Glitch is forever endeared to Petra for two reasons: pleasant company for tea, and more importantly, he fixed her locket. The sentimental value of that particular item of jewelry is, uh, complex, but the notion of a shadow of Martel breaking it beyond her ability to repair was ... hurtful and galling in a lot of conflicting ways. Petra will probably never explain to Glitch how much it meant to her that he could help, because she's p. sure it makes her sound like a fucking lunatic, but it's more or less secured him the ability to rely on her for assistance if he ever needs anything she can provide. He may or may not even have to ask. Emotions are weird.
As for Glitch as a person - she's not totally sure how to handle him, finding him by turns more delicate than she's used to and not, perhaps, as delicate as she'd thought. Which isn't reassuring because it only puzzles her. She likes Glitch, finding him charming and easy company, but he's kind of a mystery to her and she hasn't had the time she'd like to devote to puzzling him out. (Puzzling people out, you may have noticed, is kind of her thing.)
The addition of Ambrose Langwe (shit did I spell that right) to the mix only added to her bemusement and interest; she can't quite reconcile the two of them and she very much wants to. She was extraordinarily disappointed that she only had such a brief conversation with Ambrose, partly because he was intriguing in and of himself and partly because mostly there aren't a lot of people in Taxon who operate in a way she finds familiar, and it's comforting.
He scares her, but not enough to actually run the hell away from him, and that's because he intrigues her at the same time. The Master is kind of a walking reminder of the nebulous and unfocused and violent purpose that was foisted on her in the Academy. When she sees him, she's immediately reminded of boys she'd trained with there and killing doctors with pens and all manner of violent bloody rage. This absolutely terrifies her on the same level that she's terrified of herself when more lucidly aware of the things she could do and the things she has done, but there's this weird kind of kinship and respect there that keeps her from just staying away. He's also damn good at being charming, which puts her at ease even when it should be setting off alarm bells, and the ones it does set off River ignores on purpose because, hey, she's pretty scary, too. Not that she's above being a hypocrite; she's just aware that she'll find a different kind of camaraderie with other scary people that all the not-scary folks won't get.
It doesn't really help that she doesn't think of the Extras as real people, so seeing him killing them all willy-nilly doesn't phase her. It should, but the whole thing is hardly a blip on her morality radar, and that is probably a huge problem.
She should really get to see and talk with him while he's Yana-fied. That violence and anger is still there kind of, but she'll find him to be a sweet fuddy-duddy and treat him like some absent minded professor from her childhood.
This will be brief, BUT: Sol thus far likes Glitch in basically the same way that Sol likes kittens and sunny afternoons. They're not hugely important or necessary to his life, but they are nice to have around and at least as far as small fuzzy animals go, you have to treat them gently. He intends to introduce Glitch and Leila at the ball.
Oh lord, it was just one thread but where do I start?
Like with the Master, she's got this natural kinship going on with him if only for the fact that half his brain is gone. Other people in the city may have been tortured, and they may have been experimented on, and they may have been changed, but Glitch is the only one who could possibly understand the very personal and unique tragedy of the kind of invasive trauma they've suffered re: their brains. He is probably the only one who will get being incredibly intelligent and having the ability to adequately express it taken away. Dawn understands the girl part, and the Master understands the violence, but Glitch will understand that unique frustration and loss.
Also, ngl they would make the most awesome dance/fight-combo team in the history of ever.
WE HAVE TO FINISH THAT THREAD CRY
anyway.
Enfys likes Trixie; by all appearances, she's got her shit together, she doesn't fuck around, and she is an awesome time judging from what Enfys does and does not remember about why she woke up in a wheelbarrow. Enfys likes for people to be/appear straightforward, because she is sort of disconcerted by someone she can't place somehow and let's be honest, okay, Enfys is pretty shitty at interpersonal everything and most people are difficult for her to place.
Trixie is someone she can cheerfully get along with, where 'get along' may mean hooning around Taxon in Trixie's car hurling water balloons at Extras with Penelope or possibly drunkenly ranting about shit, which also still needs to happen because...that's great, basically. (That said, the idea of Enfys glaring at a bottle of beer like I know what you do may actually...happen, lol didn't drink. IF EVER THERE WERE A TIME TO START, I GUESS.)
I think Trixie is somebody that Enfys will legit trust in due time (a relative rarity), although if called upon to explain why she...would not be able to, what do you want from her, she is peopledumb. I also think Taxon should like...tremble a little, maybe.
