He can't afford to get under her skin thanks to her regular customer status, which means her kindness and willingness to drag him into a chasm-diving party's shenanigans gets under his skin. Though she is competent, he'll give her that.
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Latonya thinks Arima is a pretty cool guy, actually. Granted, the vast majority of her interactions with him have been at the flower shop where she's a regular. She has enough awareness to recognize that he kind of has to be nice to her because of this and she shouldn't be over-familiar (even though it's nice to recognize someone in the newness of the Chasms), but there's no reason not to be friendly!
Being one of the first Chasms divers Ivory has met, Milana makes it undoubtedly clear that the sudden influx of supernatural monsters has put many on guard. And while he knows that she, among others, are doing it for her safety, he can't help but want to alleviate some of those fears, even if a little.
More recently, Milana (alongside Claude) have been experimenting on the watches that summon persona, and Ivory, always curious, has been actively helping out. While he does wonder if him absolutely not being human effects some of the test results, he figures having a niche case might help to broaden their research.
Ponzu primarily knows Milana through the chasms incident, and the two of them relate well due to similar work backgrounds. While he's begun to wonder what her workplace has been up to, he trusts at the least that Milana will make sure things don't veer into anything dangerous.
Sybil's a bit of a downer, sure, but he knows a lot about a lot of things which Pandora can respect! Even though he's reminiscent of the figures from home who dismayed at her passions, Sybil has supported her through it and even helped her improve them in some ways. She just can't tell him this, he'd never let her live it down.
"You'll go far, I'm sure. Just be sure to be cautious when it matte--and she's off again." Sybil has respect for Pandora and her techniques, but still worries due to her brash actions.
Silas is super cool, running around with that group of performers! There are so many Laguz and Branded and Beorc together, and while they obviously don't always agree they still care for each other. Caz likes to think it's just like the Meihua. Silas will fit in great!
Silas finds Caz naive, but well-intentioned. He tries to fuel Caz's optimism in hopes that a little of it rubs off of Silas in turn, and keeps a watchful eye to ensure that he comes out of the combats they get into unscatched. Definitely sees Caz like one of the performers, and would be open to letting him join if he ever expressed the interest.
Silas finds it funny that Caz can't even muster the courage to confess to the girl he likes, but doesn't tease him too much about the ordeal.
Silas obviously gets his kicks from poking fun at the others' serious demeanors, so she can appreciate his levity. Him and Caz tumbling around can be distracting at best, but it could be much much worse so she'll take it.
Bullies Valdsam, which is plus. Audrey's eccentric nature is a bit curious at best, but he generally finds conversation with her entertaining, at the least.
He's another one of Fleto's ilk, just like Caz, but he seems much more levelheaded than Caz so hopefully he won't cause as much trouble. In fact, that levelheadedness is much appreciated considering the rest of the new recruits...
Silas tries to keep his sass in check given that she's his boss, but does appreciate her ability to speak genuinely with everyone, regardless of background. He's sure when the time comes to take the reigns, she'd make a great leader, even if her current insecurities can bring herself doubt at times.
Valdsam can see Silas's misgivings about fighting, even if there's a layer of quips disguising it. He's dealt with plenty of nervous newbies in the past, but this one certainly isn't going to make training easy. A little respect would be nice.
Valdsam is a welcome voice of reason in the ever increasing party they've formed. Silas does his best to respect him when he can - but Valdsam will forever regret Silas knowing that his nickname is Whiskers. Finds his 'gruff exterior, soft interior' personality fairly cute.
She's too nosy for her own good. She can't help but feel one of these days she's going to wake up with her notes rifled through and a few well-placed traps in her latest experiment.
Lyrica knows where Audrey lives, and for that reason, Audrey should be fearful. She is GOING to get the embarrassing childhood stories.
(Also, hey, Lyrica is tough, what do you MEAN she's not tough!)
She's really energetic, even Caz will have trouble keeping up with her! Though she seems to be really keen to put that energy towards the cause of Unity, which means she's good in Caz's book!
Optimistic to the point of naiveté, and loyal to a fault. The obvious schoolkid crush he has on Miresi is pretty cute. She's glad to see him so hopeful in spite of everything he's clearly been through.
She's quite the mischievous one, isn't she? She always seems to have something to say, but that's alright. Mirësi will just have to try her hardest to prank Lyrica before the inverse happens.
Idealistic and surprisingly a little headstrong; in the end, she's probably the best suited to lead the Meihua indeed. Her kindness is worthy of protection.
Why, of all the felines, did it have to be the most troublesome Jaguar he's met. At least she can fight, even if she gets knocked down just as much as she knocks others down.
Ahh, Valdsam. His rationality is a double-edged sword—certainly, his experience and insight is sorely needed in the Meihua... but it does make him all the easier to tease. He's level-headed, reliable, and a touch predictable; Lyrica can relax around him.
Another member who demands quite hefty payments... Mirësi sees her value as one of the Meihua, and thinks maybe being around the others will do her some good though, so she'll keep the dancer's pockets lined for now.
