Alright bucko, hand over all the honey in the hive and nobody gets hurt.
Pry it from my tiny hands. You aren't taking my honey!
Aw, are you a little bee guy? Do you like tea? I can make you some if you'd like! ^o^
Tea..? Can we use honey with that tea?
Athena considers Milena a rather close friend. The two aren't exactly moirails... but they talk to each other about their problems and just generally hangout. Athena feels it's safe to rely her secrets in Milenas hands and doesn't bother to show any kind of platonic closeness to any other trolls around her age. She has mad respect for Milena.
Milena isn't personally sure if she's really best friends with Athena or not, but she's the closest to Athena compared to everyone else in their friend group. Due to having a difficult time getting along with the others and not really liking most of the others, Milena was drawn to Athena as a friend. She tried to help Athena with her plans and ideas and shares a secret hideout with her that they found together by Milena's hive. Milena feels afraid to branch out from just being friends with Athena and doesn't feel comfortable with anyone else, so she is hardly seen with anyone else but Athena and enjoys hanging out with her during and sometimes after school. She would gladly lie and help get Athena out of trouble if needed and would do a great many things to make her happy, including making free art pieces for her if it would cheer her up.
Jasper has always cared about Marina! To Jasper, Marina is his closest friend and moirail, someone he can look to for help or just comfort. Sometimes he didn't like when she held him back from certain things, or held him close when he was upset. Jasper knew Marina just wanted to keep him safe. Jasper is oblivious to Marinas red feelings towards him, and even if he did know... Marina was his best friend, his moirail. he rather keep it there to avoid possible bad and bitter sweet ending. He prefers Marinas platonic and non-romantic affection anyway..
Marina was always glued to Jasper's side, even when they were just little pupae being transported through their caretaker's game of sgrub. She eventually became his moirail on Lebora when Jasper's powers were getting too self-destructive and he desperately needed someone to keep him in check and safe, as well as others safe from him. Marina has always deeply cared about Jasper and considers him to be the closest person to her, as well as someone she would love until the end of time...possibly in more than one quadrant. But, even she's not quite sure about that...not like he'd reciprocate anyway.
Jasper has always though Oliver as one of his closest friends! Similar to Marina but without the moirail status. He's always thought Oliver to be a little weird, But he liked that about the highblood! Oliver tended to distract him from most things... They just managed to take his mind off of the stress that weighed on his brain sometimes when Marina wasn't available to help. Jasper was totally oblivious to the highbloods more flushed feelings. Though Jasper was feeling a bit of his own Red colored feelings towards the highblood. Jasper almost felt ashamed to be feeling those kinds of feelings towards such a close friend of his, so he stayed quiet for the most part, contemplating and sorta dancing around the question on if Oliver liked him in a similar way or not.
Ever since they were little wigglers, Oliver was always very close to Jasper and loved to hang out with him as much as he could. He found him to be such a nice and amazing guy and as well as very genuine and sincere, both qualities he greatly admires in someone. He loves to play video games with him and hang out with him at his hive. They made friendship bracelets at one point and wear them around to never forget their bond, Oliver's is on his left horn hidden by his hair. However, over the sweeps, Oliver has begun to feel a little different towards Jasper, a little more leaning towards the flushed quadrant? He won't say anything anytime soon...but he hopes that someday in the far-flung future, he would get to live out his sweeps with Jasper and loving him as long as he could...
Mathew thought Milena was... kinda a massive pain in the ass. But he saw good in her, he saw the potential sweetness that laid under a thick layer of sour and bitter hate towards others. Mathew made it a note to take it slow and the two would make a small small talk and have that grow into conversations that might've lasted all day if Milena didn't have a job. Mathew developed his feelings a bit after the 2nd session started. He just hoped he wouldn't fuck anything up.
