Due to being the only two humans in the party, Beau and Caleb are often referred to as Empire Kids or Empire Siblings. Similar to the show, Beau is often portrayed as protective of Caleb in the fanworks.
In canon, they have problems communicating well with each other and the fandom loves every conversation they manage to haveSo I love this conversation a lot, because it shows so much GROWTH, babey. by theregoesmylurkerstatus. Some fans also recall (using gifsets from actual gameplay) the number of mirroring conversations Beau and Caleb have with each other that aim at staying together.
