Xǔ "Henry" Weihao/Relationships

## Lucius Jan van Niel

> *"One of the many bleeding hearts aboard The Parable."*
>
>

Though they started off on the wrong foot - and to no fault of his, he might add - he firmly believes this man is kinder than he originally lets onto. Lucius is reserved, bordering on shy at times around him. He's not quite sure what it is about him that's so off-putting when he regards how Lucius interacts with the others. He's come to like talking to the other man due to his rather tale telling responses to his advances and quips.

However, having seen Lucius rather unkempt, he fears how fragile Lucius's heart might be. He feels like it's hard to really build a bond with Lucius past the acquaintanceship they have. And if he turns out to be an alcoholic like a certain someone, Henry's not certain if he has the energy to deal with that a second time.

## Cordelia “Cor” Jackson Sommers

> *"O Captain, My Captain."*
>
>

He would be hard pressed to say he *likes* Captain Cordelia Jackson Sommers, but he certainly finds her an intriguing character with her charms. Her personality is rambunctious and every bit like The Parable. Some people match their dogs to a t, the Captain matches her ship. He certainly doesn't dislike her! He actually finds her to be a fascinating individual though. He supposes it must be because they're from two different worlds, but he knows he'll have to grow acquaintanced to her and learn from her. After all, he's stepping into *her* realm, not the other way around.

Besides, with a reputation like hers, he supposes they have a bit in common! Though his is much more kind in a nefarious way. One day he'll convince her to fix up the ship for hot water, but for now, smuggling all his books aboard by placing them in her library will have to suffice.

## Misora Hayashi

> *"If she was on fire, I wouldn't be in a hurry to put it out."*
>
>

The only individual aboard the ship Henry can say firmly he *despises* and that's a rarity for him. He likes to fancy himself the bigger man, but there's something about Mimi that eats away at him. She reminds him of his dearly departed father, and every time they clash he remembers the old man's last moments. At first, he had attempted to get off on the right foot with her, but upon her claims of knowing him, Henry can't imagine she does.

They've hardly conversed much less- Regardless, she's terrible. He'll leave it at that.

## Cicero Alesandro Price

> *"Oh my, even Wallace wasn't this bad."*
>
>

He has stories of the wealthy and upper-class in abundance. They happen to be the folk that came to him for his expertise and from the very first moment they met, Cicero Alesandro Pierce reeked of that wealth. He's posh, naive, and completely devoted to whatever traditions Cardengate seems to boast as its moral high ground. Cicero has the makings of a rich boy with all the book smarts and none of the street smarts. He'll be swindled out of his money any day now. That is if he isn't thrown overboard by a crew member he offends or hides himself away in embarrassment. He thinks the kid isn't bad, but he sure is Typical rich boy with daddy issues. Or mommy issues. Or family issues. Whatever it is, the young man sure has issues.

He's torn between helping him out between the rock and a hard place he's firmly wedged himself into and allowing the others to force him to explore the world outside of what he firmly believes to be the norm. Perhaps he'd keep an eye on him if Diana wasn't already.

## Diana Abeque Joy

> *"A woman of quiet competence, she has my respect. A shame she lacks a sense of humor."*
>
>

Diana has the makings of a woman that simply isn't to be trifled with. She carries herself with confidence and sticks to her guns. She doesn't fear saying what she has on her mind and as far as he's concerned, she's the most competent crew member aboard The Parable. However, that alone is not enough for Henry to leave her to her own devices. If anything, knowing how much she dislikes him has fueled him to push her buttons. further Not because he has to but because he simply wants to either prove her right in her distaste by simply living life to its fullest *and* taking all her insults as compliments, or change her mind of him. He's not quite sure which he prefers though he must say he doesn't want to be on bad terms with somebody Gia respects.

## Gia Mai

> *"A good kid. I don't know what it's like to have siblings, but I reckon knowing Gia is like having a younger sister."*
>
>

Henry 's never met someone who says so much and so little and gives and gives without giving like Gia does. There is so much to her that he cannot even begin to unpack what is hiding underneath the surface. Beneath the armor she wears with her bright smile and peppy attitude, he cannot shake away the feeling that she is just as lost as he is. Doomed - or cursed - to wander ceaselessly in a way even he has not. He's called her a vagabond before though she calls herself a drifter. Both are true of her.

He respects her great intelligence and loves the relationship they have. Whether or not it will amount to anything is beyond him, but the time he's spent with her was not wasted so he'll never regret that. He finds her easy to talk to and he's determined to find this kid some hobbies that isn't just *work.*

## Chunlin Wu

> *"Brilliant but strangely sadistic. Reminds me of some of my clientele and not in a good way. Either way, she's a joy to watch in action."*
>
>

Henry doesn't want to assume, but when it comes to Chunlin, past that smile her tendencies and the tales Watson has told him has caused him to raise his brow in surprise. He's not really sure where she falls with him. They haven't really interacted outside of one or two conversations, there's not much to her at the moment and he'd hate to settle with his gut feeling that something is *off* about the way she conducts herself. Perhaps she's just interested in the nature of crime the way he is. She certainly has the mind of a detective - and he would know after being acquittanced with so many. Perhaps that's why the sense of danger falls heavy on her gut with her? He remembers the cops that laid in bed with him for information well. Though danger has never been enough to stop him from having a wonderfully charming conversation and her antics have made for a great laugh.

## Aster Vega Blumenthal

> *"My, he sure is tall. And sad. How many battles has this boy fought by himself?"*
>
>

Like broken glass. Tentative, quiet, withdrawn. He remembers when Raymond was like that - at rock bottom with nothing left, baring a bleeding heart to the world. As they say, the good die young. He hope that's not the end for Aster, of course, but it can't make him help but wonder what's the cause of all this pain? Though he didn't respond to the poem Aster crafted, he knows the true meaning of it. He fears Aster is like a mouse though - confrontation will drive him away. He's good at taking care of people so if the kid needs a rock, he'll be as steady as can be.

Besides, why's the kid so damn tall? He needs to eat more.

## Octavian Englle

> *"An enigma as far as I'm concerned, but he makes for good company and a wonderful dance partner!"*
>
