This is... a bit of an awkward subject.
On one hand, Jack is just some poor child that mad scientist Thiessen got ahold of, and no child deserves to be brainwashed from birth into being that horrible woman's slave and only fed by her will.
On the other... after kidnapping Alise, biting his foot, and making his ears bleed to the point he lost his hearing for an hour, he's not exactly inclined to be nice to the thing.
While Esrey may have nearly crushed Jack's throat in retaliation and had him taken prisoner, he also allowed for the child to be released under Alise's care in hopes of letting him start a new life. He's not the most friendly towards him because of their little clash, not to mention his tendency to dislike interacting with children overall, but he's willing to at least... try to get over it. If the kid shows improvement and doesn't cause any further trouble. At the end of the day, he pities the thing for its horrible situation, and he genuinely wants Jack to be able to realize that Thiessen is a cruel caretaker and that he deserves a better life than with her. But that's for Alise to do, because he's got little concept of how to talk to this one, even though he'll be stuck having to keep seeing him in her home.
Ah, this one. This one’s one of the good ones. Very loyal and has a lot of promise. Esredes doesn’t have a very personal opinion on Cypress beyond that, he is simply impressed by their work ethic as a nochmal soldier and finds them low maintenance to interact with and trustable.
Though this high opinion may be ruined to some degree if he ever finds out Cypress followed him without his knowing.... or if they do anything to hurt Alise in its wake.
Cypress respects Esredes as his higher up. He finds his dedication, strength, and unwavering will to be quite admirable.
However, upon finding out about his interactions with the human, Alise, he now distrusts Esrey to an extent. Cypress does well do hide his newfound skepticism, but now finds himself mingling more and more with the enemy...
They may become closer allies in the future...
Aclyone is Esredes's commander, the leader of the human resistance, and he holds a lot of respect for her for it. Being directly under her as second in command (at least from a military standpoint) is a position he ended up in due to his long history of battle, and beforehand he had never really interacted with the leader, but in adjusting to the change he has developed a deep sense of loyalty to her. Not just to his faction, but to her.
When they interact, it is usually on matters of business and he keeps it very professional, always willing to perform whatever task she asks of him. But beyond the professionalism of the relationship, he has also developed an emotional connection to her, in the sense that he cares for her wellbeing, but he'd rather not show it in front of her.
Regardless, they have a common goal in mind, and he will do everything to help her achieve it.
He also envies her for her size and power, but wouldn't ever admit this with her around.
You destroyed my girlfriend's forest, I will destroy your future. But not you physically because that'd be cruel.
He's annoying, but he's one of the last people that will tolerate her and her erratic behavior. Although he annoys her greatly, she values the time they spend together to some degree. She only wishes he'd stop trying to help her so damn much.
She thinks fondly of Jericho, and he's proven himself to her many times, as both a politician and a friend, so she has a great deal of trust in him. Rhea is also one of the few people Jericho has entrusted with his secret, and although she does not blame Jericho himself for being connected to the horrible tyrant known as Jun... as for his brother Ezekiel, that's another story.
Rhea is practically a mother figure to him. But she's also his boss so there's also that.
Has a great deal of respect for her and what she does.
When Rhea was at the absolute lowest point in her life many many years ago, Aclyone came to her rescue, and she has been indebted to her ever since. Aclyone has been her best friend for thousands of years, but admittedly Rhea's own feelings have gone beyond just "best friends." After years of these feelings not being reciprocated, however, she's gotten over it (though if Aclyone suddenly asked her out... she wouldn't say no.... just saying). Regardless, Aclyone is still very important to Rhea.
Probably one of her last and most loyal followers. Aclyone has taken quite the shine to Lise, but not in the way she would like. In a way, she sees her like a daughter. Definitely someone to protect. If anyone were to harm her, there would be dire consequences.
If mom ever asks about grandkids, she's her go to.

Aclyone is the first legendary Aruza's met besides Yveltal or Zygarde, after she approached xem about teaming up to take down Yve and her newly-created palace together. The two are both mutually not always the best at socialization and their time together tends to be on the quieter side, but Aruza is fine with this because hey having a space god that can make stuff is a nice unexpected ally.
Xe is also easily impressed by her creation abilities, and being around her is the first time that xe has felt like a child... tfw she's so much older than you; also, xe's grateful to her for both helping out and allowing xem to stay at her Cool Mansion-House, because it sure beats sleeping wherever was convenient. The two are basically legendary roommates for the time being.
...Also, Aruza can admit that Aclyone is hot. Even if Laomi is xyr one beauty and grace, xe can appreciate the fact that Aclyone's attractive.
The bros
Loves his brother dearly. Would probably march into hell for him.
After the split from the great dragon, Jericho was a bit hesitant about his "other half," but now he only usually has good things to say about him and is always quick to defend him.
