Jadakir has been fond of the former Absalom guard since their first meeting during his overnight stay in jail. While he isn't nearly as close with the paladin-in-training as Elah, even he can see how much they care for each other. And it's difficult to forget the emotional reunion between the two during their brief foray into the future. But although their interaction is somewhat limited, Jadakir still regards Mathias as part of his found family and would do anything he could for him if he ever found himself in need.
When someone whose job was to be suspicious of people opens up it means a lot. Mathias can see the brother-bond that Elah and Jadakir share and isn't put off by it. He is glad that there is someone in the fray with Elah to protect him when he charges in and he would gladly put an arrow into someone who insults Jadakir. He considers the Asterion a friend and knows Jadakir is accepting of him and Elah.
Torima is Yotusugima's little shit of a son.
Ah, what is there to say about her Little Bird? Her precious and beloved son? Yotsugima wishes he wasn't so quick to allow his temper to get the best of him, but she'll support him unconditionally when it does. She trusts Torima's judgment enough that he wouldn't pick a fight without a valid reason, after all. Even if she thinks he would be much better served responding with some well placed and particularly cutting words.