Milena's feelings towards Mathew have only grown more muddled and complicated as time as gone on. Originally, she hated his guts just like with Jasper and Oliver, and wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. But she started to warm up to his presence a little more as Athena focused more on hating Japser as opposed to Mathew, and she's had a few good conversations here and there with him. She admires his amazing coding and game design skills and sometimes asks for hints and help with his game to give her an advantage...even though she doesn't really always get a helpful answer. In more recent perigrees, Milena is on fairly neutral grounds with Mathew, and honestly appreciates his generosity and acceptance, and especially his endurance with putting up with her moody, flippant self. She wonders if she'll ever be truly close friends with him in the future, or perhaps more, or if something will happen to crash, burn, and destroy her tolerance for him and leave her viewing him as a pure enemy as she once did before.
Athena loved to tease Marina and mess around with the teal. Just enough to get her annoyed. Athena loved most moments with Marina, even if it was usually just Marina calling Athena a jerk or a bully. Athena just always thought Jasper was in her way of full time with the teal. Athena just personally didn't care which quadrant Marina and her ended in, black, red, she just wanted Marina to feel something towards her and wouldn't end in Marina despising her forever.
Marina finds Athena to be a bit of a complicated case. When they were younger, Marina was usually only mildly annoyed with her picking on Jasper and making him feel worse and unhappy. However, as time went on and Athena's recklessness only got worse, Marina began to have black feelings towards her and usually couldn't stand the sight of her...but then also missed her whenever she was gone. It was frustrating!! She recalls the time Athena tried to propose her red feelings towards Marina, but at that point, Marina was so blackened towards her but keeping everything under a cover that she turned her down completely. She didn't want to tell her how she actually felt...that would be too embarrassing for her. However, they eventually began to refer to each other as kismesises, at least in private, if nothing else but for a joke...and then they actually started to believe it and just accepted it.
Caretaker
Mathew hasn't had the best bond with Varrek. Maybe it was noting that most of the time that he could remember, his Rustblooded caretaker had no legs and glowed. But... it was actually just the lack of interests. Sure they were both equally quiet at times, but Mathew was more social than his rustblooded caretaker. It wasn't obvious the two shared an awkwardness thick enough to cut with a butter knife. But... they had a small and almost unnoticeable bond between each other. Mathew does care for Varrek, even if he doesn't know how to show it.
Caretaker
Mathew feels close to Esmera. He knows very well he shares blood with neither of his caretakers, but Esmera has that greener color that has a closer resemblance to his own. He finds slight comfort in the feeling that he doesn't feel so out of place around her. He feels safe.
Ehlman received Jasper as a wiggler just as he finished his game session after being revived by his dancestor’s group of players. At first, Ehlman was awfully distrusting of wigglers and not very confident in his caretaking abilities. But with some guidance and help, he found himself getting a little closer to the funny gold blood. He helped teach the wiggler how to use his psionics and control his powerful abilities and also helped teach him a bit about coding. Ehlman doesn’t prefer to listen to Jasper’s rock music, finding it grating on the hearing canals, but he tries to feign interest now and then to not dampen the little pupa’s spirits.
Jasper always wanted his caretakers to be proud and love his interests. Maybe not to the large amounts of love he poured into his interests, but he wanted his family to be happy. However... he felt like he could never make Ehlman proud of him. Jasper shared little interests with the goldblooded caretaker and Jasper always noted the small silence that fell between them when Makoto wasn't around. Jasper was and is still gratefully upset he never could make him proud. No matter what beats he made with his music, whatever small amount of coding he'd been making for sweeps, half way there grades, etc. Nothing seemed to make Ehlman truly proud according to Jasper. This always weighed down on Jasper.. He WANTED Ehlman to be proud of him, He wanted his caretaker with similar blood to his own to hug him and feel proud of his accomplishment with SINCERITY! Not with a strained smile and a small white lie to make him feel better and spirits lifted!
Jasper Loved Ehlman dearly as a caretaker. He just wished he could've done better...
