Emma: time to wake up paul

Paul: mm give me five more minutes

the order which with the crew came together: noor and singer were first when they got the ship, vim caught on quickly when he found out where his valkyrie had gone and was subsequently beheaded and recruited, alecto tagged along soon enough and stayed after fucking up, noor, singer and vim knew kestra from before and she was asked to come along when alecto had his arms blown off and needed expert medical help, and she stayed because now she had no place to go.

noor & singer absolutely love each other. singer is a dad figure and a mentor for noor when she learns how to live for herself while she’s a support and a friend for him without babying or fussing. they play together so well noor can practically understand him from one gesture.

noor & alecto iffy around each other because of racial things, namely noor’s people being used and abused by alecto’s so they keep their distance. alecto tries and noor respects him for that, though. also when he had his arms blown up she has figured out that he’s not that bad as hecate or other valoidians.

noor & kestra noor really admires her and her life experience and is amazed by her every story, kestra likes her back and kind of mothers her around bc she feels like she has the responsibility. she also feels bad because noor has had to deal with so much violence from such a young age, and relates to her because of that.

noor & vim vim admitted his defeat and in his eyes noor has earned his respect many times over, he can get condescending but is also reminded by his own son so he’s surprisingly gentle and accepting with her. noor was scared of him in the start but has gotten warmer bit by bit. they’re friends.

alecto & singer they’re pals, though singer can get annoyed by alecto’s antics sometimes because he doesn’t know when to stop or realize when singer’s getting uncomfortable. he does respect alecto sacrificing life and limb for the daedalus and appreciates the work he does. alecto’s crushing on singer p hard and he knows but wants to stay friends.

alecto & kestra in his eyes she is an absolute badass so he circles around her like a cat around hot porridge, too much in awe to get close and personal. he kind of tries but he’s too amazed. absolutely crushing on her but because he knows she has a husband, isn’t as open about it than with singer. kestra thinks he is a reckless child who should be leashed sometimes. with all the love, though.

alecto & vim vim is very close to throwing him out the airlock at least twice a week. alecto just thinks it’s fun to pester him bc he knows noor will protect him should vim actually take action. however, vim cares about alecto just as much as he does of everyone else and would run through fire for him if it came to that. i mean, it wouldn’t hurt him, but it’s the thought that matters. alecto thinks he’s kind of a dick but also loves his stories and the legends around him, thinking him a bit of a badass too.

singer & kestra kestra does not approve of his drug use but allows it, because she understands he has gone through horrifying things and works together with him to help him stop, with his conditions and consent. she thinks of him as a very capable man and because they’re both seen the world quite a lot, respects him as her equal. singer thinks much the same of her. he’s also quite impressed by her work as a rebel, guerrilla and freedom fighter while also being a doctor. they have very strong trust in each other.

singer & vim they’re both dads but vim doesn’t know that, so while singer has a bit of a sour disposition towards him for abandoning his wife and son, vim doesn’t feel any different towards singer on family front. vim does think he’s wasting his life with the drugs. he’s also very impressed by his engineering skills and how he was managing the weapons before the weaponsmaster himself came in. singer’s annoyed by his cockiness but can’t deny his skill with the guns. when it comes to serious situations, though, they have each other’s backs.
