Dirk is doing really well with them lately simply because he is SO HAPPY all the time because of Dave. Being in a good mood vastly improves his desire to touch and be touched. But his base tolerance is getting a lot better, and, in general, he feels like he is doing good at the socializing thing.

Does Rider feel accepted outside of Heliodor? Does he feel like he has a lot of friends?

Rider is weird about friends. It takes a loooong while before he's willing to say he's friends with someone first. If they say it first, it's totally cool, but he's not allowed. He might like someone enough to want to be their friend, which is actually a lot of people, but he won't assume this is returned easily. There's only been a few people he's used the friend word around, so he doesn't feel he has a lot who are actually friends.

Overall though, he does feel more accepted. He's still constantly afraid he'll be rejected, but the fact is, Aather is just more welcoming of his type than Berk. Several people have told him time and again it's all right he's physically weak, that it's cool he's so smart, and he's gotten more praise than he's ever expected. It's gotten to the point he's not waiting for the other shoe to drop as a whole. INDIVIDUALS will probably still reject him, but Aather as a whole will not.

What does Dirk think of Heliodor?

[protagerrant]

Dirk keeps being mroe and more grateful for Heliodor the more he remembers about his life before he came here. Even with the high turnover rate Heliodor is consistently tolerant and respectful of his idiosyncrasies while still pushing him to do better. He feels like they legit care about him and look out for him, even though the team right now is kind of loose. He even kind of appreciates the fact that Heliodor is kinda of two minds: the more innocent side of the team (Mamori, Rider) and then like... Jason and Sion and the ok we gotta kill people to survive. They balance each other well; when they get closer they will be quite formidable.
