Relationship between Callum and Echo

Callum and Emiko have such a normal relationship and have not gone back and forth at any point during the duration of this campaign :]
I will write this fully when I'm drunk enough.
I think in summary...
- Echo and Callum started on kind of okay terms?
- Callum and Echo quickly butt heads over the former's disdain towards poison (which she uses liberally) and the latter's insistence on perfection (to which Callum thinks no one is perfect)
- Echo and Callum both latch onto Zari
- Echo calls Callum a "lowborn"
- Echo steals Callum's antler necklace, but her tampering with the antler results in Karma's Ego-corruption and subsequent death
- Callum tries to hug her (not being immediately aware of what occurred), though Echo pushes him away
- Callum manages to see through Echo's lie due to the help of Walker (and Karma's corruption), causing Callum to be wary of Echo and the two to nearly break out into violence
- Callum is unnerved by Echo immediately forgetting about Karma
- Callum later reveals that he's the son of Vikas (which makes Echo significantly friendlier towards him)
- Callum also reveals that Vikas is tied to Joy - though this trust just seems to be based in the fact that it's "obvious" (to him), and by extension hinting at Ego being tied to Joy as well
- Echo reveals that she's tied to Vanity, causing Callum to call the two of them "kindred spirits," marking the proper beginning of their bond
- Echo and Callum find more common ground in a mutual disdain towards Ryfon and the Illuminators
- Echo reprimands Callum for "corrupting" an ankheg, which causes the two to bicker again
- Ego-Callum goes berserk in the theater and is rendered to a nonverbal state, Echo ends up giving him a hug in what is effectively her first act of humanity
- Echo reveals that she broke the antler (which Callum reveals he suspected), but wants to make amends and offers him a new hand-made one as an apology as well as revealing her real name to be Emiko - though she asks they keep it between them
- Echo says Callum is her favorite (this is so true I like this point in particular)
- Callum accepts the apology on the condition that she makes decisions for herself rather than simply following orders and warns her that messing with Ego will kill her
- Echo later helps Callum get away safely from Hiro after the latter spots him
- The two pretend to be nobles together 
- Echo and Callum end up squabbling again after a slightly-unhinged Callum prepared to kill Rovan, but the two make amends (though they remain on tense terms)
- Echo tells Callum that Hiro is looking for him and will only cooperate if she gives him up, she reveals that she had no intention to do so 
- After Ego-Callum goes berserk again, Echo manages to play to his love of animals to get him to stop his rampage by using her familiars
- Echo later asks Callum some questions about Vikas that she gathered (admitting that she was getting information on him)
- He answers her questions honestly
- Callum shows concern about Echo's safety by telling her to never mention the name "Zhonghou"
- He reveals that he ran away from Vikas
- Callum and Echo bond over animals at the Dollhouse :)
- Callum puts aside his fears of Vikas to help Echo free her imprisoned handmaiden
- Echo promises to help Callum hide from Vikas if the big man is spotted
- Callum also warns Echo to hide her Order stuff, noting that he would almost certainly kill her on sight if he recognized it
- Callum is spotted by Vikas but Echo doesn't have time to react (so it isn't her fault we cool)
- Callum freezes up outside the Bastion, but Echo is quick to his side and help him in
- Presently on pretty solid terms, nothing will go horribly wrong!
