Ichiya and Freed have quite a lot in common, and what they connected initially on was a love of music. The Blue Pegasus guildhall has a rather impressive grand piano, which Ichiya loves to play. He happened to be playing a rather complex piece one afternoon when Freed came by. Ichiya was surprised (but after a moment, not really) that Freed recognised the tune, and it was a welcome surprise at that. This began a conversation about music and instruments, and would later begin the pair discussing the topic over drinks on many occasions.
Jenny conceals the fact that she's a huge nerd with a love of machines and engineering, as it doesn't fit with her 'persona'. During his time at Blue Pegasus, Freed happened to overhear Jenny ranting to Hibiki (one of the few she shares her brainy side with) about something she'd read in an engineering magazine that she'd taken exception to. Upon realising Freed had heard her, she was incredibly embarrassed and worried, not only because she felt Exposed but because ranting the way she'd been was quite unladylike (she'd used a lot of colourful expressions). Of course, Freed assured her there was nothing to be ashamed of and he would keep what he'd heard to himself.
Mermaid Heel's guildmaster, Lady Evie, is a good friend of Master Bob's. The two of them often get together and discuss all sorts of things - sometimes their mages. During the time Freed was with Blue Pegasus, Evie had suggested to Bob that Freed and Kagura might be good sparring partners for each other, as they're both highly skilled with swords. Kagura was still processing what had been revealed to her at the GMG and was trying to rediscover the meaning of her life, so she initially declined her master's suggestion. However, as the year went on and she felt a bit more settled, she approached Freed on her own accord. Training with him helped her regain some shaken confidence in herself.
