Awwright, I'm in the mood for a ~question meme~ for Glacies and John Doe! Let's go back and forth until we're exhausted from words. I will also accept thread planning and CR plotting, because I've been remiss on that front, oops.

Okay, back at it!! So, on a personal level, Absinthe has been pretty gracious with Glacies, so she doesn't have a bad take on him. He does try to play games and do his skeezy thing, but it's not more than on a surface level. Glacies has never felt any threat from Absinthe, not physical or sexual, and she trusts that he is meting out information for his own sake and, possibly, hers. I mean, part of her feels for the fact that he isn't used to being treated as a normal human in some way, so she tries to keep it all fairly on the up and up, normal in as much as they can manage . . .

God, okay, I will say that her decision to not give too much credit to his reputation came from her trying to deceive him on their first meeting and, well, it just didn't work out! She didn't like the feeling that came from trying to play him, and he was too practiced with it, so she just has decided to be very forthcoming with him. Even when she sees that she is posing a threat to his own aims, Glacies has come straight out and said that she is without any heat to it. It helps that the Absinthe reaction to half of her bullshit is just to sigh and shrug. He is really indulging of her! Glacies takes all her memories with him, to be perfectly honest with him on what she knows, and she invites him over for tea, and she just treats him like a friend. Hell, she stabbed him, and he did a lot more to help her as she was freaking out than she did for him.

Honestly, he kind of is a mentor, too! As she learns more about herself and her world, she can see where her destiny is paralleling his, so she really has no one else but him to learn from to try and make her go of it better. She doesn't know that they are both the only functioning humans with scourge, but she wouldn't be surprised if they were. It certainly seemed a surprise to Thorn and Cobalt when she talked to them. The fact they share such common points of history and identity ties right back into making it hard to chastise him for his behavior. What is she going to say when some odd years down the road she could be doing the exact same thing?

ANYWAY, WORDS WORDS WORDS. Glacies is fairly positive on Absinthe! She has the potential to get very steamed at him, but it comes from a place of compassion rather than disgust! And she got to give him a hug and no one died, super great!!
