Originally, Es was furious with Moth when they met up again. He blamed the High Court Member for abandoning him and taking the rest of their family with him, but over time began to remember why the two had been so close in first place. After Moth fully joined the Enders, the two started to work together- since Es was the only one who could fully utilized Moth's contract. Afterwards, feelings started to crop up again, and before long Es was angry with himself for feeling that way. He adores Moth, but struggles with the fact that Moth is always in pain, and for some reason (Thanks to the Corruption), that pain makes Es feel... better? He doesn't want to, and because of that refuses to be around Moth when the other man is suffering...
Moth has been in love with Esquire for a long, long time, but realized that Esquire's anger with him made things complicated. It wasn't until Moth managed to fully prove his innocence that the two were able to better get along again, and before then, Es tended to treat Moth cruelly. For the longest time, Esquire was the only person Moth trusted enough to be useful in his contract, and as such, Moth would follow any order Es gave him. Now the two are a lot more gentle with each other, though Es's sadistic side often gets the best of him. M understands why Es won't come comfort him when he's in pain, but often wishes that his love was able to stomach the feeling enough to be with him...
Originally, Roman was one of the only ones who would actually sit with Moth during the bouts of terrible pain that Moth would have to sit through. He would keep the smaller man close and do what he could to ease the pain at all. Due to this, both grew quite close, and eventually Roman spoke up about the way he was starting to feel. Since, the two have considered each other lovers, and are oddly soft with each other. Roman prefers to treat Moth with a level of delicacy, since he feels that most don't consider the pain Moth goes through in how he's treated.
It took a while for M to feel like he understood Roman. There was something that contrasted in his mannerisms and all around good nature and the desire he had to kill all living things, but eventually it struck M that it wasn't exactly Roman who thought that- but The Rot in his mind. They began to talk more, and eventually, Roman was the first to come into a room after a long fight where Moth was suffering through his pain. Roman held him close and spoke to him- even when Moth couldn't himself thanks to the pain... This continued long enough, and before long, they were getting closer and closer. Moth came to truly trust Roman, and now he is one of only two who can use Moth's contract. At some, feelings spread, and now the two call each other lovers.
Es and Roman used to argue rather frequently, or at least Es would get easily frustrated with Roman, who would just laugh it off. However, over time, the two slowly began to talk more often, with both concerned over the thoughts The Hatred was giving them with some level of force. After both started dating Moth, they began to work together even more often, and before long Roman was admitting that he wanted to try dating Es as well. Es was reluctant at first- feeling a polyam relationship might get in his way, but overtime let his feelings win out in the matter. Roman is just as gentle with Es as he is with Moth, but more because he realizes that Es actually can't deal with any sort of being treated harshly...
Roman used to call Es out quite often, and that would only cause Es more frustration. He tried to argue with Roman- off put by just how cheery the other could be. Before long they started to talk a little more genuinely- especially about Es's relationship with Moth, and when Roman was able to aid in Moth's suffering where Es couldn't- there was a lot of guilt to be found. The two discuss the way The Corruption is warping them often, and after both started dating Moth- Es found himself starting to feel similarly about Roman. It took a bit of time for him to accept it when Roman asked if they could date as well. Es originally feared that too much love in his life might somehow break his goals, but... Now all three are together, and Es quietly appreciates that Roman treats him with a kindness he has very rarely experienced.
There is something absolutely terrifying about that High Court member. Candor has long been close friends with a different one, but the level of physical strength and magical prowess Moth shows is unnerving at best. Given the option, Candor tends to want to avoid Moth in a fight, if only because of this. However, he's noticed the soft way that Moth behaves outside of a fight, and wonders just how badly The Hatred has truly affected the Fae's mind... He's hopeful that, maybe... With a little convincing... Moth might be able to turn around for the better
Moth tends to distrust any person who claims to be a Chosen One... While Candor has never directly claimed such, Moth still can't bring himself to much like the guy. They have had to fight on many occasions- often with Moth under Es's commands, and Candor is a bit tricky for Moth. Still, he has a small level of respect for the Devourer, and at least sometimes notices that Roman seems to feel a connection with him. Moth has admitted that, if nothing else... he would feel rather bad if Candor were killed.
