Relationship me, I am curious.

:|a damn, I can't find old relationship-thoughts so I may not be too accurate with what's changed and what hasn't. BUT basically Link's thoughts will now revolve around Jace's relationship to Edward because that's the strongest point of connection between Link and Jace. Link is willing to give Jace a lot of leeway with Edward because he's positive Jace is well-intentioned. He does think less involvement might have been better in the beginning because of how aware Link is of the desires of the rest of his team, but he also thinks the weight of being aware of a team's feelings and weighing that against personal desires falls to Ed to deal with (not that he isn't willing to give advice and assistance where needed). He won't make someone's decisions for them when it comes to things like other people's relationships, because of how he dealt with Allen and Slick.

So all that said, Link does feel a certain private, general disappointment that Ed had to turn to another team to get moral support, which now colors his view of Jace a bit. And while it doesn't have as much to do with Jace himself as much as the idea of not being seen as someone who can be relied upon, he can't help a tiny bit of jealousy/disapprove. XD; Jace being Ed's strongest bond galls Link a little in his provider-nurturer place, basically. IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT and Link doesn't consider it important in his non-emotions places.

GOSH THAT ALL SOUNDS LIKE BAD NEWS, uh, it's not really \o\ /o/. Link does honestly trust Jace to be a caring friend to Ed, and to always be interested in Ed's welfare. He's not certain he always trusts Jace to make the decisions Link would consider best but he chalks that up to them having different ways of handling people and also different priorities. But it is a good thing for Ed to have friends. Friends are important. OVERALL he views Jace as a good guy, but there's some complicated stuff there which he intends to mostly just let sort itself out with perhaps some nudging here and there. He remains generally respectful and unafraid that Jace will suddenly decide to tear up his/Ed's/his team's minds.

UH--return? I kind of assume Jace see's Link as the Parent He Must Impress now...

Kind of! But Jace honestly has had a huge amount of respect for Link for quite a while, now, and Link's handling of the general situation only increases that. A lot like Link thinks of him, actually, he trusts Link to make decisions with the general welfare in mind, and even if they're sometimes not the decisions Jace would have made, they're still decisions he can understand and respect. Jace also has a huuuuuge self-determination ping, both because of how Canis generally handles matters like this and because he knows how very easy it would be for him to not have a ping like that, and how terrible that would be. So he's got an enormous amount of respect for free will, and Link's general mode being "I will let everyone make their own decisions because I don't have the right to make them for them and they are responsible adults" scores major points every time.

He doesn't feel particularly close to Link, but he'd honestly like to get to know him better, and not just because he's the Parent He Must Impress. Link's tied into several things which impact Jace (such as Allen), but even if that weren't true he'd still like to talk more. The main reason he hasn't is that, at this point, poking someone else on Del would probably start pushing his luck. XD;

(And yeah, the chance that Jace will do anything to damage Ed is actually less than zero at this point, pretty much zero for Link. :|a)

Hmmmm. Speak to me of Link and Allen Walker.
