Okay you know what it's been a loooong while since I did one of these.

Good old traditional FIRST IMPRESSIONS/RELATIONSHIP MEME! Comment with two of our characters who have met and I will ramble on at length about my character's feelings for yours, possibly provide MS Paint visual aids, etc. I play Albert Silverberg, Seth Nightlord, Honlon (

it's like you guys know which relationships will make me essay the hardest

Uh-there's not much on Judith because they didn't talk very long and it was a generally awkward situation! He probably fled that conversation ASAP. Mithos is okay with half-elves like himself, and can tolerate some humans, but Judith is pretty clearly an elf and that's the race he's had the deepest discomfort with and longest grudge against for his whole life. They will probably never have a civil conversation. ;;

And then there is Richter! Richter is different. Mithos didn't ever plan to forgive Richter for what he thought he'd done; he was so incredibly angry with him when he first arrived because not only was it a time of panic and freakout over the gate to Niflheim being there, but the other Symphonia folks were giving him information in a big jumble which. Left out a lot of stuff and painted Richter in a really bad light. He thought Richter had been deliberately setting out to kill the world! Which would have killed the new Tree and the spirit of his sister. He tunnelvisioned on that and didn't think through the nuances until a lot later, after he calmed down and wasn't in so much of a homicidal rage. And by 'a lot later' I mean 'after Richter deaged.'

Because before he met baby Richter he didn't try to reason out the information he'd been given. He doesn't...do that well when someone enrages him that much. He was prepared to just keep hating Richter unreasonably and being a huge dick, half-elf or no half-elf. So it...is probably a good thing that the next time he had a long conversation with Richter, Richter was, you know, a tiny terrified kid. It knocked the anger out of him temporarily to see someone who was both that different from grown-up Richter and a child who felt/acted kind of like he probably did back in Heimdall. See, part of Mithos forgetting to see people as individuals and putting so much distance between himself and the real world for ages and ages meant that he didn't see the half-elf abuse his system caused up close forever.

Richter's example shocked him enough that he kind of wanted to make up for it, and-there's also no way he would treat a young half-elf badly, which was why baby Richter topped him so hard. If he had kicked that puppy it would have been like kicking himself. It hits too close to home! So he was kind and made allowances and let baby Richter top him into embarrassing stuff because he just wanted Richter to stop feeling bad so he could stop feeling bad.
