in modern au verse, Nai owns a single pool noodle. he has written "SELF CARE" in all caps on it in sharpie and whenever one of the people he cares about is not taking care of themselves he threatens to hit them with the self care noodle. If they continue, he does in fact hit them with the self care noodle. Vash is often a victim of self care.

Knives can purr. Knives does not know he can purr. The first time it happens will be hilarious. I know because I've thought about this for days.

bet i'll do mina first >:3

pro ! you get a best friend. mina thrives off listening to their partner talk about anything that interests them or past experiences or aspirations, because not only do they find their own inspiration for their art but they're also the first to wholeheartedly support their dreams and wants. a partner may come first, but mina will never allow a partner to change themself to fit in or whatever - only grow

con ! they're fucking anxious. they constantly worry despite often acting pretty casual, and that can definitely manifest into impulsive behavior and / or rushing off to be alone to let the intense feelings pass, rather than trusting someone will love them through it

and for lord haurche

pro ! absolutely the most considerate towards his partners. he often thinks about how he treats others the same way he'd like to get treated, but it goes Beyond that. haurche would spend an entire day cheering up his partner if that's what they required, will provide safety no matter what the situation, remembers every detail shared so he can accommodate them. yeah.

Nope! I would say he didn't care for Alphinaud in ARR. He has a strong dislike of rich people right out of the gate and it takes extra time for them to earn his trust/respect. He also found him to be arrogant, bossy, and childish. He bit his tongue around him a lot. Though they did get close in Heavensward, Roi seeing him as a little brother and likely the scion he is the closest with in most verses.

NOW the only other close one is Thancred. Roi loves Thancred. He recruited him and saw potential in him. If it wasn't for Thancred, Roi truly believes he would be dead or gone down a bad path thanks to his mindset at the time they met. Thancred gave him purpose and introduced him to Minfilia, the person that reached Roi's heart and brought his walls down for the first time since his childhood. Thancred and Minfilia were the scions he was the closest with in ARR. After Minfilia's death, Roi blames himself for it because he left her behind. He hates himself for trusting that Hydealyn would keep her safe. Roi is totally unable to move on from her death until their last meeting in Shadowbringers. Which brings me to Thancred, who asked Roi to keep her safe in the tunnel.
