It's time for a new ♥RELATIONSHIP MEME♥!
Comment here to find out what Ikkaku, Watanuki, Rukia, Kid, or Abel think of you. DON'T FORGET TO TELL ME YOUR CHARACTERS' NAMES, I am lazy like a lazy thing. Also if I'm really curious I'll pester you re: your thoughts on so-and-so, as a heads up.

Just for background context, Albert is a naturally suspicious man. He's really the opposite of Caesar in some ways, and one of them is that he is a good strategist long before he is a good person. This means that he doesn't trust easily, and that he also doesn't get attached easily. Common sense--he's quite a ruthless man, he manipulates people as easily as he breathes, there's a chance that someday, he'll have to use everybody he associates with in order to achieve his goals, and personal feelings cannot be a factor in that. Hell, the two people he would 'trust' most here are Caesar (and not because they're family, but because he can be predicted), and Luc (...who is his general and ally, but not friend, and is unpredictable due to issues of occasional batshittery.)
So Albert distrusts Abel by default, because he doesn't know a thing about him. But! At the same time, Albert needs...not so much friends here, or allies, but something to balance against what his younger brother has managed to do in the months before he arrived and the time immediately after he arrived, which is pretty much discredit Albert before he ever came to camp. THEREFORE Albert finds himself able to distrust Abel less than he does many others in camp, simply because Abel arrived at the same time he did. This makes Abel one of the people who has not interacted at length with either Silverberg, unlike, say, Saya and Yuma (hurr playercest), or Tomo, or Yukari. He's found that interacting with Caesar's friends usually means some sort of pressure/harrassment on him, and unlike in Suikoverse, it just. Doesn't. Let up. Which he can deal with, obviously, but it gets very '=_=' after awhile.
Abel, in contrast, in completely unbiased. So Albert is guarded around him, but just in the way of strangers with secrets. Abel doesn't have some sort of hidden war-agenda, or Silverberg-agenda, or politics-agenda. And Albert's...rarely, if ever, encountered someone that purely free of interest in what he represents and in him as a person without knowing him.
Add on that Albert is most probably not so great at dealing with people as people. Underlings, superiors, allies, enemies, but not...people. And as a person, what Albert's seen of Abel is a funny mix. Interesting and intriguing; from a different world with parallels that sound absolutely fascinating; goofy but not the way that grates directly on Albert's nerves; emotional bucket; technically his peer on a few levels. And he's been honest with Albert, so far at least, and that is kind of new too, 'cos if he's been honest then he's also a bit silly--bidding on someone who reminds you of someone is kind of dumbly sentimental unless there's a hidden motive, which Albert, of course, could not find from their conversation, which just gives him a headache!
It's refreshing, and offputting, and a little confusing, and irritating, especially because Abel isn't the type of person you keep guards up around for very long and Albert ALWAYS HAS GUARDS UP no matter what. Wacky brain antics go!
...of course Albert will reveal almost absolutely none of this because anyone he unclenches around will of course automatically be seen as a weak point. RETARD.
Lastly, the Krusnik thing is something I hope doesn't have to come up either. Because it is power, if it's understood, and Albert will of course try to understand and use it if he glimpses it. It would be a little like Yuber, the demon he summoned to assist in the war, and it would shunt Abel waaay back into the tool > person corner again.
YEAH THAT ABOUT COVERS IT
