Azira finds Casilu very intimidating. He's not sure why since she's always been very nice and helpful to him if he's talked to her, usually asking her to make something for him, but he'd still probably yelp and run away if she glared anywhere in his general direction.

Casilu is an outlier. Akui sees her as a force of randomness in the world, someone who changes paths the way that most people change hats. Akui is oddly impressed with her, from the outside at least, seemingly freewheeling ability to sort of crash through life in a contradictory fashion.

(oops, got ninja'd! I don't know the person above me though, so leaving it!)

Okay due to the ninja-ing I'll try and do double-duty:

Sylandra thinks Azira is a sweetheart. It'd been her own personal worry that since she got elected, she'd become boring, and it was talks with people like Azira that reminded her how to have fun. Whether it's through teaching their thunderbirds how to dance, having pleasant discussions in the library, or playfully joking, Azira is one member of Hallifax Sylandra feels like she can be herself around, and greatly appreciates him for that.

Akui, Sylandra didn't know well. But she did remember when Hallifax was raided Akui would be one of the few Celestians in particular who would assist consistently in the city's defense. Due to this, she appreciates him rather greatly, and dislikes the fact that they now face each other on the other side of the battlefield.

That me?

Eliron adores Sylandra, even though he sees the current distance between them as a political necessity. He sees her as someone who was originally charming in an innocent way, intelligent but slightly self-centered in her focus on happiness for herself and those she cared about. Now he sees her as someone who utterly came into her own politically, artistically and personally. Whatever he thinks about the change in political alliances, he admires Sylandra for her dedication to her home in choosing it over her own personal ties, and he secretly suspects she can be just as good as any member of the Glomdoring when it comes to trickery and deception (from him, this is a compliment).

What to say, what to say...

Maellio will first and foremost always consider Eliron his little brother, with all the trappings that involves, even if current circumstances prevent much of what was once a rather fine dance of metaphor, riddles, and mutual non-sense from playing out. He'll also always consider Eliron the stronger of the pair in those regards - always finding a new way to frustrate and confound.

At the moment - while he's certainly rather pained at the circumstances, he's rather proud of Eliron turning things around and strengthening his ties to Glomdoring (a decision he can certainly understand, if not agree with).

Maellio. Maellio... not seen him much lately. But of all the Institute members Kira knows (except Casi who is Casi), Kira finds Maellio to be the least pretentious. He still seems to have no concept of ethical research, but that's the norm for institute members, so Kira has learned to deal with it. Personally, Maellio is also sociable. You can really talk to him. All in all, Kira thinks Maellio is likeable.

Rivius sees Kiradawea as a vaguely motherly figure. He finds her easy to talk to about troubles, and appreciates the fact that she doesn't do much judging. Toward recent events, he has become a slight bit weirded out by her and her occasional insanity, and wants to go on being friends with her, but is honestly wondering if he can manage to maintain things like they once were.

Everiine sees in Rivius much of the same wide-eyed youth that he himself once possessed. He sees Rivius as eager to make his way in the world. Rivius has what Ev considers a healthy respect for tradition and spirituality, a mind open for learning, and an optimism that sees past most cynical parts of the world. Ev only hopes that time does not wear Rivius down and turn him into a cranky old bird too.

Rivius is a nice pup. Kira is quite fond of him, which makes it even more painful that she doesn't like speaking to him. She feels that she always manage to screw up whenever she talks to him, and ends up feeling like he'd rather want her far away. Probably because she does. She's hardly the easiest person to deal with. She's still very fond of him, and wishes she could speak to him without always feeling awkward.

Erk. Sneaky ninja!

Everything Kira knows about Ev, she knows through Gleip. From what she's gathered, Ev is a bit too autonomous. She knows him as a leader-figure within Serenwilde, and when you're a leader-figure you are expected to a much higher standard than others. This is more due to the steadfast loyalty towards the cause of Serenwilde (a virtue Kira enjoys), more than any active political maneuvering. Still, she's choosing to reserve judgement for when she'll finally get to meet him, instead of hearing about him through hearsay. Not that it stops her from considering wether or not she should "thank" him for initiating the Hai'Gloh that finally got Raziela liberated.

