I've answered like ten of these and finally letting myself post mine I've done very small round of event tags today... I have some anime commitments rip me
Fitz: it's a joke but also he does think Walter is a serial killer. which he feels is on the low end (ie normal) of ending up on the barge but there's a range. he'd get it more if he knew about the connection to Misty. less in a 'understanding why Walter is there' and more 'genre awareness'. doesn't actually think of him unless he's seeing him directly
Xie Lian: he thinks Walter's concerns are understandable, as are his feelings. thinks his world is kind of weird but is always willing to try to learn more, as part of his interest in knowing more about Walter and wanting to help. thinks he has an understandable but not exactly healthy hero-crush on Trevor
Erskine: on many levels absolutely using Walter and also generally has a low opinion of people without magic. otoh the separation between 'planning side' and 'genuine separate feelings' is... far too strong with him, and that side thinks he's fun and interesting. thinks the Matrix thing is extremely fake but whatever gets people through the day
i think arthur and richter are the only ones of mine who give Walter the time of day, and richter more or less stopped when walter moved out of custodial
But he likes him and he empathizes with him because it’s hard to people and extra hard when you feel like you have to be the mask you wear all the time.
