WTW FEAST OF FRIGHT - DAY 17: Scarecrow

Introduce the main relationship(s) in your WIP

So, the main relationships in The light beyond are obviously the ones amongst the gang. The squad. The friends. Those being Kadmos, Nuri, Regina (who might be renamed), Berndt, Echo, and the weasel.

I was going to talk about the whole web but I guess we'll stick with Kadmos

Kadmos' relationship with the group as a whole is probably the most difficult out of all of them. He's the most recent addition, although he has been here for a few years now, and he struggled a lot to feel like he belonged. The others, especially Berndt and Nuri, made every effort to make him feel welcome, though, and eventually he allowed himself to be a little comfortable.

Kadmos looks up to Berndt as a fatherly friend (though he probably wouldn't call it that; he hasn't made great experiences with fathers) and is, in fact, least cagey about asking him for help. Berndt is always worried about him, knowing full well that Kadmos will nonetheless be hesitant to ask for help even if he needs it, and tries his best to give Kadmos excuses to ask indirectly.

Nuri, being his age, quickly becomes his best friend of the bunch though, the one he generally feels closest to and most comfortable with, and they spend a lot of time together. Nuri finds him delightful. He couldn't say why if asked, but it's something about the way he carries himself, even if Nuri, like Berndt, is constantly struggling against Kadmos' pride and other hangups in an effort to take care of him when needed. He doesn't want to lose him and so he treads carefully. Kadmos, on the other hand, very much doesn't want to be taken care of by Nuri. He wants to take care of Nuri. He's only starting to realize how much.

He admires Regina's knowledge and intelligence in her field, and she returns those feelings generously; when left alone, they're most likely to talk about magic theory or technology out of respect for the other's interest.

He's not very close with Echo, but he finds her quiet and calm manner reassuring. She rather reserved by nature, but fully categorizes him as friend.

The weasel has taken a liking to him, and what he might find patronizing from a human (in human shape, or whatever the case with the weasel may be) he finds more easily tolerable from the weasel; it's allowed to be more protective of him.
