She fought with April all the time, broke a lot of things on accident and on purpose because she forgot she shouldn't break things, and she yells like all the time.
She has a tendency to drive me up a wall. It took a while before she and I managed to really communicate properly. Oddly, it was Barry who helped mediate that.
Leo did not consent to being thrown off a high place. [Just in case Hunter Worries.]
He is also different from me. I rely a lot on familiarity.
For example, Leo. I have lived with him for years, and thus observed things that do and do not work and I can use that as a basis for when I have found myself in a situation I don't understand with Leo. Such as Leo likes magicians. I do not. However, since he likes them, I will engage in the topic or events in good faith because while I do not get his fascination, I understand he does have one and he likes sharing something he enjoys with us.
Likewise, Leo knows me enough to know how to translate my intentions. He knows I engage because I care about him and its nice to make him happy and at least I assume he appreciates the effort. He is also got a 98 percent accuracy rate at gauging when I am able to handle certain forms of touch or take certain kinds of fighting. A rate that has improved over time.
The want to understand and familiarize is a kind of affection I greatly value and appreciate.
But I had no one who was familiar, and that was...
Not great.
So having someone who understood easily for once? It helped greatly.
Oh. Um. Uh - well, I definitely don't throw people off roofs or doublecross them any more.
[ Sorry, former midboss. Safe now though!
Anyway, he listens to that, nodding a little. It makes sense to him anyway. Unfortunately, Belos provided him a lot of practice. Donnie and Belos are hardly the same, of course, but ... ]
I - I knew some of that, but I didn't realize how much it meant.
Yeah, it means a lot to him. [Reaches to shove at Donnie a little.]
Still don't see how you don't like magicians, they're cool. But- [Attention back to Hunter.] More just brother stuff, just like I don't really get all his tech nerd stuff, but I'll listen to as much as I can when he needs to get it out of his head.

Yeah. I - guess I do have all of you now.
Who’s Cassandra?

Woman who was an enemy, then changed sides at the last second. Pretty sure it's because she got to know dad, but she's a friend now.

Draxum was all Mikey though. He was very determined on reforming him.

Señor Hueso is absolutely my favorite uncle, he just hasn't accepted his position in the family yet.

You and Shirou, though Shirou is just me so far.
no subject
Shirou's pretty nice, though. I don't blame you.

[NOT IMPRESSED YET.]

He is nice. He helped a lot until Leo showed up.
You as well, but in different functions.

Just.
Having someone that just...understood. Who I could figure out how to talk to.
no subject
That's all it takes?

Draxum also threw people off a roof of his own volition. He's also some centuries old, more than old enough to make his own decisions.
[He baps lightly at Leo's hand with the one gesturing in the air, face still hidden because Feelings.]
It wasn't something I encountered before. It was....an experience. [That moment when the ND aligns.]
People go to those shows where they know they are being tricked and go along with it. Where is the sense in that?
But yes, that. Even if he doesn't understand most of what I'm saying, having someone engage is appreciated.