It isn't uncommon for Es and Candor to get into direct fights with one another. Neither hold back when they do, either. Candor has admitted in quiet voices that he can see a touch of himself in Es, and that only bothers him more. Something in the giddy sadists nature bothers Candor and reminds him of his own issues being a Devourer. Still, he keeps his wits about him and has managed to keep Es's plans from fully working most times. He's muttered in the past that, maybe, if he and Es were on the same side they could learn to understand each other, but... sadly they are far from it.
Candor is one of the possible Chosen Ones and as such, is one of the targets the Enders are supposed to be eliminating. Es has never quite understood why it is that they Ones so often get away, and thinks Candor may, indeed, but part of the reason. He admires the way Candor fights, and has commented that if they were on the same side, he believes they might get along. Unfortunately, they are not on the same side, and as such Candor is a thorn in Es's side...
Roman is an enemy, but Candor often wishes he didn't have to be. Candor can see the way The Hatred is twisting Roman, and wishes that he could find a way to fight it more. While the two often argue and fight- if only because Roman's twisted mind makes him say things Candor can't help but hate, they do occasionally have peaceful moments where they can sit and talk. When they do, they often find they have similar traumas caused by their people, and can get along quite well... Sadly, normally they have no choice but to actively fight each other- as they are on two opposite sides of what direction they want to take the world.
Both Roman and Candor come from the same species, and lived near each other as children- though they never got to meet. Now that they are on opposite sides, they frequently have to fight, but there is a level of understanding there. Candor usually tries to sway Roman away from The Hatred, but its hold on Roman is... extremely strong. Roman has also made efforts to convince Candor that he is doing good, but that has only resulted in small arguments between the two. When they don't necessarily have to fight, the two sometimes sit and talk about their people, and the negative experiences both have had with them... They... don't want to have to kill each other.
Moth is largely disobedient and generally speaking somewhat rebellious, which can be frustrating in a subordinate... However, Quan Fei can't bring himself to feel any anger toward Moth. He's been hurt in ways that make him loathe doing what others ask, and he trusts so few. Quan Fei understands that- more through Es than anything else. He is quick to forgive any disobedience, but insists that Moth stick with Es, if only to mitigate any possible issues with his rebellious nature. The two are good enough friends, and can talk at length, though... Quan Fei wonders why it is that Moth is so often stiff with him...
Quan Fei is Moth's boss, though Moth doesn't always do as he says. If nothing else, M is glad that Quan Fei seems understanding enough of that, and unlike M's other boss, doesn't try to force such things. The two get along relatively well, with Moth generally being friendly to Quan Fei. He's noticed that Quan Fei isn't as open to physical affections thanks to his haphephobia, but struggles with it- thanks to being just a physical person himself. Still, the two consider each other good friends, and Moth just tries to hold his hands behind his back when they spend time together...
Quan Fei thinks of Esquire as one of his closest friends. The two often train together as a way of relieving emotional stress, and Quan Fei is glad that someone is so willing to spar with him when he's feeling agitated. The two can sometimes be seen sitting and speaking with each other in quieter voices- usually to convey their issues and worries to each other. Since both are a little more closed off, it's good for them actually talk and get things off their chests. Esquire is one of few people that Quan Fei actually tells about his relationship with Feng Li when the two start dating...
Quan Fei is one of the few people who Es genuinely thinks of as a close friend. While Quan Fei can be easily agitated, and at times is explosive with his rage, Esquire understands those feelings and is usually able to put up with them regardless of their direction. The two are often seen sitting and talking to one another, and Esquire can confide in his true feelings and worries with Quan Fei. They usually train together as a means to relieve any anger or tension they may feel when working, and it does wonders for their health- oddly enough. They are strangely open to talking about their relationships with each other as well... Which doesn't seem to be the case with literally anyone else.