Llesvelt actually knows a little bit about Everiine, which is surprising because he is not a Hallifaxian. He knows that he is apparantly a Trill who takes residence in Serenwilde and has become somewhat distinguished. While this troubles him, seeing that he believes all Trills should return to their "rightful home", he can't help but be slightly interested in Everiine's reasoning behind this, and if he ever got the chance (which is unlikely) that would probably be one of the questions to ask.

EDIT: Gah, ninja'd.

Well, Llesvelt knows nothing about Kiradawea except the fact that Kiradawea is a Hallifaxian. He vaguely remembers speaking, once or twice, with this individual. Forgot most of the interaction.

Llesvelt Kira remembers as the Sentinel who was implying that we must dissent against the cruel oppression of Arte, or something. That discussion ended up quite interesting actually. She quickly realized that they probably would never agree on political stances, especially due to Kira's less than totalitarian view on the Hallifaxian caste system. Replacing one megalomaniac with another would not do anything to actually improve the situation as it is, as the Hallifaxian communistic apparent belief would still be that, apparent. A caste system should be genuinely meritocratic, and not just a glorified despotism where at the end of the day, everyone is a serf to the elite families.

Ilyssa hasn't really talked to Kiradawea a lot, but feels a sort of kinship with her with both of them leaving Celest on more than unfriendly terms, and has always looked for a way to stir up conversation with her, but ohmygawd im so horrible at chitchat.

*this post does not count. Comment on Jeanne. She tends to do stuff that is commentable.

Phoebus has been highly critical of Ilyssa ever since she became engaged to her only natural daughter, Tsianina. In the past she has known her to be a bit flighty and capricious, especially as she was a member of Lyreth's order, and worries on occasion that she may encourage such behavior within her own family. Though they have been friends in the past (admittedly not very close ones, as Phoebus does not keep too many close friendships) she has been far colder to her since the engagement, though in time will likely warm up to her...if she behaves appropriately. Ilyssa's decision to choose Hallifax over Lyreth was a point in her favor. She doesn't think Ilyssa is a bad person, really, she's just a bit overprotective of her daughter and just wants to be sure that everything is going to be alright.

Plus there was that period of time where Ilyssa would come to her for advice about wooing the man that Phoebus secretly had feelings for...

Llesvelt thinks of Phoebus mainly as a political opponent, since they seem to be opposed in their goals more often than not. Outside of politics he generally does not mind her, had some friendly chats with her once some long time ago. He does have a hard time letting go of the fact that they (to his knowledge) feel so different about what is best for the Collective, and with less and less personal interaction his view of her has begun to sour, privately too. He does not feel that she lives up to the responsibilities of the Archmage position, but seeing that Cririk Adom (who is basically a rockstar in his eyes) once held it, his standards are not exactly fair. He likes the result of her work with the DVA, but believes this (as well as many things she does) is beneath the Archmage and should be delegated to some lesser bureaucrat.

Daraius still thinks of Llesvelt as a brother even though Saaga wasn't able to go through with the adoption. He admires Llesvelt's art and his ability to be a 'genuine politician,' but wishes he would focus more on the former than the latter. Daraius regrets not having much to talk to Llesvelt about anymore, since politics always seems to be the topic at hand.

Daraius is Krackenor's first (legal) Hallifaxian customer, and as such was pleased to meet him as it symbolized an opening of economic doors.

Phoebus does not know much about Krackenor, besides that he was once married to her rather offbeat friend, Casilu. This intrigues her, and has always put the notion in the back of her mind that they ought to talk some day. However she is not very good at approaching people for conversation, and so it is entirely likely that they shall never actually meet, which is unfortunate.

Ayisdra remembers Phoebus would make horrible cooking designs and feed people such things and not tell them. Ayisdra did use Phoebus a few times for tailoring but not much beyond on. From what I (as a player) remember, Ayisdra did enjoy the small talks that happen here and there.
