Brand Sandoval's Links
He thinks of Lysander as a good and reliable friend, appreciating that he's not put off by the demonic rumors about him. Brand seems oblivious to Lysander's romantic interest- not entirely his fault, as the guy will flirt with anyone, how is he supposed to tell when it's genuine?
Initially started being nice to Brand after seeing that he didn't seem to have any friends, and found him really sweet. Being a romantic, Lysander eventually fell into an unrequited love for him, but he respects Brand's apparent lack of interest.
Brand thinks he and Surya are friends, but he's honestly not sure how he feels about them. He barely knows them, but somehow he feels safe with them.
Thinks of Brand as a mentee, perhaps even... a friend? They do care about him, but good luck hearing them say that.
[Brother] Near strangers. They’ve run into each other, but Brand is unaware of them being family. At most, Brand respects him… and is a little envious of his looks.
[Brother] Aelric doesn’t realize his brother is still alive, so he never noticed Brand much, beyond being a fellow adventurer. Aelric might have been able to recognize him if Brand hadn’t transed his gender and changed his name, but what can you do, right?
He thinks she's... cool. The kind of person he could hang out in complete silence with.
“Don’t see often, but when do see, very nice, enjoy time with”
“I… worry about him.” Although that’s still as much as Brand is willing to say aloud, he can feel that their relationship is deeper than before- they have moved on firmly from the burning stage. He’s gotten used to Ferrin’s rambunctious way of showing affection, even privately enjoying the contact he doesn’t often allow others. Brand is unsure what Ferrin seeks from him, unable to put a word to their relationship, but as long as Ferrin is content he can be too. He genuinely cares for the other's wellbeing and happiness. As Ferrin has put some trust in him, it’s only right that he does the same. Brand only hopes that one day, he can repay the man’s apparent sincerity in kind.
"We're.... we're gettin' somewhere, yeah? I guess I can safely say that I know Brand a little better now. I wonder if I should... bah that'll come later! Maybe." After a recent interaction between the two, Ferrin feels that he can be more transparent about his background to Brand, though with spare details. And in return, he appreciates Brands transparency as well. He still remains touchy, loud, and awkwardly flirtatious, making that proof that Ferrin's bizarre attempts at getting closer still remain the same. And yet, he holds back more than he used to, out of respect for the others comfort.
"...I don't want a fight." Brand is cautious of him, but content to keep the peace as long as Valnier too turns a blind eye.
"I am conflicted to say the least. My entire life, people like him, those who I KNOW hold something within them, were labeled as evil. But even then- He is a kind man. I would travel with him happily"