Quan Fei is never completely sure what to do with Candor. The two are intended to be enemies- what with Candor being a possible Chosen One, but... Feng Li loves Candor, and Quan Fei has a hard time bringing himself to hunt Candor as hard as he does some of the other Ones. There have been times where the two have crossed paths where they have sat and spoken- and in those moments, Quan Fei has found their bickering more friendly and enjoyable than particularlly hateful...
Candor originally quite dislikes Quan Fei, thinking that he is in some way manipulating Feng Li into working with the Enders. Over time, though, he realizes that Quan Fei is yet another example of someone infected with The Hatred that is trying to fight back against it. He is still on the other side, but Candor hopes that maybe with a little effort, Quan Fei could be swayed just as Feng Li could... The two get along at times, and are able to talk, but normally not much before a fight breaks out between their two sides.
Quan Fei considers Roman a good friend, who he often questions why is working with the Enders. Yes, he realizes that Roman wants to purify the world be eradicating all life, but... He also realizes that Roman doesn't seem to want that as much as The Malice is making him think he does. The two have discussed how they feel about the world, and Quan Fei knows that Roman finds the world generally beautiful, and is just... upset with the fact that even non-infected people can do evil... The two are close friends, and Quan Fei enjoys taking walks with and talking to Roman. It isn't uncommon for him to simply relax near Roman while the Grand Weaver gardens.
Roman has always far preferred Quan Fei to his other boss, Shun Tao, if only because Quan Fei, while quick to snap and bark, isn't as bossy. The two are able to sit and talk at times, and even enjoy each other's company when they have moments of peace. In terms of working together, Roman has noted that his methods of fighting don't mix as well with Quan Fei's but they do make efforts to work together when they can't split off into their own teams. Roman generally just enjoys Quan Fei's presence, and the two often note that they consider each other good friends.
Moth and Feng Li get along shockingly well. The two can often be seen walking along together and chatting, with Feng Li being the calmer of the two. They genuinely enjoy Moth's presence, though they worry a bit about the extreme pain he often goes through and what it might be doing to his mental state. There's little they can do, though, so they just do what they can to support and be friends with the Fae. It isn't uncommon for people to think the two are dating, if only because Moth is so touchy feeling, and Feng Li has never mind cuddling and napping.
Moth quite enjoys Feng Li. The two are often seem chatting together- Moth flitting from place to place while Feng Li trots along behind him. They seem to have similar issues with The Rot, and Moth just feels glad to have such a close friend. Sadly, he can't quite bring himself to fully trust Feng li- having seen the way they will often wander off on their own to talk to people on the other side of things... Still, he wants them to be close friends, and notes that the level of trust his contract requires is a bit excessive anyway...
Feng Li really enjoys the time that they get to spend with Roman. The two of them are some of the more social members of The Enders, and as such often chat with each other, as well as take walks into nearby cities just to get to see what's going on. It isn't uncommon for them to go shopping together, garden together, or just relax around each other. They're open to talking about their concerns with each other as well, which is good for both of them. The only worries for Feng Li is the level of Calamity Infection Roman shows... They worry quite a lot that if Roman only keeps getting worse, he's going to lose himself completely...
Roman actually quite adores Feng Li. He thinks that the man is extremely kind and sweet, and the two will sit and talk with each other for quite a long time when they can. They enjoy going into town together- since Roman is able to hide more easily than most and Feng Li has always been one to wander into town given the option. They usually come back laughing and giggling. The only issues is that Roman is a bit scared of fire, and therefore struggles when he sees Feng Li try to use his magic. Ironically, this has resulted in him encouraging Feng Li not to use The Hatred, which... many of the others question.
Feng Li is aware of the awkwardness that often hangs in the room with they are around Esquire, but can't exactly blame the unicorn for it. They've seen the way he gets so giddy when someone is hurt, and knows that it bothers him whenever the pain is inflicted on someone he considers a friend. As far as they're concerned, the awkwardness is just proof that Es actually cares about them as a friend. They appreciate, if nothing else, that Quan Fei is so close with Es, and often refers to him as Quan Fei's best friend.
