Vakkarian's Links
Dublin is like an anchor. He reserves his right to speak unless he really means it, & Vakk greatly appreciates his input when his words are chosen. He's also very intrigued with this "affliction" that Dublin has. It's beautiful, so he doesn't see the problem, but Dublin has explained that he may someday speak even less & not be himself. As such, Vakk cherishes their time. Dublin was the only one that stood by him after his ex came back to town as well.
Vakk has a deep respect for Kiyo. The way that Kiyoshi doesn't focus on the would haves or the could haves is greatly inspiring to him. Of anyone that Vakk knows, Kiyoshi has known loss just as intimately, & ultimately, in a more personal & physical way. Vakkarian strives for the kind of self control his cousin has.
