“Gi’s pretty cool. We’ve only talked a couple of times, but gi’s got some cool magic, and has been backstage a few times. We get along pretty well. We’re friendly acquaintances, I guess?”
"... I'm gonna be honest, I don't think we've spoken beyond, uh... the way we met. We met up once, had a good time, and then never really spoke again? Not like it was bad or anything but like... I dunno, that's not exactly the best way to make friends, at least for me?"
"Oh... Deviate is such a sweetheart. And ji's so cute! It's not jes fault that I'm horribly allergic to jo. Deviate I wish I could tell you that I am so fucking allergic please stop singling me out for pets. I always give jo pets, but it always... sucks. Afterwards."
"... okay I'm gonna be honest, I genuinely have no idea how we got to know each other. Like, I remember meeting? And we struck up conversation? But this spirit is like a whirlwind when sve wants to be-- I have no idea how I walked away with sver number and a promise of a date, but I did. The date was nice, too! And the... afterwards. Honestly, I'm not sure what to think of sver. Silver's super personable, and sweet, and we share a lot of interests but... is heth interested in me romantically? Am I interested in heth? We haven't really talked about it, and honestly I don't know how I feel about sver. We haven't really spent much time together though-- sve's pretty busy, from what I gather, so it's hard to know if that date was a one off thing or..."
"Oh, Topsie! Funny story, actually. We kinda matched on a like... 'dating' site? I'm not super active on them, but Topsie caught me at just the right time, and we had really good conversation, so we met up. We got along just fine, and the evening was a lot of fun, but we decided we'd be better off as friends. Then we found out we already shared a social circle. Topsie is super sweet, and we get along really well! Sometimes things just don't click romantically though, and I'm glad we've agreed to kinda just put how we met behind us, because I... do NOT want to have that conversation with Adrienn. Or Adrienn's scentmate. Or Treat."
"Ah, Adrienn's friend! I've heard a lot about Avril, both good and bad, but it's... kinda difficult to determine how much of that is accurate and how much is driven by emotion. We haven't interacted much one on one, though, so that might be a part of it. I dunno, ji seems cool, I guess?"
"Ah! We're online friends! We've never really met face to face before, but we run in a lot of the same fandom circles. And, I mean, beyond that we are like... I'd say we're friends? Though I tend to consider all of my mutuals as friends. Take that as you will, I guess!”
"Ah... we were coworkers, before my pyrinatomy. We haven't really spoken since. I think heth didn't know how to deal with me, after, but I remember we used to be friends. I don't remember if heth knew I was going to get a pyrinatomy, though..."
"We met in the recovery spa. We were going through rather similar things-- that is, suffering from a sudden numbing or loss of certain sensations. As it was, we ended up friends, I guess? It's hard to tell these days, or care, but Quell certainly ticks all of the boxes for friendship. It's nice, having someone who at least kind of gets it. This sense of loss, something you can never get back. I make an effort to keep up the relationship. It feels unnecessarily cruel to disappear on heth."
"... I feel like there's something gi expects from me every time we meet. I don't know what it is. I remember hearing of gin a couple of times when I was... when I was still who I used to be. I had a question for gin, then. I don't even remember what was so important about it to ask."
"Ah... right near the end of my time teaching, I believe, I worked a bit with Alyiass. A few of my students were foster kids, who Alyiass was working with. I never really spent much time with heth, though. A few one on ones, but most of our conversations had to do with my students. At the very least, I don't believe heth was one of the parents who raised concerns over whether I was 'safe enough' to be teaching children."
"Oh... Phaedra was a student I had. Either in my last year of teaching or just before then... probably my last year? I remember heth was very shy, very sweet, but struggled in the classroom setting. I think I tried my best to be accommodating but... it's strange to imagine that I used to care that much."
"Ah, yet another example of my poor luck with relationships! I thought I could keep things platonic, and I definitely tried. But I fell hard and fast. Every time this happens I always tell whoever I've fallen for immediately, and usually they cut things off. I'm not bitter, even if it does kinda suck."
"Alyiass... for awhile I used to call heth 'the one that got away', as silly as it is. Probably the only good relationship I've ever had, and I still kinda regret breaking up to this day. We just worked, in a way I never really got again after that. I really hope heth's doing okay, and that heth's happy. I hate that the relationship didn't work out, but sometimes life just happens."
Ankeli finding Vulpen was like sve found joy again in sver life. Sve understood though that there were things going on in jes life.. sve hasnt seen ges in a long time and sve feels the longing within sver core. Waiting till they might see again.. eternally if sve has to.
While the traitor was initially ecstatic to have found jes soulmate, the glaring fact that heth was not a traitor couldn't be ignored. Vulpen couldn't justify spending time away from ges already struggling pack, and told ges via of the collector... Gi has not seen Ankeli since, the tattered remains of ges ear and the ache in ges core a constant reminder why gi could NEVER see heth again...
Vulpen hasn't had much chance to interact with the Weaver, maintaining a careful distance from that section of the pack for the past several years. Gi knows of Onyx through the grapevine- no gossip regarding the cat traitor, but quietly placed praise on sver temperament and skill alike. The fox idly hopes to one day have a genuine conversation with the Weavers, but so long as ges littermate wants gi to keep distance from them, gi will. Even if it means losing out on potential friendships.
This loyal weaver’s work does not go unnoticed, especially in the wake of Ten’s Sacral Hunt. Sve doesn’t have much time in sver schedule to talk with pack mates like sve used to, but when given the opportunity to Rowarenne will take a moment to stop in and speak with Onyx while sve works. They have an easy, amiable relationship built upon respect- something the Alpha struggles to find these days.
One of the few Guards within the pack, Vulpen is closer to Fiore than most. The select few among them who share the rank consider themselves a last line of defense, placing a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. As they work in shifts, there isn't much chance of conversation- however that doesn't change how much Vulpen trusts and relies on ges fellow Guard. There's a silent understanding between all of them, and Vulpen feels closer to the other Guards than gi does ges own littermates.
"My comrade, my enran in arms! I trust gin with my life, I kinda have to considering our duties together as the pack Guards, but Vulpen and I have always been pretty close regardless. Gi doesn't speak much, not like we have much time to talk anyway, but I can always tell what's on ges mind, and we know we've got each others' backs. That said, though, I hope one day I can see gin lighten up a bit, and open up more. I'll be waiting for that day."
