Autumn's Links
She sees him as she studies in the university cafe fairly often & he intrigues her. There aren't many non-xynthii that are at the cafe as late as she usually is. She can't figure out if he's a student or not. He tends to write in a journal rather than what she thinks of when she thinks of study materials. And sometimes, she watches & sees that he draws intently. Maybe someday she'll ask what he does.
Dublin knows that there's a xynthii gal that watches him across the room at his favorite cafe. He goes there to chill out after work, & he's pretty used to being watched both professionally & in general with so few other Viriderma around, so he doesn't hold it against her. He knows she's just curious.
Sometimes she feels a bit of pressure since her whole family seems to be successful, but other times she's glad Kaihlo is her cousin since he treats her like a sibling instead of a distant relative. Being an only child, having some form of sibling like relationship was nice as a kid. They're not as close as they used to be, but she still thinks fondly of their childhood memories.
Autumn is one of the few people that can get Leiah to feel like she's not forced to be everyone's "rock." With Autumn, she can truly relax & every once in awhile, vent even. Sometimes a girl just needs an easy going bestie.
Autumn often feels like a pain in the ass. She has long hours at school, especially in the library, & she can't believe he's willing to deal with her hermit like life.
Kenichi adores Autumn. He's struggled with relationships before, and Autumn was the first girl who seemed to understand him. With Autumn he feels like he can freely show how much he cares for her. He doesn't get to see her often, but really appreciates the time they can spend together.
