The Character Relationships Meme!

Because I noticed we haven't had one of these in quite a while. This meme is pretty simple! Just:

1. Post your character(s).

2. Comment to other characters asking what they think of yours right now, and answer anyone who comments to your thread.

3. Lovely CR descriptions for all!

Kimblee on Hughes: ...in all honesty, Kimblee isn't always entirely sure what to think of Hughes. I mean, on his end he does respect him; Hughes is both consistent in his beliefs and the sort of person whose beliefs Kimblee can actually understand, even if he doesn't always agree with them. He doesn't care about Hughes, in any sort of deep sense, and he doesn't consider them to be friends, because Kimblee doesn't exactly make friends and his grasp on what constitutes friendship and what does not is very poor besides - but he is very fond of him; he won't put Hughes before himself, but he does put him before a good amount of people that he knows. While he won't go out of his way to protect him at all, he doesn't explicitly want harm to befall him either, and he's willing to do favors for Hughes if it won't be detrimental or inconvenient for himself. He actually did mean what he said to Roy, regarding why he told Hughes about his death - warning Hughes wouldn't hurt Kimblee in any way or set him back at all, and not telling him would put Hughes at a disadvantage, which is something that Kimblee didn't see a reason to do, given that he actually does respect Hughes.

What's confusing him is that he doesn't understand why Hughes is treating him the way he is; it's obvious to him that Hughes is a Good Person, and in his experience Good People who know what Kimblee did in Ishval tend to either want to avoid him or treat him like a lesser being who deserves to be shamed for what he did at every opportunity (the fact that he never actually does feel horrible about it notwithstanding). Whereas Hughes actually treats him like a person - he initiates conversations over the Gear for reasons other than obligation, he trolls him quite a bit and is willing to joke with him (even if Kimblee doesn't always know what to do with it), he actually seems to be okay with talking to him individually, and he never acts like Kimblee isn't worth his time; he just treats him like pretty much everyone else. Kimblee doesn't really acknowledge it very much, but he...really likes that. He doesn't understand why Hughes is doing it and he suspects it's primarily to stay on his good side; even if that is the case, then damn it, it's working.

He also finds Hughes to be...surprisingly intelligent under all the trollface. Ace Alchemist Investigations, fuck yeah?


Kimblee on Gluttony: ...this is going to be very short, but basically he finds talking to Gluttony to be the equivalent of being tasked with breaking down a brick wall. Using nothing but his face.

...yep.

[mayieatthat]

He treats Kimblee like a normal human being because everyone deserves to be treated like a normal human being...? He doesn't really understand why this is that big of a deal.

Also. Accurate on Gluttony...
