Fizzle Spark is in love with Cicada Daze. He can't always be upfront with how he feels, as heartfelt conversations are difficult for him, but he shows her his love in all of his thoughtful actions. She's the moon in his sky, and he hopes that one day he'll be able to properly articulate that.
Cicada Daze is in love with Fizzle Spark. He can be a little gruff and hard-edged at times, but her being a changeling allows her to sense the love he has for her, so she knows just how much he cares even if he can't always say it outright. She knows he'd do anything for her, and she knows she'd do the same.
Cardsharp adores Crushed Velvet and does everything he can to support his little brother. He sends him expensive gifts using his casino winnings, and appreciates that Crushed Velvet respects his lifestyle even if he may not always agree with it. He also takes great pride in being the pony that Velvet comes to for help.
Crushed Velvet, like his family, is concerned about Cardsharp's lifestyle, but he respects that it's his brother's choice and sees that though Cardsharp is flawed, he's still worth caring about. He appreciates how Cardsharp looks after him, and knows he can trust him for the best advice when it comes to getting out of trouble.
Corkscrew isn't necessarily enamored with Cardsharp, but he's a major flirt and Cardsharp frequents a lot of the casinos he does stage shows for. They run into each other at the bar more often than not, and Corkscrew always offers him a drink, which Cardsharp vehemently refuses. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
Cardsharp is frequently annoyed by Corkscrew's flirting. They both know that Corkscrew doesn't actually have feelings for him- he'll just flirt with anything that moves and Cardsharp happens to be around. He refuses each time, which Corkscrew finds entertaining. Corkscrew's attempts aren't obsessive- just habitual.
Sparkling Royal is Cardsharp's older brother and frequently gets on his case about the flippant, indulgent lifestyle he lives. His lectures stem from worry, as he doesn't want Cardsharp to get hurt, but his brother still finds his scolding annoying. They do still love each other, but there are some tense arguments when they get together.
Cardsharp appreciates what his brother is trying to do for him, deep down, but he wishes Royal would just trust that he knows what he's doing. Not everypony can inherit the Blueblood estate or the Boutique, so sometimes ponies like Cardsharp need to find their paths elsewhere. Royal says he gets it, but how could he?
