still very much loves Nishiki and hopes he's at peace. He blames himself somewhat for what happened, for how he let his friendship progress, how he didn't notice Nishiki in pain before that. He wishes desperately it could have been different and misses him.

: Reid has a crush on Lestat, not that he realizes this is what it is. But he is so very fond of him and he feels fiercely defensive of him. Not because he thinks he's perfect or has done nothing wrong but because he has known Elisabeth and knows from his own hungers how easy it is to fall from grace when you live like this and how
terrifying eternity looks when you're staring at it and knowing that for most of it, you will be alone for one reason or another. He wants to go back in time and SHAKE ALL OF HIS BROTHERS REPEATEDLY and he's angry at Lestat's parents for not raising them better given how he was taught alongside his sister. He wants most of all for Lestat to be happy.
Kira🌵
: Florian likes Gonou and felt the budding urge towards nerdy pursuits in their talk. Like, even aside from his scheming, he just Enjoys Science a Lot so he wants to talk about it. The things they apparently share actually made him more likely to talk to Gonou in the future and he appreciates how he didn't make Johann being Johann
Shards-giving
: Clark 100% thinks of Dick as some of the best out there and he considers Dick to be probably one of the top people he trusts to have both a good perspective and a good handle on any given situation, including ones that have to do with Bruce.
In threads where they're shipped and Clark is of age with him, Dick is just a joyful presence
Kira🌵
: Florian considers Ulla to be the weird in between point from 'people who don't get my homeland' to 'Johann and I who practically ARE my homeland' and it means that she's very comfortable for him to be around. Knowing she was motivated by revenge makes him think she might understand him a decent amount and he's much more
positively inclined since she fixed his hands. He's been considering a gift for her and he's been searching the books in his shelves in his bedroom to compile anything she might want.
Florian thinks Pagan is fabulous and has no idea why he hasn't fucked him over yet or pointedly tried to manipulate him and it simultaneously makes him want to get to know him better and makes him wonder when the shoe is going to drop.
ᴇʀᴏɢᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ 🍆
: Florian has sunk his claws into Archer and will go feral wolverine at the very idea someone might take him away. They're having a bonding moment right now and there's a lot getting purged out that's been in there festering for ages.

: Sand was just drawn to Nadia. She felt like home and like something real and the timing drove him nuts because of his own experience but man did it feel like something clicking in place. There's a part of him that thinks they could have been good for each other just romantically
Nadia just had this inchoate mass of feelings that was basically part "he could fix me" and part "he's too good and doesn't deserve an asshole like me in his life".
