Starfall's Links
What word is there to describe you? I thought myself incapable of caring for anyone any longer. But you make me happy. Is this weakness, or the thing that lets me fight on?

Yes, he's annoying, and yes, she is not above shoving that damn necklace in the Friendship Jar to get him to shut up for awhile. But there is a fondness beneath their petty irritation. Starfall is no stranger to those who use humor as a coping mechanism, and she feels a sort of camaraderie with Tobias that's not too dissimilar from her bond with fellow Coalition members. Besides, they both know what it is like to have one's identity irreversibly tied to an anomaly. In a way, Starfall comes to see them as kindred spirits.
They are a very good at what she does, and he won't deny it. However, the stoic nature is a great temptation, and he can't help but make dumb comments in an attempt to see it break.

Starfall has always hated the Foundation's usage of D-Class, and deep down, it pains her to replicate that dynamic with Damian. She just can't prioritize anyone other than Grey; he is her everything. However, they try to be gentle with him, anyway. His trauma is obvious, and on a more selfish note, he helped Grey even when doing so wouldn't benefit him at all. Starfall respects that. They warm up to him in time, but remain aware of the inherently distant nature of their relationship.
She scares him at first, and if he was on eggshells with Grey, he is on glass around Starfall.
However, they show kindness around his trauma surrounding the breach, and it's easier to fall into a tentative companionship.
He knows how disposable he is, though, and he's already seen her prioritize Grey above everyone else. He can't fault her for it, but he's keenly aware of being the third wheel in their apartment.