Es is a little unsure what to do with Feng Li often times. They have been assigned to work stealthier jobs together, and Feng Li is very useful in a fight, but Es often finds himself struggling to cope with the way that Feng Li's magic burns them. It gives him a rush he doesn't want- especially when they are supposed to be working together to fight someone. Still, he often will talk to Feng Li, and the two are good enough friends. Es knows more about Feng Li from his conversations with Quan Fei than from Feng Li themself, but that has only sort of biased him to think better of Feng Li, if anything.
At first, all Feng Li wanted was for Quan Fei to teach him how to use The Calamity so that they could impress their father, but over time, they found themself more and more interested in him. They start to propose small games so they could get to know each other- such as answering a question for a question or two truths and a lie, which helped the two start to understand each other more. At some point, feelings were exchanged, and now Feng Li finds that they often are one of few who can comfort Quan Fei when he truly needs it... In return, he is usually there to help when The Calamity hurts them, and speaks in soft voices that he does, truly, love them.
Originally, Quan Fei agreed to train Feng Li in the use of The Malice so that Feng Li would agree to work for him. Over time, the two began to talk more and more and learned more about each other, and before long, feelings started to develop. Quan Fei is often too proud to be extremely overt about his feelings, but Feng Li was one of the very first people he felt comfortable allowing to touch him. He tends to steal Feng Li away to more private places and hold them close- especially on the days where things are harder on him...
Candor and Feng Li met right before they met Quan Fei, and the two hit it off extremely well. Candor rather quickly noticed the marks of The Calamity, but didn't assume Feng Li would be evil because of them. As time has gone on and Feng Li switched to the other side, they have occasionally sneaked out to see Candor, who always tries to sway them to join him and the other Chosen Ones. Feng Li always turns him down, though.. The two are very clearly in love, and Feng Li has been upfront with his feelings... It's just hard with them fighting for different sides.
Candor originally hired Feng Li when he and the other Ones visited a Chimera city, resulting in the two hitting it off quite well. Candor couldn't help but notice the marks of The Hatred on Feng Li, and was immediately only more interested in getting to know the Tri-Hound. He realized Feng Li could help him prove what he had been searching for, since they clearly had their mind still under control, but before long, Feng Li joined The Enders in order to have Quan Fei train them. Since, the two have had a somewhat forbidden relationship. Candor has very strong feelings for Feng Li, but is upset that they are helping bring about, quite literally, the end of the world. Still, the two will often meet each other in secret and Candor is always silently glad to see Feng Li alive and well... As well as trying to bring them to his side.
He's a bit of a mystery, I admit. Even though we talk often, he is still not prone to opening up. I've always taken that as him being just a man of few words, though... And, well, I do seem to know a bit more about him than most. He sometimes suddenly opens up to me, and when he does, I'm a bit touched. I think he sees similarities in us, and I admit, I see them too. It makes him feel more comfortable than many others would be...
My family does complain about me staying around him too much, but they can shove off with it. It's rare I can bring myself to admit a closeness like I have with him, and he's far too important a friend to me for me to let the Silvers or the Enigmatic try to take him. I always look forward to our talks, no matter how much or how little is actually said... What can I say, somehow, for a man of his size and intimidation factor, he has always been something of a comfortable presence for me.
Hias is one of few I can call an incredibly close companion. Both of us understand forced servitude to a family, as well as what it means to be low among that family... As such, we have come to take a level of comfort in the familiarity. He is, when not busy, deeply interesting to simply speak with, and I enjoy him so much more than I know how to word. Given the option, I would love to find a way that he can ascend in his family beyond his current... 'fated' position.
All that aside, though, Hias is a kind creature. We both understand animals better than people, and often simply stroll the nights listening to what the beasts have to say. His company is calming, and I admit it eases even my usually erratic blood to a better still. I could not ask for a better friend.
Never thought I'd see him again, not going to lie. I mean, the Apathetic had me solidly convinced I had horribly murdered him like they told me I was supposed to. I figured, you know, closest thing to a brother I ever had was gone and I'd just have to accept that. I tried to move on unfeeling like they wanted, but it didn't work out great, as you can clearly see. To think, I tried to drown his death in every drink I could find, and he was alive that whole time.
