I think bonding shenanigans will be great. :3 Albert and Reid rushing around the kitchen, everyone drinking wine and/or scotch, everyone trying to make sure that Mio and the Viking kids don't drink any wine and/or scotch, so on and so forth IT'LL BE AWESOME. And also Amanda will try bugging Albert when Reid isn't looking because she's mature like that.
I think that would be a pretty good argument. If Reid knows he can't trust someone, he doesn't have to worry about whether or not he should allow them to get close. That hasn't quite occurred to him yet, although even when it does, he'll still probably end up trusting her with time. Yes, she's a thief and a wanted criminal, but she has morals and she's careful about not getting innocent people hurt. In his eyes, that's still pretty good.
Oh god, where to start? You can take your pick, if you like: issues letting people close to him, abandonment complex, issues admitting that he's hurt or affected by something, constant lingering fear of being schizophrenic and Johto being a massive psychotic break, issues admitting to his need to numb extraordinary pain and thus his continued cravings for Dilaudid, issues standing up for himself if someone is beating him and only him down, issues about second-guessing himself and blaming himself for various deaths, traumas, (and in one case, the survival) of and to people even if he couldn't always help it, his lack of confidence, etc. etc. etc. etc. Kid's a mess and obviously the best way to deal with that is with a really determined thief plus SHENANIGANS.
