Felix's Links
I'm glad I was assigned to Darrel! He's a good kid who generally knows what he's doing. Initially I only viewed our relationship formally as his In-Kingdom Guide, but I've grown to consider him a friend. He's nice to talk to, and I can't deny he's made me a lot more confident, as well as desensitizing me to humans a lot more than ever before. Perhaps someday I'll view his kind in a better light as a whole.
Felix was at first nothing but my Guide while I was within the Acacian realm, but I think that's changed now. I feel a lot stronger of a connection to him, and I really enjoy his company. It's always fun to come back to the kingdom and find him there, getting more and more confident in himself, and always excited to see me around. It's nice to have such a close bond with someone within the kingdom.
W-Well, I guess... Bramble was not my favorite in the beginning. He's was very opinionated (and still is, quite honestly) and has a hostile air around him when confronted about... Anything, really. However, his skills are admirable, as they always have been. I'd be lying if I didn't envy his prowess, his almost stupid fearlessness when it comes to opposition. When our assignments pushed us into the same small gang of rebels against Austin and the Lurkers, I found out he isn't too bad. He's got some softness under that hard exterior, and pain he's trying to hide. ... Did Bramble tell you I consider him a role model? Well, yes... I suppose that's right, now. But more than just a role model: I trust him a lot more than I expected to in the end. He's been a really solid companion. I hope I get to spend more time with him, because I'd really like to know how he manages to stay on top for so long, and more than anything else, I'd like to know how he really is, and where I fit into his life.
Er... Just don't tell Bramble about all that, alright? I wouldn't want to get too sappy around him just yet...
Felix and I didn't immediately click. He seemed far too skittish and cowardly at first, but nowadays he's gotten much better. I can see him pushing past his comfort zone and establishing new personal boundaries, and that's something I admire of him. While he's not the hardiest of the Dragon's Claw or any other branches of combat, I have the sense he looks up to me. I'd say he's something like a little brother to me now, if I had to put it into words.