Naive at best. Arabella isn't above taking advantage of that obliviousness to keep her own pockets lined. Mirësi's refusal to accept the privilege of her position and the inherent way it affects her dynamics with others has started to become annoying.
It's like the universe packaged up all of the traits that bug Valdsam when present in a soldier and sent them his way in the form of a sassy performer. She keeps morale up on the battlefield so she's at least useful, even if she can't hold her own in a straight fight. If only she'd let him train her...
For all that he attempts to be a hardass, it seems he doesn't quite command the respect necessary to do anything with it, which is funny. She won't forget how he didn't think of the danger he'd be putting those without the protection of status like his in when proposing their trip to Barrhurst.
She's not the talkative type. That's fine, she's still helping with the Meihua and that's what counts! Not to mention, her dancing abilities really liven up the mood, even if she only pulls them out on the battlefield.

Arabella's impressive ability to summon fire without the help of a tome piques Audrey's interest, yet that hasn't been the best part about meeting her. Finally she has someone who understands just how crazy this whole ordeal is.
Possibly the only person with a lick of sense, but Arabella still carries a healthy fear that she's going to become a science experiment with Audrey around.
He's certainly a fun one to hang out with! The land he comes from is so different from her own, Pandora can't help but try to learn more from him. Plus, the way he tears into their enemies can show her a thing or two about anatomical weaknesses.
Carvus cares about Pandora since she was the first to reach out to him, but he really doesn't understand her or her horse, Actin. He is willing to protect her no matter what however, and it seems like he listens to her.
Pandora isn't easily shaken, but to be quite honest Pollux somehow manages it. Not that she dislikes them, quite the opposite, but the light mage's tendency to see through any small talk and cut straight to the heart of issues isn't something Pandora is quite used to yet. Of course, Pollux is still quite supportive of her and as such she'll do her best to live up to their expectations!... though she doesn't quite care for Pollux's constantly poking for information about her brother.
Pollux sees Pandora as hardworking, and perhaps a bit misunderstood, by both some of the members here, and the family Pandora has at home. They see a lot of potential in Pandora, encouraging the healer that going to the island was the right choice -- and that if her family thinks otherwise, they'll come around to it eventually.
Of everyone in the crew, Pollux has the easiest time finding Pandora due to the blood and grime that comes with being a medic. (Though, Carvus makes for a pretty solid contender, tying for that position some days more than others.)
Somehow, Lillia has ended up as Pandora's assistant. She has the vague sense that she's gotten in over her head, especially considering how Pandora's horse already seems on edge in her presence, but Lillia is too polite to refuse a request for help, so here we are.
Lillia's very capable, even if she doesn't flaunt it. Plus, she doesn't seem repulsed by her obsessions like the rest of the army, score! Strange as it is that Actin doesn't like her, Pandora will stick around Lillia for a while longer.
Jane at first sees Alex as another person to fool, much like she does with Engou. But as she realizes that she work together with him -- that they can do murders and get away with it -- she puts a degree of trust with Alex when playing DRcade with him.
However, by the end, when she's forced to always lie...not only does she recognize that Alex can see through her words, but that in truth, she wanted to speak her mind. Post game, she wonders just what sort of person Alex was irl, and considers him her one true friend.
elspeth would kill for jihmi but she'd also probably kill jihmi if suitably provoked
Elspeth terrifies Jihmi but she also constantly saves his life so it's fine.
She's really smart! Though he doesn't always understand Audrey, Caz does his best to help her research and in turn he relies on her to teach him about life in the capital.
His constantly peppy attitude and willingness to help anyone who desires it strikes Audrey as strange; he certainly didn't learn this from the Eagles, and she rarely met any Beorc in Lufield who practiced this kindness. Regardless, she's glad to see it.
The only reason that Valdsam tolerates Audrey's presence is because he's technically not the one in charge. No matter what Mirësi and Caz say about her value as a connection to Lufield, Valdsam has trouble shaking the fact that she's just the kind of person who he would've fought while guarding the deserts of Bereha.
Audrey typically tries to stay out of Valdsam's way. His obvious misgivings about her presence in the Meihua manifests itself in his interfering with her research. She holds him no strong ill will, though.
Eccentric is certainly one word for Audrey's habits, but despite all of Mirësi's misgivings Caz trusts her so Mirësi will too. She just hopes that Audrey doesn't get too used to having access to all of these resources for her research.
Audrey deeply appreciates Mirësi and her ability to get Audrey into places where she never could've gotten with government grant money. Beyond that, though, Mirësi is the type of leader that the politicians in Lufield never told their citizens about: Kind and willing to peacefully resolve problems.
Valdsam is a really good teacher, and the best commander Caz has seen! Caz can also see that, beneath Valdsam's impartial demeanor lies an impassioned and caring man.
Valdsam feels that trying to unify Bleustra is a fool's errand; Caz, however, strikes him as just the kind of fool who might be able to pull it off. Valdsam quietly admires Caz's strength of belief; he just hopes it doesn't get the kid killed.
