It's complicated. Marlo knows very well that she and he have their issues, but they are working them out. His lover for her is deep, and he is often afraid of how much. He strives to be a man 'worthy' of her time and love, and seeks to better himself for her sake and the sake of their daughter. He hopes to one day help heal the hurt he caused her at the very least, and dreams of one day being confident enough to ask to marry her.
It is incredibly complicated. After so many years of their relationship being unarguably unhealthy, and so many mistakes being made, and unhealthy coping mechanisms being used, and... well. Jada LOVES him, that is never in doubt, but she is constantly second-guessing that she loves him enough, or in the right way... and is afraid to rock the boat and risk hurting a good man.
Half sister and legally his niece once removed, Marlo is exceptionally fond of Giulia, despite how he often might act. He worries about her brash behavior, but can't stay mad at her for very long. Ultimately, he really wants only for her to grow up safe and happy.
Giulia's feelings on her bruncle (brother? uncle?) are very straightforward: He's mean, just like her brousin (brother? cousin? Family trees, man.) However, Giulia knows he would beat up absolutely anyone who actually tried to hurt her, and even if he's a giant meanie, he does it because he cares. And he was definitely raised that way. So he gets a pass, unless he's just been a Stinky Stinkerson.
Father to Hope, Marlo wants to be a part of her life and raise her better than his father raised him. She is his little princess and he may have killed his father in order to keep her safe. Now, he dotes on her nearly daily, wanting to both make up for lost time, and to ensure she gets a life, and a future without suffering or fear. He'd do anything to protect her.
This little girl utterly adores her Papà. Raised by his father until she was almost 3 years old, some of her earliest memories are confusing, but her Papà was always there, oozing familiarity and making her feel safe.
His cousin by blood, and legal father. He adores her even though she manages to exasperate him. Elzo often internally struggles knowing he can't protect her as well as he'd like, and sees her, her brother, and his niece as those he fights for as Sailor Castor.
After a childhood mistake and his guilt complex, Marlo keeps up with a weekly ritual of having flowers sent to her out of habit and comfort. While never close, he likes her company and holds her highly in regard especially given her ability to chastise his brother. There has never been romantic feelings for her, though on some level he loves her the way one loves a dear friend- no matter how distance or how long apart, he feels he can trust her, and from a man who trusts so rarely, he cherishes her company and her kindness.
Perhaps one of the few women in his life who knows him so well to the point she could likely catch his bullshit, Castor has nothing but fondness for the senshi of spring, as well as deep respect. She's kind, steadfast, and strong of heart and mind. While they don't see eye-to-eye all the time, she's one of the few people he genuinely would never wish to be forced to fight. He trusts her completely, and is one of the few who's counsel he holds in high regard.
Abstract and distant, Angelica was made into Cancer, lacking memories of the past Sailor Soldiers who bore her name. As such, she feels a bit out of place among the zodiacs and their long lived knowledge and sufferings. Still, she admires Chronos and her fortitude and strength of character, and wishes she could at least help the woman find some happiness and peace after everything she's endured.
Castor has a small love for the melancholic Princess, who he understands on some level in relation to her sorrow at losing not just her people, but her love. However, their views differ which puts them at odds with each other. Still, he abhors the idea of actually fighting her, not just because he is fairly certain she would wipe the floor with him, but also because she is one of the few he thinks deserves to rest after shouldering so much in the fight against Chaos.
Friend? Yes but no? Once upon a high school they were sort of friends but it was a rather one sided affair. Desidero enjoyed teasing and getting the snooty snoot riled. Overall, the vampire held great affection for Takeru, and did consider him someone of value.
Friends though they don't recall their shared past. Jinhai was trusted deeply and so Desidero cared for him deeply. Even if he has forgotten the past, the vampire sword still is fond of Jinhai and his calm demeanor. And in how well Jinhai tolerates his jokes.
Childhood friends turned friends that wont ever admit they really care about each other a lot. She see him akin to a sibling and adviser. She worries over him and his health but trusts Lifen and him to do what is best. Mildly panicked when she thought he might be marrying into her family. For real.
Marcus has always considered Gale as one of the most mature and capable hunters, and finds a slight amusement in how young he is yet also in how utterly mature he acts. Gale is forever one of his most trusted and dependable friends, and out of all of Deus, Marcus thinks Gale most suited to take up a position of power. If only he'd pursue it.