It's nice to see him. We've both changed a lot, but that's to be expected. He's still snarky, and he still cries a lot more than maybe he should. He's also still an expert when it comes to the way things taste, which I can't help but be happy about! He can make drinks for me that don't mess with my mind as much and... that's good for me, so, no complaints. I'm glad to have my little brother back, even if we're both a little awkward.
... I can't believe after everything he's alive. Twice now I've whole heartedly believed I killed him, but no... He's alive and well. Mind you, once I truly DID kill him, but by the power of the most taboo magic there is, he's back. It's not as though I didn't participate in that taboo as well, and I won't deny my happiness of seeing my brother again.
He's... still loud and still comes up with dangerous schemes- something you'd think I would be more prone to with my Inventor class. I appreciate it, though. He's been kind about my scars- apologized for my eye more times than I can count. I've explained it's been more boon than bane, but he... worries. He always has. I'm very happy to be able to see him again... And I swear, if someone tries to make the third time the charm with him dying, I will be starting a war of my own.
It's... been a long time. Eros used to light up my life with just a smile, but I admit that it can be hard for me to see him now. He didn't recall who I was for so hauntingly long, and I had to think back and forth on if that was for the better or not. In the end, he seemed happier without the suffering he's been through, but... I still missed him selfishly. Even with him, having to rebuild all of that has been so hard.
Don't misunderstand, he does remember now, and I admit there was some guilt there when he DID remember but... hearing apologies for everything has made it a bit less painful. I'm so happy to see him again. He struggles with the difference in what he's like now and what he was like before, but at least he still smiles. He's learned to love the world again, and I adore that. I adore him.
I've had a hard time parsing everything of my past that Price locked away, I admit. Kress is a large part of that. It was his disappearance- his betrayal that lead to my eventual downfall as a Holy Knight. I spent so long searching for him. I wanted desperately to redeem myself in the eyes of the church, but more than that, I just wanted to see him okay. I always told myself I could kill him... I never could have. He had been my only friend in Gunna. After I ended up unable to continue my knighthood- near executed.... I suppose I emulated his escape from the kingdom as well.
Now we're together again and there's a lot of guilt there. I decided to hate him just because he made a choice to worship that Wolf, or at least to run away from him. I should have protected him... defended him. At least tried to help, but I didn't. He doesn't seem at all upset by that though. He's seemed so happy to see me, but so sad at the same time. I think my lost memories were bothering him more than he let on... Still, I'm glad to be with him again. Much more so to be able to understand my feelings toward him better as well.
Camus, uhh... I mean, we're friends, but sometimes I'm not completely sure how. The two of us are kind of night and day, you know? It's super odd that we can get along like we do. I'm blunt, he hides everything... He's a pacifist, I like fighting shit for fun. It's a lot of different heres and theres, but when we sit down and talk we get along damn well. I really appreciate that about the guy.
He's a little messed up headwise these days, but I get it. Not knowing who you are and always worrying who you are isn't right must be rough. I'm glad he's started to find himself even if it's among a bunch of renegades. I had to be cast out of my home to start to find a real one too, so it's something I get sorta. I'm proud of him for taking a leap that scary. We still meet up sometimes and we always have nice chats when we do. I just let him do most of the talking.
Hmm, how to put this... When we first met, I judged Kas a lot. I deemed him this uncouth, unintelligent beast who just wouldn't control himself. As time went on, though, I have... come to respect that about him, oddly. I don't think he is as unintelligent as many say, and his brash nature is impressive. I envy just how willing he is to share his heart with others. He knows what he's about. That's something I couldn't say for myself without knowing it's a huge lie.
We're quite close friends. We do butt heads at times. I mean, he's just so headstrong and confident it would be hard not to, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. We both tend to learn from our disagreements, or at least get to pick on the other for being wrong if we were right. I appreciate him more than I know how to say, really.
