Their conversations have been few, but from both his actions and words Winry has begun to consider Toshizou one of their most valuable members. He's been there from the beginning, and I imagine in that time there have been a lot of off and on members so she's glad by his dedication, and impressed by his perseverance. He comes across to her as one of those people who is almost always collected, and able to look at situations from a completely object and analytical perspective which is something she wishes she could do better, since she often lets her own emotions cloud her thought. It is one of the things that makes him such a good strategist in her mind.
She never really knew exactly what happened with him and Souji, but from her meeting with Souji she really like him and was a little concerned about that. But since things seemed to have calmed down, and Souji seems happier, she is glad that things are in the clear for them.
One concern Winry had regarding him is how she sometimes makes herself act. She has an almost instinctive respect for most elders, something that stemmed off from being raised and taught by her grandmother, so it still feels strange to her to give orders to someone older than her. Toshizou is probably one of the people who Winry feels she must act a particular way around to gain their respect, and if she ever feels she doesn't have that than she might begin to internally falter on being their leader.
Overall though, impressions are great, and she is very glad to have him onboard. \o/
Her impressions of him are pretty spot-on, really--especially about needing to come off a certain way to make a good one on him. He is an utter bitch for superiors who don't gain his respect to deal with, but so far, Winry has struck him as sufficiently capable and collected.
He doesn't really get her emotional, nurturing side, since he tends to view bottling up things that might get in the way in a battle as the best way to go and any mercy shown to those on one's own side as useless coddling, only going to cause trouble in the long run. If he knew her better, he'd doubtless say so, but since she's his superior and they're not really close, he opts not to cause unnecessary fuss by criticizing her.
He still feels like it's his fault she got dumped off the ship. He feels like EVERYTHING is his fault, granted, but that's still hitting him a little hard.
