1K comments, first impressions/relationship meme, where the hell did all of those comments come from so quickly, etc.. Be warned that I will be asking for reverses. Also, that this might take me a while, since yesterday's internet blackout left me quite behind.

Erik, you don't count, you're getting your own essay or something.

Ryuuken and first impressions for Fuuma?

[mind_over_metal]

Fuuma is the sort of person that Charles would have really liked when he was a student, in the life before Moira approached him in the bar and everything changed. Intelligent, friendly, handsome, charming, just slightly wild without being too rough. The type of person with whom one could have entertaining conversations without getting too close. As things currently are, Charles views Fuuma as probably a good person for information and certainly wouldn't object to his company, but his active, personal interest is limited.

Charles really likes Dr. Ishida. He has a lot of respect for Ryuuken as a professional. And as has been shown, Charles has a thing for the grumpy ones. IT'S JUST SO FUN TO LET THE PRICKLY EXTERIORS ROLL OFF HIS BACK AND ENJOY THE SQUISHINESS THAT HE KNOWS IS INSIDE :x But Charles really does trust Ryuuken a lot as a doctor, and he really helped him when he first arrived in camp, so that was a super-strong first impression. As was Ryuuken's sadness. That also struck a very sensitive place for Charles when he first arrived in camp, given what had just recently happened to him in his life. And Charles is very stubborn about sticking by sad people normally anyways.

Charles is feeling less sad these days and more... tumultuous, so he's probably less with any sympathetic fits of melancholy. But it's still a relief for him to hang out with Ryuuken sometimes and just... not have to be all right or set an example or Be The Adult or save the world.

Reverse, plase?
