One of her closest childhood friends. Lost touch with when Skellr faded from the forest, but hopes to reconnect with. Someone she won't forget, regardless.
Cautiously regarded as a friend. To this day, still perplexed by his interest in her as she's, in her opinion, not much to take interest in. But even so is grateful for his company and accepts him whenever he finds his way to her side, still holds some reservations towards if only for their differences and takes his distance at times as wanting to be left alone or wanting time to spend with others, something she accepts. Knows very well how they're polar opposites in terms of their views on violence and while his tendencies to involve himself in unnecessary fights brings her a form of frustration, accepts that their lives brought them to different paths. Does take comfort in the quiet moments they share together and appreciates his continuous care for her, still holds some walls up to no fault of Rhys as she's hesitant of letting others too close into her life in fear of the hurt that might come from it. Cares for in her own, quiet ways.
“Come rest your bones next to me, and toss all your thoughts to the sea."
Both a valued companion and friend. Someone who he had, in past, always sought out when needing calmness and tranquility, but values her for far more than just that. Has found himself admiring her relaxed demeanor, especially with what hints of her past she's given him; of what she's hinted at going through and yet still remains gentle to the outside world. His opposite, in a sense; where he had become cruel and cunning from his past, she had become gentle and serene from hers. And because of their unique bond, she's perhaps the only friend of his he shows any signs of possessiveness towards, though this is usually only born when in the crowd he tends to circle around.
Has only recently been giving the doe more space and room, in hopes to not smother her. Worries his abrasive and violent tendencies will weigh too heavily on Yumi; a new found guilt in not wanting to remind her of her traumas. Even still, cannot fully stay away from her, as he already draws far too much comfort from their friendship and - perhaps foolishly - hopes she can derive some sort of safety from his presence. However now gives her the choice to reach out to the Night Terror or if she would rather remain distant. Is fully responsive to whatever Yumi does, as he undeniably has always held a soft spot for her, and treats her far more tenderly than any of his other friendships.

Associated with her sibling Mo. Has spent some time with and is somewhat curious of, especially after recent events that's come to light. Might not seek out very often, but wouldn't turn his company down should he find her.
Originally approached based on her resemblance to Mo, and discovered she was Mo's sister. But their conversing has left him with an interest in her in her own right. Curiosity. Similar initial eerie draw that pulled him to the Violet. Now that his relationship is fractured with Mo, he has some hesitancy in approaching her. Finds that she is still friendly towards him, so it wears down some of that hesitancy. Still, remains a bit guarded with.

A quiet companion initially that turned into something more in-depth. Has invited her back a couple of times to his world for drinks and companionship that is not tied or burdened to anything heavy. Appreciates her company in every world offered, finding it a sort of calm, that he is not expected anything of or given a feeling of need for depth when it is not sought. Their relationship is viewed as both shallow and deep, a perfect blend and harmony of both for the Captain. An easy presence sought for the lulls of his storms when he is not right for therapy chatter.