He's such an arrogant douche. I'd really love to clock him, but I figure that would just cause me more trouble than anything. He's smart, and he uses his smarts just to brag. Talk about a pain in the ass. I'd love to be the one to knock him off his high horse, but I'm trying to at the very least bide my time so as to keep myself from causing major issues...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to bother holding back if he makes me mad enough. The guy's got issues, and I don't care if I'm an informant, knight, or damn king of something, I'll absolutely sock a guy who talks like him if he doesn't shut up enough for me... He's lucky the only person he's insulted around me is me right now, or he would have gotten himself multiple knuckle sandwiches already.
... He aggravates me. I have grown more able to deal with him with time, but his loyalty to his rotten kingdom is beyond obnoxious. I admit, there are times where I find amusement in him, though. He's amusingly pathetic at times, what with his deep desire for revenge against who he thinks is the killer of his only love. I don't mind watching him chase Meteora around, mind, but I do have to put a stop to it now and then.
I admit, I think he may be a bit fun to fight. I'm capable enough at a range, so his bow should provide little threat... Perhaps I just think him curious. The people of his kingdom have called him a genius and prodigy- all words that were used for me in my own long ago. Maybe I see bits of myself in him, but where I shine bright he's just... a bit too dull. It might be nice to just get to punch him in the face once or twice...
Xay is loud, and at times, painfully annoying. I am never sure just how to deal with his near-constant chatter, nor how to respond to his level of fanaticism. I admit, he can be a bit much for me, even as someone who has long cast aside my concerns with murder as a sin. Xay just takes it a step farther than I am used to... I recognize, however, that there is reason to his seeming madness. He doesn't slaughter indiscriminately as the rumors say... One might even say he is shockingly choosy.
He also obeys better than any other than Sik. As long as he can provide blood for Xabil, he is willing, and follows orders to shocking detail. He seems daft, but he's got a sharper wit than most notice. I appreciate that. He's... a friend I cannot always be around, but a friend regardless. He fits DNA perfectly as well, especially now that we have... warped a bit.
Ahaha! I know for certain I annoy Price quite often, but it's of no concern to me. Annoying him is actually quite enjoyable in the moment, so I sometimes make sure to talk just a bit louder on purpose to make it worse for him. I just can't help it! He looks so hilarious with his brows pushes together as he tries to focus on this or that. Truly, I could only think something like that about someone who's really captured my trust, though. Price is a great man, if a bit too high up on his pedestal at times.
He's my boss sometimes. I do what he says because it's no skin off my back, but he's probably had to realize by now that he will never fully control me. Xabil's my only real boss, after all, and even the two of us are more like old friends. Price doesn't seem to mind that though, so the two of us are golden. I want what he does in the long run, and seeing eye to eye to eye is always best when you're dealing with a mentalist, I'd say.
He's kind for a man who struggles so much with his arrogance. He tries to play himself off as a criminal worth fearing, but when push comes to shove he's the kind of man who will retrieve a child's lost ball from the woods without a second thought. He wishes he were as terrifying as me from a first glance... Perhaps that's part of why he concerns himself so much with the difference in our heights.
He does his best to help me feel that I belong. It isn't always effective, but I appreciate the gesture regardless. There are times where he points out the things I don't want to think about, but I know he doesn't mean them with harm. He has always been there as a friend, and I consider him quite a close one, even if he is also my boss. If I were not in DNA, I would likely still be alone... So I am happy to have him and the rest of them. It's nice to feel less alone.
Ilron is an interesting man. He's taller than me, and I admit, I hate that. I never thought I would meet a man who could even get close to matching my height, but I suppose someone with as much beast in him as Ilron has is... a fair man to beat it. His absolutely towering size aside, Ilron is kinder than one might expect. His exterior is rough. The scales and fangs give the idea he could bite like any other viper, but he would really rather not. He talks a bigger game than he walks- like a rattlesnake or a cobra... Just making themselves seem scarier.
He's loyal and I enjoy his company. I respect the way he's turned out despite what I know this land would have done to him. I admit... it can be difficult to hold a conversation with him at times, but that doesn't change my feelings. He is a treasured friend, and one that I would not dream of treating poorly. I just hope I can make DNA somehow inviting to him instead of it just being the only option he has...
