Zippo's Links
Aaah, poor poor Zippo... How did a nice boy like him wind up with... well... them? Still, she's thankful in some ways. It gives Seth someone to interact with on his level. Whilst Pelt and Eer obviously both share in some of Seth's hobbies, they still joined the company under the vision of Seth as their boss - Zippo however... Zippo's a good example for Seth. A way of normalising him.
Diavolo does also have to admit, she does feel a sense of... well, almost a need to protect the boy. He's already seen a lot of hardship - and Diavolo fears that with Dragon Corp., there's always the worry he'll see more...
Zippo! Zippo's a good friend, and one who Seth feels he shares a lot in common with. After all, they're both beings who rather stand out in society - both with their own little... mutational problems. Zippo is a kindred spirit through-and-through.
Not only that, but he's, well, helpful! His time in Dragon Corp. has seen him take up a lot of responsibility for Seth, which has been greatly appreciated. Seth now just hopes he can return the favour and help the young man with his own problems... Perhaps they could find a mutual solution of sorts.
Vas can't pretend to ever've known Zippo all that well. Yes, they were friends but... it was more the matter of a shared social circle through which they got on rather than any mutual interests. The few times they did interact more directly one-on-one, they did get on - but Zippo's world of technology and explosives was far away from Vas' own.
Still, he does of course worry for him in recent days. Whilst Tsu supposedly knows where he is now, the whole situation is still kinda... uneasy? He tries not to really worry too much, but some nights his mind does wander to the matter.
