Sada +Turo were academy friends, and have known each other for longer than they have with Clavell, whom they meet over lab in the academy and even closer in research for area zero.

Everything is quite tied to the tera crystal research, in that the trio are in constant close proximity due to researching together, and living in the lab dorms and such. There's quite a lot of fuss about making the space a little homey from Clavell, which results in things being a little cosier. a little plastic potted plant, some photographs, etc haha.

Clavell is the unexpected third in their group, and definitely the mediator/mom friend for Sada and Turo's very antagonistic relationship haha. The two profs are very much opposites and a lot of their relationship is about quipping/torturing/antagonising the other between some genuine sweet moments. Eg. Sada calling him stupid and Turo calling her an idiot. Affectionately psft. Clavell is very tired to be wedged between these two very fiery personalities, and often the one to break apart the continuous "playfighting" lol. You can imagine the other two going "See! Even Clavell thinks you're stupid." It's to Clavell's exasperation and fondness haha.

On calmer days in the lab though, they work like a well oiled machine, going over lab results and datasets and whatnot. It's their version of shared domesticity, Clavell bringing the two profs coffee in the way they like it, Turo giving Clavell a shoulder massage as they go over reports together, Sada dragging both boys to play Twister with her when Clavell forces them to take a break (To Clavell's :[ because he sucks at these and the other two know it lol)

Anyway, cue some day when all this tension bubbles into Clavell finding his colleagues and dear friends making out with each other lol. It's very much "Oh my" and some yearning involved (It's not like he himself has much of a social life, holed up deep in the labs). Both Sada and Turo are more than happy to bundle Clavell into the middle of their fiery relationship lol. With the other professor they find similar passion and energy, with Clavell it's a promise of home and warmth.
