I just woke up so im like too lazy to go find more examples but. also should be here is goemon in part 2 and his gram gram recipes. I like that goemon is the only one who outwardly verbally expresses his care and feelings about his friends.

So I think he doesnt take his interactions with them lightly and when it would come to his intimacy hed be very. Normal. (he is also a Freak like the rest of them but he's Contained about it) And earnest methinks. His affection towards them would mean alot in his mind which is where the tenderness comes from.

Im just so fujigoepilled but i need to draw him doing these things with the others too. THIS GUY! LOVES HIS BEST FRIENDS!

Hello there! And no, totally not a dumb question! It was a tiny bit of both, but definitely something I had in mind whenever I drew his intense eyes, so technically yes! His great-grandparents actually came from the Malaguld tribe, one Xaela (an exiled "Taken" from the Qerel) and the other a Raen! I am still working on the specifics of said background but that's basically it, heheh! Ridel himself unfortunately has no knowledge of his exact background, since his mother did not like to talk about it, but while he is usually very calm and kind, he does feel a sort of kinship/empathy with those who struggle with their inner rage. He had struggled a lot with it himself when he was a child, and the story definitely begins to poke at what bubbles beneath the surface quite a bit as he progresses...

When I went through the Warrior quest I didn't think I would enjoy it so much, and while I originally didn't think about Ridel coming from the Qerel or the Chaghan, he does have a bit of an uncontrollable ferocity that surfaces from time to time, and the warrior story going off of that coupled with the theme of love, it really fit with him as well as his interaction with the wols around him (My friend's ocs), so I ended up peppering that into part of his lineage, which thankfully fits!
