"He's a funny guy. Seems like he really needs to chill out, ya know? I enjoy spending time with him. He could be really cute if he just mellowed a bit..."
Ugh, why is he, like, so dumb? He KNOWS his dad is gonna kill him if he sees him hanging out with a dragon. Yanno, a dragon like me? Especially like me, because I'm, like, a dragon specifically to stop them?? Ugh... Does he WANT to die? Now I gotta be the jerkface to him to get him to stop being such a stupid dude.
"She used to be such a jerk, but to be fair I was also a jerk too. I think the more time that passes the more I'm starting to really like her. I don't know why, because she's actually... Kind of still a jerk, actually. But she's a funny one."
"My dad was really the first person in my family to actually want me around. I know he's doing bad things right now, but I like to think he could change. I mean, I changed... Didn't I? Everyone can change."
I met Austin-Tin-Man when I was trapped as a bird-bird-mockingbird. I... still struggle with my speech --freedom of speech-- but he somehow looks past all that --back to the future-- and we're best friends. He protected me even when he was so scared. I'm so grateful we can play Pokemon and just... be.
"I like Dora. She's my friend. I wish I could help her more. I don't know what to do to make things better for her..."
"He's kind of awful, I think. I don't know what he wants from me. He probably doesn't care that much."
My son... I only hope that he will not suffer as much as his mother has had to. Perhaps one day, he will be useful to me... And maybe then, I can bring myself to express how much I do care for him.
Poor kid... He got sucked into the corporate life almost as young as I did. I just hope he won't make the same mistakes I have. I've made... So many mistakes.
"He's slightly frightening... But not as scary as Dr Fontaine. I don't know why he's always smiling."
Ever since Newt had boarded her ship he realised that Grace's role as captain could not have been filled better by anyone else. Despite their rough beginnings he came to respect her greatly and it was not long before this respect turned into admiration and admiration turned into the beginnings of love.
Now Grace's partner in secret he still maintains his incredible respect for her, but sees her as more of an equal. He cares for her perhaps more than he cares for anyone else, and she is the only person he has ever truly felt any sort of romantic or physical attraction towards.
Newt is shorter than Grace and younger, however he's not ashamed of this in the slightest.
He enjoys spending time with her and telling her stories, and in many ways she is his reason for existing.
Grace was mistrusting of Newt at first, as she was of many of her crewmates when they each first joined. However, after the accident that caused the both of them to become merfolk, Grace found herself growing attached to Newt in spite of the fact that she'd previously wanted to cast him overboard.
At first, she thought it was an effect of the curse. Later on, though, she realised she had become rather enamoured with Newt's cheerful optimism and acceptance. Worried at first that she would be spurned for experiences in her past, Grace was still uncomfortable and uneasy around Newt. Once she learnt that he did not care about that, though, she softened quite a bit towards him.
Grace is Newt's partner secretly, and she constantly worries about what the crew would think, should they find out; she loves Newt, of course, but she does not want to risk the crew's mutiny (and risk both she and Newt getting thrown over by the other inhabitants of the ship).
Grace enjoys reading to Newt when she is human, and though she actively avoids turning into a mer, she does enjoy being one when only the two of them are around.
Because of her experiences in the past, Newt is the only person Grace truly trusts. Therefore, he is the only one she has ever truly felt an emotional attraction towards. She may be able to say a man is handsome, but she can say no more than that in his favour, normally.
Grace usually only holds extended conversations with Newt, and without him, it is likely she would have reverted to being a wild, feral mermaid a long time ago.
