jedao would genuinely just say how nice he is

(for John obv)

like the temptation to say sextacles is there but it's not the truth

they both have such a huge capacity for empathy but Jedao is much more prepared to set it aside

99% of the time it wouldn't even occur to John, and when he's tempted he fights it so hard

and Jedao understands how hard that can be, and also how rare it is

and he does a little bit feel like it's his job to protect John because John is The Nice One (the ego on this preschooler lol)

his favorite thing about Florian is that Florian is a FUCKING PROFESSIONAL

excuse Hanna, he's shoving to the front to say John is compassionate and can give you a hug in a million different ways and that's awesome. and Vinny's sense of humor is the best and he likes his eyes, thank you.

B is still quite fond of John's smile, and his kindness. he admires Saga's integrity (also look, she's pretty fine, too. he has a type and that type is fighty people with a strong justice streak)

kahl would say out loud that Jamie's best feature is his rage but in his secret heart it's that he never forgets the lost boys that everyone else forgot

on the exact opposite end of the scale, Arthur will rave for days about john's humanity (which is honestly just shorthand for his empathy and compassion) because he knows what John is like at his worst, and what the King is like in general, and he's so fucking proud of John for consistently choosing kindness despite knowing how easy it is to harm instead

Abel would say John's earnest approach is his favorite. also he's got those gold eyes. very distracting.

how could lestat choose just one (for reid)!!! probably also his very charming smile when he chooses to do it

shipoftheseus: Florian feels the same way about Jedao. Thank you for doing a JOB properly, sir. He's appreciated that since he was an inmate.

And to be fair to Kahl, they're two sides of the same coin. The rage will never die because he will never forget those boys. And he'll always feel A Lot about children who were betrayed or abandoned.

...and Jedao's not wrong. John can and has been an asshole. But he also lets people hurt him a little too often.

BBitsaboi: Vincent would like Hanna to shut his stupid face up. But he's also smiling in a slightly goofy way. And both Abel and Hanna are sweet.

JAMIE GETS HIM

that's sort of his whole existence. and it's like. he's never lived in someone's heart before

It will never be okay! and someone should ALWAYS be upset about it.

and if he knew more about Kahl, he'd be angry about him too.

Sokie would just gesture at John and say everything, have you met him

he... has a feeling but he won't ask because he wouldn't want him to go over it if it hurts

you know what if Jamie is Boating Kahl could definitely be like. tagging along as the sea monster to look out for him and then grumpily climb in

shipoftheseus: awww yessss

as he puts on that terrible version of can't stop the feeling from DreamWorks trolls and is forcibly removed from his Cabin

Yelena deeply appreciates Jamie's competence.

quantumvelvet: he appreciates her concern for concrete concerns in return

(this man has been doing group logistics for So Long, what is relaxing)

but more seriously on Sokies answer: he has a way of focusing and listening that shows he is absolutely dedicating his attention to whoever is talking. she likes that. and how he always tries to seek her gaze.

Aerith likes that John understands that feeling of Other, being part of but not exactly the same. that he chooses kindness, like she does.

Saga, she thinks steady. she's always ready to take down trouble whatever form it takes. Florian is sophisticated but he has a way of seeing to the heart of the matter. Vincent, he has this disarming charm once you get to know him.

Taylor says Kiryu's solidity, how he's never going to give in when he's pushing back against her damage.

TheHats: nope never
