Path's Links
Path thinks Alistaire is tiny and frail. Very brightly coloured, too. Path is friends with Alistaire, acting as a a sort of protector if things get hairy. At first, Path was forced to confront Alistaire - he still feels bad about the punch. Path has tried his hardest to make it up to Alistaire by being there to keep him safe and give him as many piggyback rides as he wants.
This guy can carry him around like a pretty princess.
Their first meeting was... not the most amicable, starting with Path punching him hard enough to bruise a couple ribs, but hey, that's just business; Ali's made friendships out of encounters more hostile. Anyway, Path's like, promised not to do it again, now that he's free of the control of Neo Dominus. The big guy's now kind of like a guard dog -- a six foot seven guard dog who'll probably punch a hole through you if you threaten his friends. And Alistaire appreciates that, as someone whose existence invites a lot of vitriol.
Path thinks of Charlie as a good friend, and is thankful that Charlie didn't shoot him when they first met. Path sees Charlie as someone stubborn in need of help, like when an injured bird bites your finger as you're trying to help it. He is always there in case Charlie needs to blow off steam by shooting rocks in his forest. Charlie also gave Path a poncho, one of Path's most beloved possessions. He cherishes Charlie very much and thinks of him as one of his best friends.
weird forest guy. charlie feels pretty bad for all the shit this guy's been through. path is a pretty okay guy all things considered, but he can be a little much sometimes. he gave path a poncho from an old halloween costume and path has never let him forget it.
Path met Jasper when they crash-landed in his forest, Path mistaking them for a bright falling star. Since then, Path has looked up to Jasper, admiring them and wanting to keep them safe. He sorta follows them around like a puppy. Path cares a lot for Jasper and thinks of them as a friend.
Path met Levi through Alistaire. Path loves Levi's connection to snakes - they bonded over their love of animals, Path showing Levi where the snakes live in his forest. It also helps that Levi is close in height to him, giving him some more tall friends to hang around. Plus he's skinny, so Path can lift him up like a handful of grapes. Best of both worlds.
Path met with Liam when the two were young teenagers. The two bonded for a short while, and years later they managed to reunite through Levi. Path is willing and eager to help Liam with whatever he needs, often hanging around Liam, looming like a shadow behind him. Path loves when Liam brushes and braids his hair.
Path was one of the first people Liam ever met that didn't intend to observe him like a bug under a microscope, as well as being the first peer he'd ever met, age-wise. He's immensely happy that their paths ended up crossing again after that, and cherishes their bond deeply. He always enjoys Path's company, even when he may come off a bit intimidating to others. Though Liam's always been most at home in the chaos of the city, sometimes he comes out to spend time with Path in the quiet of his forest. It makes him feel safe.
Path doesn't like Apollo at first, not one bit. Apollo made it clear he had no respect for Path or his forest, and as such Path viewed him as a threat. If it wasn't for Jasper, Path would have gotten into a fight with this lousy trust fund prettyboy, and knowing Path's strength it wouldn't have gone well. Path sees Apollo as someone fake and harmful to those around him, but he's been holding back because he doesn't want to hurt someone Jasper cared about. Over time, Path starts to grow a bit more neutral towards Apollo. If Jasper loves them so much, then Path can at least try to care about the man, as revolting as he may be.
Path looks up to Sal. Path sees Sal as someone who shares similar troubles, and thus he confides in Sal with any problems or insecurities related to his monster-like abilities or appearance. Path grows to trust Sal a lot, slowly accumulating more and more clothes that Sal wants him to try on.
Sal sees Path as something of a nephew. He knows that Path looks up to him, and while he really doesn't understand how he can be a role model, Sal wants to help Path. They share concerns about their powers and appearance, and Path trusts Sal enough to confide in him. While Sal's a pretty poor role model in coping with these problems he does his best to give Path at least good advice, even if he doesn't follow it himself. He's also got a lot of old clothes lying around that can fit Path...
