Nelson "Heart" Nightwood's Links
"See you next time, doll." Heart would never admit it, but he loves spending time with Adriann even outside of their friends with benefits activities. What started as mutual attraction and work partners turned into friendship, and for that Heart is grateful, since he doesn't have many people he's less serious around. Flirting and joking around with Adriann is one of Heart's favorite pastimes, and they often scare off lower ranked Ice Storms with how gross they are. Even if they stopped being FWB, Heart would still gladly be Adriann's friend.
"Next week, handsome?" Adriann enjoys Heart's company immensely, regardless if they're doing just friend things or friends with benefits things. He likes taking in the personality he has on jobs versus the personality he'll have outside of work, and definitely has grossed out a few lower ranked Ice Storms with their obnoxious, mostly playful flirting while they're doing things together for the Storms. He's also useful to have around as a DD the rare time Adri does get drunk enough to not know what's going on.
"Give back my damn glasses." Heart was first just impressed with her work ethic and skills, which led to him requesting to work with her fairly often. This eventually gave way to him becoming friends with her as they went on more job together and talked more. His quiet and serious attitude is a perfect compliment to her louder and less uptight personality. Even though he may act annoyed when she's around, he enjoys her company keeping things interesting around the Ice Storm bases, and seriously admires her talents.
"Why so serious?" Kyra enjoys Heart's serious nature, and makes a game of trying to rile him up. She enjoys his efficiency on the job, and hanging out with him outside of strictly work, where she'll tease him even more for his "group dad" personality. Even though she won't hesitate to do something against him if the Ice Storms requests it, she hopes she won't ever have to do that because how much she genuinely does enjoy him. She knows no other friends but the group they have, after all.
"Lets get going." Heart is Sky's all time best friend and would go as far as to say right hand with any job they're put on together. He trusts Heart with his life and the two of them make a lethal fighting duo, so they're put on jobs extremely often. Sky often considers Heart as the brother Jake never was, and the two of them can often be found hanging out outside of work with Adriann or Kyra, or just the two of them bar hopping or doing stupid shit.
“Don’t pretend you’re even interested,” Some of the first words he'd said to Heart after over half a year of not seeing him were that, while he was suspended from chains in the middle of an interrogation room. The two of them weren't particularly close, seeing as Miller kept Connla seperated from the majority of the rest of the Ice Storms unless necessary, but the two of them were placed on many jobs together back when he was a storm and the two of them worked very well together and were somewhat friends. When Connla got captured again after defecting, Heart was assigned as his main interrogator and he systematically aided the Ice Storms in breaking Connla down to his barebones physically and mentally.
