OOC: Relationships
RELATIONSHIPS
SechsKibitoshin sees Sechs as one of his true friends in the Institute. Sechs helped him when he was in trouble and he'll never forget that- he wants to return the favour however he can and show that he can be just as good a friend to Sechs, too, especially now after his M-U. He's seen how badly it affected him, and watching him in that much pain was far more difficult for him than he imagined it could be; seeing someone so strong and proud and (as far as he's concerned) admirable hit such a low was awful. Even if Sechs insists he doesn't need anyone, Kibitoshin is determined to stay by him no matter what- and he's going to keep healing him to keep the pain down, too.
HaseoKibitoshin used to see Haseo as completely infallible- pretty much the first two times they met were composed of him swooping in and saving him from trouble, and that meant a lot. Until his M-U, that is. That was a real shock for Kibitoshin; he'd seen him as being almost totally in control and ready for anything, so to see him so rattled was completely bewildering. It made him see Haseo as less of a hero and more of a person, if that makes sense. He's not quite so intimidated by him as he was before and now wants to do whatever he can to help him and be a friend to him.
Dahlia HawthorneTo Kibitoshin, Dahlia is the person to look out for. She's sweet, kind, caring and vulnerable, and the thought of her getting injured in the Institute is just unthinkable for him. How could anyone want to hurt someone that gentle and pretty not that he noticed that or anything?! Well, not anymore. Kibitoshin's all but taken it upon himself to be her one-man army and keep her safe from harm if he can like the good-natured sap he is. RELEASED
Franziska von KarmaKibitoshin really does like Franziska, surprisingly- she easily intimidates him and when she says jump he asks how high, but in spite of that he admires her conviction and strength. On top of that, though, he can't help but worry about how far she's pushing herself and whether she's really as safe as she insists she is, especially after his slip-up in her room got such a vitriolic response. Even if she seems intent on pushing him away, he wants to make sure he's still close enough to her to be there in case something goes wrong and she needs someone.
Trunks BriefsAh! Someone he knows (sort of)! Who is also strong and brave and intelligent (he thinks, at least- he's never met this version before)! Admittedly, Future!Trunks isn't someone he's properly acquainted with, but the Trunks he does know is exactly the kind of person he could hope for around here. He really looks up to Trunks, seeing him as a sign that he's not entirely alone here. RELEASED
Fai D. FluoriteKibitoshin’s really impressed by Fai’s optimism- he’s nearly always smiling and never seems to be phased by anything, not even possible danger or Sechs’ bad tempers. It’s nice to have some back up when it comes to talking to Sechs, especially someone so sweet and fun- now there's a change from the normal.
Leon D.S. GeesteLeon constantly surprises Kibitoshin with just how gifted he is- for someone so small he seems incredibly intelligent and talented, in ways that put the Kaioshin to shame. It helps that he was part of the rescue party from his first night; he still feels like he owes Leon a favour and wants to help him as much as he can. If he can help at all. There doesn’t seem to be much Leon can’t do.
HanatarouKibitoshin's fond of Hanatarou in a reflective sort of way. He definitely thinks he's a good person, but more than that he sees a little of himself in him only ten times more more anxious and inexperienced and easily scared off, which is... kind of strange for him, but it ends up bringing out the slightly more responsible, stable side of him. RELEASED
RemyRemy seems like a good person- or should that be not-person? All he really knows about him is that he probably isn’t human, but that’s not so unusual in the Institute. He strikes Kibitoshin as a smart, sensible person to know. RELEASED
The ScarecrowKibitoshin can't help but like the Scarecrow- he's friendly, kind and brave, and for that reason Kibitoshin really looks up to him. Who else would go to investigate a not-dead-body all by themselves!? He's also a nice stabilising influence, which was more than appreciated during the portals event.
Ritsu SohmaKibitoshin can hardly believe it, but he seems to have found someone even more nervous and self-conscious than he is in his new roommate. His attempts to treat Ritsu gently and not cause too much distress are somewhat hampered by the fact that he isn't 100% (or 50%, or even 10%) sure of his gender. Oh, dear. At least he seems nice and friendly.
Ange Ushiromiya GretaAdmittedly, Kibitoshin doesn't know very much about Greta at all, but the fact that she was willing to let him paint her even though he didn't know what she was doing means a lot to him, considering the fact he'd been expecting someone scary and violent like Franziska when they first spoke. Obviously, she's just shy. Obviously. RELEASED
TsukasaKibitoshin doesn’t know Tsukasa as much more than “Haseo’s white-haired friend”, but the fact that he and Endrance rescued them twice has really left an impression on him.
EndranceAs above, Kibitoshin only really knows him as “Haseo’s pretty blue-haired friend”, and again he’s also really impressed by how he’s managed to help save him twice now. RELEASED
HomuraKibitoshin is part in awe of and part slightly nervous of Homura: in awe of because he’s one of the club leaders and therefore must be important, and nervous of because he’s one of the club leaders and… yeah. The suggestion that he shouldn’t give out their room number threw him, too. Does that mean he has lots of enemies?! RELEASED
XemnasLike with Homura, Kibitoshin isn't sure if he admires or is intimidated by Xemnas. The man's calm and composure is amazing, considering their situation, and he certainly admires how intelligent he seems. On the other hand, though, he seems so deep and kingly. Kibitoshin can't help but feel a little out of his depth when speaking to him sometimes.
Manfred von KarmaFor Kibitoshin, von Karma's like Franziska vamped up to eleven- he's his Ancestor without any of the softness and way more scarily sharp and critical, ready to poke holes in his ego whenever they meet. When they talk, he always ends up feeling like a disgraced schoolboy. Unfortunately, Kibitoshin is also a glutton for punishment and far too used to dealing with not-very-nice people for his own good- he's still operating on the assumption that von Karma can't be that bad really, can he? But then why did Franziska get so angry about being compared with him? It's all so confusing... RELEASED
