M's Links
He talks a lot for her tastes and his attempts to be lighthearted come off as odd, but M does like him. At first she warily eyed him up and down because he's another demon, but him treating her and her mother well got her to lighten up eventually. It also helps that she could clock he's neurodivergent himself, since him talking a lot reminds her of a school peer with ADHD that, to her, genuinely didn't know how to stop talking.
Babies being abandoned or worse for looking human is unfortunately a common form of bigotry in Hell, so Cervus is especially glad that M got saved and cared for. He knows he talks a lot for her tastes, but he can't quite help it since it's that mutual neurodivergent urge to unmask around her. He doesn't need to put on airs for her, since she both doesn't care and/or it whooshes right over her head from being too vague.
SHII was quiet but welcoming, so M bonded with him much quicker, even more so since her suspicions about him also being autistic were confirmed by SHII himself. She's fine with him talking a lot with her when he feels manic or is hyperfixating, since his energy is generally a bit more compatible with hers and their ease of bonding through parallel play helps balance it out.
He got attached to M really quickly, especially since she's also autistic like him and gets his sensory issues that others around him don't, like clothes feeling bad to wear. He sometimes feels bad about it when he gets manic or hyperfocused and word vomits to her, but he's relieved that she doesn't mind it. He can sit with her in comfortable silence for hours, with only occasional breaks when he gets her attention to show her something or ask her a question.
