Faine Boulstridge's Links
Although Faine works under Fifer as a consultant, he is wholly unaffected by her leadership position and shows of power. Instead of being scared by her aggression, he rather finds it tiring; and maybe a bit childish. Faine sees Fifer only as a friend in part, and his loyalty to her cause would most likely be jeopardized if not for the fact that Faine feels obligated to help her.
Fifer sees Faine more as a tool than she sees even Albion and expects constant respect and availability from him. She engages him mostly when necessary and scarcely talks to Faine for anything other than business.
Faine has grown emotionally and socially since his first meeting with Albion, and as such he sees their reconnected relationship as an opportunity to amend some of the errors he made in their first friendship. Although Faine still exhibits slightly distant behaviors from time to time, he sees Albion as a friend, and maybe even more of a friend than he was before they were separated.
Faine had been Albion's best friend when they were children, but multiple years of separation has left Albion a little hesitant and awkward. Their relationship is marked by friendly banter, leisure time, and discussing plans, but through all of their interactions Albion is making a staunch effort to remeet the boy he knew so well as a child.
