Well, Violet has been back in camp for a little over a month, so! Relationship/first impressions meme goes here. You're by no means obligated to reverse, but certainly welcome to!
Uh, okay. First of all, Violet... does not really consider Ash to be family in the same way she does Kieran, nor in the way she considers Vimes to be her family if I ever get around to essaying on that. However, she doesn't really consider either of them to be her friends, whereas Ash she very much does -- not an equal, but definitely a friend. She likes him. A lot. He's smart and fun to talk to and willing to work with her, and he explains things to her and teaches her and is in general very good company. I can't really see them not getting along under any circumstances, let alone the ones they met under. He is all mentor-ly! Violet loev mentor.
Also he sort of rapidly became a huge emotional crutch orz. With the Vimes thing, and with Sophie leaving -- especially with Sophie leaving, because that was her other emotional crutch and am I sensing a pattern with your characters here? Anyway, yes. Ash makes Violet feel very safe and taken care of. Not in a parental way, or maybe it is a bit in a parental way, but she doesn't see him in that light or react to him as she would react to a parent figure. Just... very much in that way that one feels safe around close friends who are more adult and love you anyway. She doesn't care as much about his opinion of her as she does about Kieran's, though -- she is too secure that she can be however she needs to around him for that.
I dunno. Violet loev Ash. He is incredibly important to her, especially when you consider they have only known each other for a month, and she trusts him and cares about him as much as she does for any of her important people, but in a different way. A close friend/mentor way rather than a family way. This may just be because there is less stuff that she just sorta puts up with and because he is more the kind of companion she would choose for herself.