He's a cold, dead shell of man. There's barely anything about him that's even worth talking about just to be frank. However, I... will acknowledge that he's useful. He works well for DNA and since he recognizes that I could kill him, he's willing to do what I say. Oddly, he does at times complain, though you would think that it wouldn't bother him.
It's things like that which remind me there's something in there. There had to be a reason for him to have turned out this way. I can tell as a mentalist that his mind is tampered with, and I can only guess it was his own magic to blame. I can't fix that, though. I don't know what he's used that magic to block off... But I know that I almost pity him at times. I swear I can see flinches in his hands at times. It's like there's something he's repressed, and I wish my own abilities could bring that back out. Sadly, I think he may be the only one who can... And somewhere inside, I think he wanted to be this way.
He's a man with a great deal of power, and as such, provides mental stimulation of some sort. He leads this group with a steel grip that cannot be shaken, which may become aggravating at times to... a more emotional man. However, I can recognize that he may be able to further my perfection, so I do not mind.
He does interrupt my work often with pointless orders. He is needlessly fanatical about a great deal of what he does. He insists there is a furthering he can see in human kind should they be pressured, and I am at the very least interested to see where such thoughts lead him. I doubt he will stay alive making an enemy of himself, and should he die I will.... I... Will... Move on. Simple as that.
Camus is a bit stiff, I admit. He's always been so strict seeming, and when I was younger it intimidated me just a bit, but now I've come to realize it's all he's really ever known. It must have been hard growing in Vagh the way he did. Surrounded by violence and yet staunchly refusing to be part of it... It really is a work of some divinity that he made it through all the Knight's Tests he had to go through.
That aside, though, Camus is gentle hearted. He is willing to sit and listen, and will nurse even the cruelest seeming people back to health. Sure, he may complain as he does it, but he'll still heal them regardless. I can't help but admire that now that he's away from Vagh. The two of us both know a taste of what it's like to have betrayed our homes... I'm glad to not be alone in it, and to have a friend I know I can whole-heartedly trust in Adorix.
Meteora... What to say of him, really? It was more than a bit upsetting when I thought he was dead. I admit, when I first went to Dalin had no intention of looking to make friends, but... Something about him drew me to him. We talked and I found that his opinions were sound and solid. It was hard not to like him, at least for me. From there, we just started talking more. When I would work in Dalin I would often come across him. Sometimes we would work together, even. It was nice... Having someone I knew I could trust completely by my side.
Now things are a bit more complex. I mean, both of us have fled our homes for one reason or another, though mine is more selfish I suppose. We both joined what can only be considered the ranks of criminals, and now we're just trying to live despite that. We do still see each other time to time, and when we do, it's still the same. Old friends getting to see each other, just in an odder time. I truly appreciate him and his kind heart. I hope that comes across despite my sometimes harsh words.
Kas and I have trusted each other for a pretty long time. When I was younger, I misjudged him a bit, I think. I always thought he was confusing. He would take long pauses when he spoke or just stop suddenly without explaining why, and that didn't make sense to me. I realized after some time that he was probably a more physical talker than most, but that doesn't convey well to me... Plus, he's just not the kind of guy to speak with flourish, which is okay.
Now we're really good friends. Kas ended up finding that I had faked my death pretty early on, but kept my promise despite thinking it was a stupid thing to hide. I really appreciate that he's willing to listen to my own desires for myself, regardless of his own opinions some times. Even more so, I'm glad he's always there to lend me a hand if I really need it. I trust him with my life.
Meteora's an outcast misfit type just like me. I used to get mad just hearing the people in town whisper low about him- spreading rumors about his dad or what have you. It was annoying that so many people would either pity him or hate him and there didn't seem to be a lot of in between. I don't think are either right. The guy deserve to be treated right just because of how kind he is, nothing more nothing less.
We're good friends. The guy's got a better head on his shoulders than me most days, even if I think he doesn't always use it. He's sharp and makes up for any little flaw he's got with quick thinking where I make up for it with brute force. We make a good team. I wish he'd... I dunno, come back to Dalin. Talk to his old friends and tell them the truth, but... He says that he shouldn't. I gotta take it the way he says it, even if I don't really like it.
